Hi Folks as promised but a bit late here’s a list of places that we ate in during our recent trip to NY.
First Night we went to Sushi Mikes which is a bit out of town at a place called Dobbs Ferry. it’s easy to reach by train on the Hudson Line from Grand Central the restaurant is on the corner of Main St and Cedar Avenue. the food was WOW, the prices were very good and I intend to go back there again and again. It was worth the train ride out, which incidentally took about 40 minutes but be warned he’s Mega Popular and if you arrive after 6:00pm be prepared to Queue or even better try and reserve a table, on the weekend the word is forget it he’s pre booked weeks in advance.
Breakfast on the first day is usually the Pershing Square Diner. This is on East 42nd St. opposite one of the entrances to Grand Central and under the Park Avenue flyover. I love this place it’s so New York and I feel such a buzz when I go there it opens about 7:30 am and stays open until late evening, the foods good and the portions are good too but it’s a wee bit more expensive than a normal deli/diner, but well worth it for the experience go there you’ll love it.
just back up the road a bit on the corner of East 38th and Madison is the Moonstruck diner this is another favourite if I’m this side of town, friendly, good price and good portions of Wholseome food opens about 7:00 am and stay’s open till late in the evening.
Next on my list for Breakfast is the Red Flame Diner. This is on west 44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue and next door to the Algonquin Hotel which is most convenient. Folks in there are friendly, foods really good and the portions are good as well opens about 7:00 am and goes on till late evening I really recommend this place, it’s my favourite place for breakfast.
Now we move onto the BXL Bar and Resteraunt. This is a belgian beer heaven, it’s on 124 West 43rd St between 6th Avenue and Broadway I try and go there as often as I can because the beers so good and the foods more than OK as well the portions are very generous and the place is always buzzing with life. The beers expensive as it’s Belgian so has had a lot of import duty applied to it but well worth the bit of extra cost. This is my favourite bar in NY.
For Lunch I make at least one trip to the Kosher Delight Deli on 12 West 46th Street between 6th Avenue and broadway. It’s a Kosher Jewish Deli, the foods is FANTASTIC, the portions are good and the price is good as well. It gets very busy during lunch so be patient as you may have to que a bit but it’s well worth it, but remember it’s closed Friday evening and all day Saturday for Jewish Sabbath.
Blooms Deli on 124 East 40th St and Lexington Avenue. This is supposed to be a famous place and boy was it a let down, the food quality was poor, the coffee was horrible, the meals didn’t arrive at the same time and I’d nearly finished mine before my partners arrived. Needles to say I won’t be going there again so I recommend give it a miss.
There’s more but I’ll save that for a later date as I don’t want to spoil you too much.
The boss
