Pizza with friends at Enoteca on Court, in Carroll Gardens Brooklyn. Started with a Caesar salad and octopus salad. Then had a sausage and mushroom pizza and a prosciutto and arugula pizza. Solid thin crust pizza. . . . .
Central Park with sights of the Bethesda Fountain, the Pond, Statues, and some random park shots. Beautiful park and lots to see. Great day to enjoy the outdoors. It was a little humid, but luckily we had a slight breeze. Too bad the castle was under reconstruction . . . .
Quick lunch at NYC KTown Food Gallery. Seafood mini hot pot and chicken kimchi fried rice.. . . .
Chinese food craving satisfied. Wife was tasked to find something she wanted to eat. Luckily it close by and pretty good. We had fish filet in a spicy sauce and three pepper chicken. With rice, in a hunan rice bowl, and wonton soup. The chicken was a favorite by our waiter and indeed it was. I dig the interior and the traditional Chinese furniture. . . . .
Spanish tapas dinner at Tertulia. We had tortilla -Spanish omelette, radish salad, roasted potatoes, iberico ham, sardines, and a large chicken paella. Sorry for the washes out photos. . . . . .
Dinner with an old friend from Shanghai. Got a same day reservation at Babbo. Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich’s Italian restaurant. We started off by sharing a baby wild arugula salad. Then I had the linguine with clams, pancetta, and hot chilies. Wife had the black spaghetti with rock shrimp, spicy salami, calabrese, and green chilies. And our friend got the cavatelli with Costolettr di maiale. Unfortunately I can re-pronounce, nor remember what some of these dishes are unless I look at the picture. But I know they tasted good and had great texture. We also shared a whole grilled branzino - light flakey and just right. Might have been too much food. But it was good. I wasn’t really looking for anything high end on this trip, but Babbo’s availability opened up - and I couldn’t refuse. Pricey, but well worth it. . . .
A return to Gammeeok. Had the Sogogi, fried chicken wings, and the galbi tang. The wings were better than expected. . . .
Back NYC for Having just landed we had French breakfast at Buvette. Cr’q Madame, smoked salmon and avocado on toast, and almond croissants. This little French diner filled up fast. . . . .
