Rock Center Cafe: Christmas Eve by the Rockefeller Tree
Dear Food Diary:
For the past 5 years, I’ve kept my own little Christmas Eve tradition – dinner by the most beloved tree. It makes up for the lack of Christmas decor in my apartment, while it paints everything Hollywood has made me believe this special night should be. I mean, who doesn’t love Home Alone 2? I grew up watching that and Christmas in NY always seemed “magical”and it is. In fact, my first trip to the Big Apple was during the holidays and it was unforgettable.
An Choi: Banh Mi n’ About Me
Dear Food Diary:
Two month ago, while waiting outside the insane lines of the Bon Appetit Pop Up Cafe, I met my first fellow blogger Jennifer (Blogging Souls), an avid traveler, cook and food lover. After her recent return from the sights and sounds of Brazil (makes me so jealous), she asked to do an interview “about me” over some “bahn mi”… get it? I know, I know, don’t worry, I’m keeping my day job.
Luke’s Lobster: Just a hype
Dear Food Diary:
It’s only been open for 2 weeks, yet it’s already gotten dozens and dozens of reviews across all foodie blogs. I’ve heard mix reviews, and even though my friend passionate caterer strongly advised me to go elsewhere, I had to be my own taste judge.
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.
wafels & dinges: just another truck
Dear Food Diary:
I saw the truck and got super excited. The guys behind the truck were very friendly and helpful as I couldn’t decide. Word of advice: don’t go on an empty stomach, it was my mistake, and i paid for it later. I ordered the Brussels Wafel and topped it with Nutella and walnuts ($6), which was huge! I only shared a little piece with my coworker and ate the rest myself, that was my lunch, and felt it was way too much afterwards.
