New York City Food Report

I’m (barely) back from a whirlwind tour of New York City where I introduced my five (perfect) nieces to the culture and food of the Big Apple. We hit two of my long-time favorite pizza haunts (Famous Original Ray’s & Rosario’s), a touristy, yet solid Italian (Carmine’s), a so-so, but historic deli (Katz’s), and my secret best-in-NYC Chinese restaurant, (East Ocean). In between experiencing their first bite of spicy soft shell crab (picture) and potato knishes, we hit plenty of post-Christmas clothing sales. Funny, I don’t remember making the jump from Super Target to Bergdorf’s before I could drive. More later.
