Was gonna be a filling day as we were going on a walking Food Tour: West Village, East Village, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, The Lower East Side, and who knows where else!
Guess what? It was a blast!
We met Dave at a Chocolate Store and another couple from Adelaide, Australia, Jo and Craig, joined us.
But, before we started the tour, due to mis-timing we had an hour to kill before hand. Jerry said "Any geocaches around?" and, yup there was one! Headed to it, logged our find, and then, we found the front of the house they used for "The Cosby Show" show was right around the corner... cool! Geocaching shows you the oddest places sometimes!
Now the feasting begins
1. Hot chocolate at Jacques Torres in Hudson Square
2. Black pepper sausage at Pino's Prime Meats in Soho
3. Pakistani Big Mac and soup at Lahore Deli in Soho
4. Pepperoni Square Pizza at Prince St Pizza in NoLiTa
5. Lobster Tail pastry at Fererra's in Little Italy
Dave, our host!
6. Pandan Ice Cream at Chinatown Ice Cream Factory in Chinatown - a colorful area for sure!
Not sure if you can see well, but the exotic flavors of Ice Cream are Chocolate, Vanilla, etc. We had Pandam, made from a green leaf. Was pretty tasty!
7. Cantonese Salt Baked Shrimp at Great New York Noodletown in Chinatown
- View from the top of the hotel at 50 Bowery
8. Sesame Pancake with Duck at Vanessa's Dumpling House in Chinatown
9. Pepperoni Slice at Scarr's Pizza in the Lower East Side
This is the cooked dough for the Thick Style Pizza. Looked like Foccacia! The owner, now in his 40's, was a 'stickup' kid in his teens, meaning, stick your hands up, I'm gonna rob you sorta kid! Doing quite well now!
10.Pickles and Pickled Pepper at Pickle Guys in the Lower East Side
11.Bagel with lox and sour pickles at Russ and Daughters in the Lower East Side
The absolute bet Lox and Bagel I have ever had!!!! Fresh Lox sliced oh so thin... Like you could almost see through the slice!
12.Beer at McSorley's in the East Village
Established in 1854... lots of interesting history... if you have a minute, google it!
These wish bones are from WWI. The owner gave everyone going to war a turkey and said bring the wishbone back and I will keep it here and when you return you can claim it. These are bones that were never claimed. There were actually a few more, but they were not kept well and the Health Department made them remove them.
13.Marinated Fresh Mozzarella at Faicco's in the West Village
As we headed to Faicco's, the drizzly rain started. And, once in Faicco's I forgot to take pics of the cheese... was quite good!
14.Hand Piped Cannoli at Rocco's in the West Village
THE END... with full tummies and a special memory!
