Salumè

It’s press-related week – dedicated to a couple of press events or products that I’ve received for review, etc… I know how you all love reading about these I was recently invited to sample Salumè, the newly opened ‘real Italian panini’ establishment in SoHo.  The space itself is gorgeous – a square layout with huge picture windows in front, allowing as much light as there is in the sky right onto your table to illuminate the glorious food.  There’s even a ‘mezzanine’ level of sorts in the back with more windows, a gorgeous chandelier, and excellent light.  I watched [...]

Congee Village

After a couple of hours at the batting cages, BF and I had sufficiently worked up an appetite – despite my brunch – and met up with BlindBaker plus BF’s former coworker, JP (I don’t know why I referred to him as this in a previous post - one of the downsides to using initialed nicknames constantly) and his wife, VSa, to grab some food.  JP and VSa wanted to hit up Congee Village in Chinatown, which caused both BlindBaker and I to cringe internally, but I decided to put my gameface on and put aside my prejudices.  (With a name [...]

BonChon on John (again)

I recently went back to Bonchon on John for post-happy-hour-munchies.  This time, we were hooked up to the ultimate since Cookie knew the owner apparently.  Awesomeness!We started off with an order of dumplings, which were alright.  Great snack type food but nothing mind boggling or game changing.  Sir Eats A Lot ordered a chicken and a beef taco.  I know he enjoyed these greatly, and I tried a bite of each and agreed they were pretty damn good.  Great sauce on both, and moist protein with a good tortilla.  Nom. Pretty standard fries.  The chicken, per usual, was deliciously [...]

Wafels & Dinges

Yet another one of my last days down in the Financial District, and the Wafels & Dinges truck finally showed up!  I was so excited to get to try them finally before I left for good.  (Actually, I’m pretty sure this was my last day ever down there, so it was excellent timing.)  I wound up having a long conversation with one of the guys working there while they made my wafel fresh… they were both very cool and fun to talk to, but of course, held my wafel hostage!  Yes… come to me, my preciousss A BACON [...]

BonChon on John

I’ve tried BonChon a bunch of times but always at parties or get togethers where I haven’t taken photographs and haven’t had to deal with the idiocy I’ve heard is involved with ordering from BonChon.  Besides, I was never so in love with the chicken anyway.  Blurry photograph of the menu.  It was super packed on the 2nd day it was open and the line was moving super slowly.  In fact, when I was 3rd on line, I realized why it was moving so slowly: the man at the cash register was answering the phone and taking those orders before [...]
