Brunch: Prime Meats (Brooklyn: 465 Court Street)
The service for brunch was very slow...slow to order, slow to come out. The sausage was juicy and flavorful. The soup had nice flavors but was a bit watered down.

beechers


Lunch: Beechers (Flat Iron: 900 Broadway)
One of my favorite lunch spots in the neighborhood. This shop specializes in in-house made cheeses. With this cheese they make great grilled cheeses and tomato soups! The combo sets you back a bit at around $14.00...but is well worth it. Perfect rainy day treat!

financier

Lunch: Financier (east village: 2 Astor Place)
Grabbed a quick sandwich and tea from Financier. I'm usually not a fan of pre-made sandwiches but this one was not too bad. Also teas and coffee come with a madeleine.

Evening Treat: Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain (513 Henry Street, Brooklyn)
Traveled back in time at Brooklyn Farmacy. This charming shop offers all things sweet, classic and good. I had the "hot flash float" (hot chocolate with pistachio cardamom ice cream) I will be dreaming about it till I return.

---

spaghetti alla chittara: hand cut pasta, goat sausage, chilies, aged caprino
---
Lunch: Avoce Columbus Circle (columbus circle: 10 Columbus Circle)
My favorite part about Avoce is the complimentary ricotta and bread, if I could I'd just come here for that. The pasta however is excellent. I've never been disappointed here.

cafe gitane

Lunch: Cafe Gitane (nolita: 242 Mott Street)
I used to love Cafe Gitane, however its been awhile since I've been back. I'm sad to report that I'm a little disappointed. I had the cous cous with chicken, however the chicken was really dry and over cooked. It might be a bit before I come back here.
