Pleasant NYC Sunday

Chill day. Spent the morning with Edie, and after she went down, spent the afternoon with my friend K, then road around for awhile then popped over to Brooklyn for dinner with the owner of the resto.

AM SNACK: 10:30am, iced green tea


BREAKFAST: 12:30pm, organic wholegrain cheerios with organic dead milk, a banana, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 3:15pm, a few snippets of homemade cinnamon babka


PM SNACK: 4pm, 1 slice Artichoke pizza, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Walking by under the high line, no line, so I tried a slice of Artichoke Basile's signature slice.  Basically, take a horrible "mac n' cheese" slice from a dirty kebab-and-pizza slice joint, take away the pasta, add a few leaves off a marinated artichoke bulb, and there you go. Basically a big wet pad of beschemel sauce on some generic crust, with not enough artichoke to give a particular flavor. Very heavy, very greasy, very filling, not very satisfying. The Emperor has no clothes.


DINNER: 6:15pm, matzoh ball soup, a pickle, half a smoked meat sandwich, half a portion of kasha varnishkes, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Went to Mile End with my boss, ate around the menu. Their kasha is interesting, with chicken gizzards and a little bit too much schmaltz. Still unimpressed with their meat.
