~*~ Oh, The Food We Ate ~*~

Five days of food, fabulous food in NYC. What a delicious way to get to know this cosmopolitan city. Scroll slowly and savor the experience. Dream of future scratch-and-sniff technology.

Japanese at Geido Restaurant in Brooklyn. Yam & pumpkin tempura, beef negimaki (broiled strips of beef marinated in teriyaki sauce and rolled with scallions), okononiyaki (a savory pancake), and warm sake. Seems I was too hungry and excited to remember to take a photo of the food before we devoured it all, but at least I got a picture of Katie and the graffiti walls :-)

Chinese at Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown. Scrumptious steamed pork bun, shrimp & snow pea leaf dumplings, scallion pancake, veggie spring roll (not pictured) and a delightful oolong tea.

Can you say Dough? The breakfast of champions! Mine was hibiscus (left) and Katie's the blood orange. Don't even try to imagine how yummily delicious and nutritious they are!

Hmm. I'm feeling a little hungry. What say we grab a lobster sandwich before we finish checking out the Brooklyn Flea market? (I stole the photo)

Shwarma, anyone? Yes, please! That's a Middle Eastern pita sandwich with garlic aeoli, rotisserie chicken, onion, tomato, and pickle - all mooshed into a sandwich press. Way better than these simple ingredients could possibly convey.

Time for some American fare at Shake Shack. Burgers, fries, a caramel shake, and a creamsicle float. Don't worry. We didn't eat it all by ourselves. We shared a fry with one of the local squirrels.

If you've had one doughnut, you've not had them all! How about creme brulee (sm), blackberry jelly-filled peanut butter glazed (sq), hazelnut filled (sm), or maacha green tea (cake)? A nice glass of iced hibiscus tea on the side.

Not much time left, but it wouldn't be a trip to New York without some Jamaican patties. I went with the traditional beef and a Ting (grapefruit soda); Katie had jerk chicken and Pineapple soda. Ah, Jamaica. I miss you, mahn.

Are you getting hungry? Or feeling stuffed? Let's wrap it up with some cream puffs from Beard Papa's. They're oh so light. You can do it, I know you can!

As a reminder, we ate this food over a period of 5 days, and we did a whole lot of walking! Why am I trying to justify this tastiness? You're just jealous :-P
