Just when you thought I couldn’t possibly have anything else to say about Restaurant Week – it’s time for round two. Tomorrow, I’ll be traveling to another incredible city to participate: New York! It’s part of a girls’ trip for my friend’s birthday that conveniently overlaps with NYC Restaurant Week. We won’t just be indulging in three-course meals, though, so also expect a full report of all the best bites in between. After a short time living there and a handful of trips since, I’ve decided that a few foods are mandatory whenever I’m in the Big Apple: bagel and lox, pastrami (preferably from Katz’s), pizza, and two kinds of cookies (namely, chocolate-chip from Levain and black-and-white from Lenny’s). I’m excited to try several new places this trip and taste the cuisine of chefs I’ve followed for years. Check back next week for more on my NYC adventures.
