I'm so behind on my postings, I wonder if it's even worth it to do all of the one's I've missed. But I'll do a big Combo and include most of the stuff I've been meaning to enter.
So, let's start with the diners! This month I visited my two favorite diners in NYC with two of my favorite ladies.
First it's Gemini, in Kips Bay or Midtown East, where I took mi Cariño because I was hankering for this: A Chicken Salad Triple Decker.
I've yet to taste a better chicken salad. Or better coleslaw. This is one of my biggest guilty pleasures but also it's total comfort food. I love the Gemini, and have about 10 years worth of memories from that place.
The other diner also has a lot of history, but not as deep and personal. Went to this one with Stephanie after work, this time on Midtown West. I had me the Buffalo Chicken Wrap.
The wrap was great, and the coleslaw is decent, but the diner has now started a "new plates, smaller portions" redesign deal, that although generally more healthy, like Steph told me it sucks since that's not the reason we go eat at places like these. I love that 95% of the time that I've eaten there has been with her. The last time we were there, it was right before my second date with mi Cariño. I also had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap then. I need to start being more adventurous with my meals.
Speaking of adventure, Lily and Kenisha kidnapped me for lunch this last Friday and took me to a Thai place in Brooklyn off of the Bergen Stop on the G Train. I can't remember the name - and Lily doesn't either! I'll edit this later and include all of that. We ordered off of the lunch special menu. First off a nice tiny salad
Very sweet and spicy. This was followed by some crispy fried Egg Rolls
And these were very yummy. Then I surprised myself by NOT ordering Tofu Pad Thai. But now I can't remember the name of what I ordered! Spicy Flat Noodle with Tofu is the easiest way to describe it. It might also be the plate's name.
It was good. Well worth taking the extra long lunch hour.
