5 Burro Cafe (Brunch)

What do people in NYC do on Sunday mornings?  They have brunch, of course.  DLS and I headed to one of my neighborhood staples, 5 Burro Cafe, one December Sunday morning, because I’d been curious about the brunch there for quite a while.  DLS ordered the Western omelet, which he liked.  (And yes, I teased him for ordering what I thought was the least Mexican dish on the menu.)  I’ve enjoyed huevos rancheros at many places in the past, so I saw no reason not to get these here.  Well, the rancheros sauce here – the red underneath my eggs [...]

The Highliner

The next morning – a bright, unseasonably warm Sunday – found me really craving brunch.  It’d been a while since I’d had brunch (as you can see by that tag, which is used mostly by TT), but I’d recently read about The Highliner on Tasty Eating.  Perfect for its proximity to both DLS’s apartment and our next stop, Chelsea Piers for the batting cages!  (And I now have video of me hitting 5 balls in a row!  No editing required.  I fouled them all, but I still hit them!)  A brisk walk down the Highline and we decided to sit [...]

Highpoint Bistro & Bar (Brunch)

After sleeping in the day after we held the Father’s Day Gift Dinner feast, we decided to meet up with CT’s Father for brunch since he was in town the whole weekend and we didn’t get a chance to meetup yet. CT & I wanted to go to P.C. Richards to check out some new stoves, so we decided to go somewhere nearby. I remembered that Highpoint Bistro & Bar was nearby and offered quite a nice brunch. We enjoyed their clam bake back on July 4th a lot and wanted to return. Who knew it would be so soon? [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Yerba Buena Perry

For Father’s Day this year, CT’s Dad decided he wanted some upscale Mexican food, so we ended up at Yerba Buena Perry in the West Village. I had heard of it and its sister restaurant in the East Village before, but have never been. The menu looked delicious, so I was pretty excited to try it. Some of us were pretty excited for the brunch deal they offer; $12 for one hour of unlimited cocktails. Although, they only offered a selection of about six different cocktails including sangria, mimosas, etc. CT and I both ended up getting a Pisco cocktail [...]

Saravanna Bhavan

BIG NEWS ON THE HOME FRONT: I asked CT to move in with me and she said YES! She may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time she made her decision. Not sure, hehe. On a recent Sunday, her Dad came into town with the station wagon to make the first of many trips from her place to mine. Luckily, her apartment is only five blocks from mine, which made the actually moving of boxes pretty easy. Since CT’s Dad was coming in early to help, we decided last minute to have Indian Brunch. This was decided [...]
