Five favorites from the weekend…
{1} New yogurt flavors
Siggi’s never lets me down; the new whole milk mixed berries flavor tasted great paired with blackberries and bran flakes for work lunch.
We also tried some goat’s milk yogurt from Coach Farm.
The honey flavor was nice – not too sweet or sour – but I always miss the thicker texture of Greek.
{2} Chipotle, always
Rice bowl with chicken.
Enjoyed while watching “Criminal Minds.” I think I’m finally getting Adam hooked on it too.
{3} Green Juice
Spinach, watermelon, and lemon, from Juice Generation. Yummy, though it was a little heavy on the fruit and light on the greens.
The cashier was a boy from Puerto Rico (an island near St. Thomas), it was nice to reminisce with someone from (near) home. We sipped while we shopped at the new Flying Tiger – so cool!
{4} Dinner at the Green Table
A small farm to table spot in Chelsea Market.
Drink: 77 Sour – Breuckelen ’77 whiskey, fresh lemon, local maple syrup, Hella citrus bitters. It was delicious, the classiest whiskey sour of all time.
Eat: Vegan “Pho” – napa cabbage, bok choy, tofu, mushrooms, lime, lemongrass, chili oil. The flavors were great, but I was glad they put Pho in quotation marks because there was not a noodle to be found. We totally got pizza once we were back in Brooklyn.
Sweet: Chocolate Hibiscus Trifle – hibiscus Chantilly, pink peppercorn caramel. The cake bites (which were gluten-free) were dry and terrible, but the hibiscus Chantilly cream was juicy and sweet, just like the apple ice wine I had with it.
We probably won’t be back – based on the size for price of the entrées – but I’m quite glad that we got to enjoy the drinks and dessert.
{5} Watching the sunset on the High Line
We got a plum jasmine shaved ice from people’s pops to crunch while we people and sky watched.
Also juicy and sweet! We need to get up there more often.
Did you like the high line??? We went a few years ago and it was cool so I bet it’s even better now! Miss you!
It’s great now! Lots of little food stands and a bar (and the view, duh!). Miss you too!! We can go when you visit… 🙂
