Once we arrived in the city, my roommate and I were very hungry, a state I particularly love to be in, because it's a feeling I love to satisfy. We went straight to Union Square to fill our tummies with a very chocolatey lunch.
Max Brenner's international restaurant serves at least a little bit of chocolate in every meal, and there happened to be a lot in mine.
I ordered the pancakes with dark chocolate truffle cream, caramelized bananas, and cocoa powder dusted over the top.
While waiting to meet a friend for dinner that evening, we searched the streets of Soho for some outdoor seating and a good appetizer. We found both at Mezzogiorno, ordering the calamari sauteed with tomato, avocado and red pepper. I'm not sure I've ever had calamari that wasn't fried, but I loved it just the same.
I also enjoyed my fair share of yummy bread and breadsticks!
By the time we trekked a long distance from Penn Station to Upper East (with a crowded walk through Times Square), we were hungry yet again.
Meeting up with my good D.C. friend, we again found a place outdoors and inhaled our own pizzas while enjoying the evening breeze.
I have no pictures to share of other meals, but we did find a great place in the West Village at which to . . you guessed it, enjoy the great weather with open air seating. I can't recall the name of the restaurant, but the grilled salmon sandwich was amazing!
As usual, NYC did not disappoint in the food department. It only made it very hard to choose which restaurants to try!
