Perfect timing cause Angie’s mom was in town…..Angela junior and senior are both food lovers who just had lunch at Bouley earlier and didn’t want to turn down our invitation to another food event. So, Lon got our tickets and we headed over to Pier 94 where the event was supposed to […]

Mizu
Friday, May 19, 2006
Mizu is always packed but aside from slightly above average decor, I can’t see why. The noise level is like being in a sports bar and 50 Cent’s “Candyshop” is blaring loudly. The wait staff rushes you and is ready to grab your plate as you pick up your last bite….even though […]
Barbounia
Monday, May 15, 2006
My college girlfriends get together for each of our birthdays. It seems common and simple yet it’s the best thing because it guarantees that no matter how busy we all get, we will get together at least a certain number of times per year….it used to be 6 of us, it is […]
Dylan Prime
Friday, May 12, 2006
Lon took me to Dylan Prime for my birthday because Kasi recommended the cheese fondue and Lon knows that I want to dip everything into melted cheese =P
The fondue (made with farmhouse cheeses) was delicious! The consistency and flavor was perfect. It comes with chopped granny smith apples, pieces of bread, […]
Grano Trattoria
Wednesday, May 10, 2006
Grano is suprisingly good. It looks like the average West Village Italian with neighborhood prices. The food definitely takes a step up. The bread and our appetizer was just good but the fresh homemade pastas we got were excellent.
Breadsticks are on every table. The waiter then brings Italian bread and their version […]
L’Annam
Saturday, May 6, 2006
Generally, pretty good flavors at L’Annam L’Annam. Authentic fried rice with shrimp and Chinese sausage, a good Curry Seafood Casserole, nicely sauteed prawns, and all in very large portions. It’s cheap for the area and about a block from my apartment. I would suggest that they go lighter on the corn starch but […]
Piola
Friday, May 5, 2006
Really thin crust pizza on the expensive side at Piola, the international chain. It’s decent but not much flavor and skimpy on toppings. The service is really good so that’s prob what you’re paying for. I don’t like the very colorful decor either.
Aja
Thursday, May 4, 2006
Aja is a nice looking place with nice bathrooms….lots of wood and stone, dimly lit, with a bar on the side and a sushi bar in front. The menu is very extensive, covering Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisines.
We decided to get a soup, a salad, and 2 appetizers, and 1 entree to share. […]
Pork Tenderloin
Monday, May 1, 2006
MMmmmmm……..a whole roasted pork tenderloin with a lime cilantro rice, mango salsa, and sugar snap peas…..
Check out the pictures on Flickr.
And then since we had a whole tenderloin left after that meal, we made them into burritos….yum
