Boqueria

CT & I have been back for from our Panama trip for a little while now and already have a bunch of NYC based posts for you. Rather than let them get “stale,” we are gonna have a couple bonus posts at 12:15. Enjoy! After an afternoon of upcoming dinner prep and relaxing, we headed out to meet our friend, TX, at Boqueria for tapas. It was the last day of the Blackboard Eats deal of 30% off for the restaurant, and we knew beforehand that we definitely wanted to take advantage of this deal. We had all been to [...]

Flushing Food Tour, Round 3

A while back, I was talking to my friend Hungry over at Tasty Eating about food in Flushing… and ice cream at Eddie’s.  She mentioned how she’d actually never been to the food stalls, and also how she wanted to try Eddie’s, so we made plans to do a whole walkaround from Flushing to Eddie’s.  Are we insane?  A little bit.  It was awesome, and we happened to pick a day that was excellent in terms of weather – not hot, and just a slight bit of cold (windy, really), so as we walked and warmed up, we never got too [...]

Tuesdays with TT: La Fonda Del Sol

CT’s Dad has been traveling all over the world the past couple months for work.  On a recent Thursday night, CT & I were invited to dinner in order to catch up since we hadn’t seen him in a long time.  We decided on La Fonda Del Sol in the Met Life Building next to Grand Central Station.  My Dad was here for lunch a couple months back and raved about it.   I recently read the book, Appetite City by William Grimes, about the culinary history of New York.  It was very interesting and it turns out La Fonda [...]

Tuesdays with TT: BONUS: The Book of Tapas Release Party

Soon after I signed up as an official correspondent for Feisty Foodie, I was invited to a book release party in Soho. The book is called “The Book of Tapas” and there would be tapas and Spanish wine and sherry. Basically a win-win situation for me. Who doesn’t like tapas and wine? Alex Raij of Txikito and El Quinto Pino was the host of the evening. Apparently she was a contributor to the book, but not the author. The party was at the Phaidon Store in Soho. Basically a store for all of the publisher’s books. It was nice and [...]

Salon de Tapas

AB’s birthday passed recently (errr… a while back; I keep pushing this post off), so we gathered to celebrate.  Unfortunately, I was a bit late for dinner, so as soon as I sat down, I was handed a glass of strawberry sangria (which was surprisingly REALLY good!), and didn’t stop drinking for two hours, so the pictures are incredibly blurry.  As I had no hand in the ordering process, I also don’t know the names of everything.  Oops! Slices of filet or steak of some sort.  Super tender – at one point, AB actually cut a piece in half by [...]
