My girlfriend and I skipped a planned outing last night because my eyes were acting up (I get the most ridiculously sensitive watery eyes when I’ve got a cold), so I don’t have anything major to report, I’m afraid. We did have some good delivery from Pongal, the Michelin-starred Southern Indian restaurant on 1st Avenue and 64th Street – although I find their dosas a bit soggy when delivered, their spicing is impeccable.
Thankfully this wasn’t a stomach flu, so I ended up eating a hell of a lot of Boerum Hill Food Company last weekend – even at my most feverish, I had a craving for the perfectly flavorful/bland chicken in their tacos and enchiladas. I also had a damn good plate of breakfast nachos there, as well as an excellent Irish lamb stew at Ceol. I guess the spicy stuff doesn’t appeal as much when you’re unwell?
I had an EXCELLENT sandwich from Alidoro for lunch today that was worthy of note – the Fellini, which consists of sopressata, mozzarella, arugula and hot peppers. I had it on a semolina baguette, and it was amazing. Just what the doctor ordered.
Hopefully I’ll have another update or two before the end of the week – at any rate, look for normal post volume to resume next week. Stay well!
