Lunch Break

Slow day at work today, so I decided to go out for lunch.  Went to Three Tarts bakery based on a coworker's recommendation.  I ate an adult grilled cheese sandwich that was ooey gooey goodness with caramelized onions and bacon!  The pumpkin spice cupcake gave the NYC bakery a good run for it's money.

Two Boots

What a strange name for a delicious pizza place. Nakul ordered delivery pizza from Two Boots. They forgot the basil on the Margarita, which was worked out because Alison had a basil plant growing on ther balcony.  The Cleoplatra Jones, fantastic crust topped with sweet Italian sausage, roasted peppers, onions and mozzarella was awesome. Here she is:

Apps

Not the appetizer kind of apps, but the iPhone kind of apps. 

 I used TVFoodMaps to find breakfast while in NYC, Tal Bagels was featured on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate."

Plenty of space and seating available:

 Everything bagel with golf ball sized scallion cream cheese ball in the bagel hole:

Cluck Cluck

Alison told me about an awesome bakery, Two Little Red Hens, near her apartment.  The name sounded very familiar and when we arrived, I had walked through that bakery back in 2004!  

The decorated cakes were as cute as ever.  

We opted for the pumpkin spice, marble and Brooklyn blackout cupcakes.  The pumpkin spice was marvelous and the Brooklyn blackout was rich and chocolaty.  

Expensive, Overrated and

kind of delicious.  While I was in NYC, Max Brenner was right outside the subway station.  How could I not stop in?!

 After reviewing the menu, I settled on a blended frozen chocolate drink.  Not bad, but not worth the $7+ for it.

Rick Bayless at the Airport

I've been traveling quite a bit for work these days.  Airport food food has come a long way.  I had breakfast at Rick Bayless' Frontera Grill to go.  A little salty, still delicious.  Here's my egg and chorizo breakfast sandwich.  

Stop by gate B11 when you have a some time.
