Eating Our Way Through New York

I sent some pictures in two blogs before this. I still cannot seem to get the picture thing straight. Steve just left and I came to talk to y'all. We had a great time. He was suppose to fly in at 5:00pm Thursday and did not get in till 7:00pm. We were going to go to an open house at my school. I was excited about introducing him to all my new friends. It was not meant to be. He did get here in time to go to the play American Idiot. We made it just in time. It was high energy, and good music we really enjoyed it. Afterwards we ate at a diner. The next day I went to school and Steve played. I sure am glad he was playing in the apt when they came to fix my Internet. I am not sitting in the hall on the floor to write this. On Friday night we had a nice meal at the Gotham Bar and Grill. Steve and my first course are pictured below. Steve also got the Soft Shelled Crab, it was beautiful but we were so excited we forgot to snap a picture. I got the duck presentation and taste equally as good. We walked back to my apt.

Saturday we had brunch at Balthazar's and enjoyed a slow easy meal. Good food, good coffee and some great people watching. We left there to shop, walk, shop, walk and walked right into Little Italy. We found a perfect seat on the corner in the shade. We ordered a small pizza and a glass of wine. We were not even hungry but our feet were tired. The pizza was really good. We had no trouble eating it. We sat next to 2 French women. They could not speak English but we communicated very well. Our feet rested we returned to our walking. We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. This is such a great thing to do in New York. It is free, great view, and totally safe. We were told not to do the bridge at night. After the bridge we went all the way to 27Th and 5Th Avenue. Looked around at the shops and things. It was about 5:00pm and we were tired. We walked back to the apt. and got ready to eat. We ate at the Strip House. On the way in I was asked if people really stripped in there. I hope she thought I looked good enough to strip. I told her it was a Steak House and she looked so disappointed. The dessert on the next blog is our dessert. We walked home. I was not worried about calories we walked over 10 miles on Saturday.

Sunday we went to www.minettatavernny.com . We wanted to try the aged beef hamburger. I got the cheeseburger and fries and Steve got the aged beef burger. We cut them in half and tried both. The regular burger won in both our eyes. The aged burger was really good but just did not taste like a burger. I really don't like it when Steve has to leave. I will be home next weekend for 3 days. I am excited about sleeping in my own bed.


I will write again this week. I have so many great pictures from school. I may send a bunch of small blogs to catch up.
