Oh My Deliciousness...

Not sure if that is a word or not, but I just had the most wonderful meal at Diner in Brooklyn. A friend recommended that I go there and have a burger while I checked out Brooklyn. Besides the famous grass-fed burger, the menu was made up mostly of specials. Once I heard the choices, I swayed from the burger. I had the flatbread as an appetizer. It was drizzled with honey and thyme, and served with a mixed greens salad and a brie-like cheese. The honey/cheese combo was wonderful!! I then had a sirloin steak with french fries and some delicious butter sauce. The butter sauce was divine. I also had a fizzy red wine served chilled named Lini. It was very refreshing on this lovely summer day in NYC. Great meal - highly recommend it!

In a New York Minute...

So, I have been in NYC since Saturday and am exhausted. This city really doesn't sleep! Some thoughts....

• I had thought that as an experienced traveler, I should be able to navigate the subway without incident. This is not the case. I had every intention of making it over to the DUMBO market in Brooklyn. I gave up on the subway and ended up in SOHO.
  
• Dive 75 is a great bar on the Upper West Side. I played Connect Four with some new friends.
  
• I also had some vino at Bin71 up that way as well. We met some crazy characters who were celebrating a birthday, and apparently love Legos.
• I did wander through the East Village and found some amazing thrift/ consignment stores on 9th and 11th just off Thomson Square. I can't wait to wear my fun sequin disco top!
  
• Shake Shack lives up to the hype. The burger was delish!!
  

More to come later!
