Thai 51: Free lunch today! Score!!!
Dear Food Diary:
Walked into work today and there was this random sign about free lunch! What? This is a first, and a great surprise to start the day. The deal was, anything you eat for lunch would be reimbursed, no fine print, anything you want.
Brooklyn Edible Social Club: dinner at a long lost friend’s I’ve never met
Dear Food Diary:
Saturday I was on the F train for exactly 1 hour and 40 minutes, just to fill my curiosity and keep my taste buds entertained. This is my second Supper Club dinner experience, thanks to my friend Yvonne, who’s the author of the blog underground dining. She raved about her first experience with this Brooklyn Edible Social Club (five course dinners parties for about 12 guests), and since she lives for these events, I trusted her.
David Burke & Leblon Cachaca: Beverage Series Dinner + the chef himself
Dear Food Diary:
Wednesday night, one of my favorite chefs David Burke (Fishtail and Townhouse) hosted an amazing eat, drink and be merry event at his Bloomingdale’s location. This was the 3rd of his Beverage Series Dinner, where his yummy food is paired with different adult beverages. Leblon Cachaca (pronounced ka-sha-sa, a Brazilian spirit distilled from sugar cane juice, unlike the rum which is made from molasses) was the partner for the evening.
Co.: unique and creative pies + Dewar’s Scotch Whisky Tasting Event
Dear Food Diary:
Met up with 2 girlfriends to catch up. The first place we picked didn’t seem to have AC, and even though the menu was awesome, we couldn’t bear with the heat and walked away, fortunately NYC is full of great places, and a few doors down, we found Co.
Communal tables, water in clear glass milk jars, super friendly waters and a inventive menu.
Bracco’s Clam & Oyster Bar: Seafood in Long Island
Dear Food Diary:
The first time I went to Bracco’s was on a hot summer afternoon, for an early dinner. We had spent the day at Jones Beach for my friend Cindy’s Beach Baptism, so to celebrate her big day and to welcome her to our big Christian family, we took her out for a seafood feast in Freeport. The weather was great, and the food was awesome.
Freeport reminded us of being on a small street in the Capes, somewhere outside of NY, and Bracco’s was very casual and laid back, shorts, tanks and flip flops kind of place.
