Brooklyn and Fried Chicken


Sometimes New York can feel like a small town. For example, spring broke a few weeks ago and, to celebrate, we spent the day with good friends in Brooklyn. We enjoyed gourmet street cart dumplings (like you do in Brooklyn!) and took the long route to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. We all were starving from pounding the hipster pavement, so we were set to leave when we see these guys walk up right behind us... ...and they had pizza!
All four of us quickly devoured their leftovers and headed for a new "IT" restaurant in the city. BTW--if you find yourself in New York anytime soon, Motorino really does have delicious pizza.

In an effort to explore more food hot spots around town, we snatched up a fried chicken dinner reservation at Momofuku Noodle Bar. I know what you're thinking, but it was supposed to be the best fried chicken in town. And there's a huge waiting list to get a reservation. And you have to check the website to book a reservation at 10am for a spot a month away! And you needed at least four people. So, we assembled a party of eight and chowed down on a triple-fried-heaping-mound-of-chicken-dinner.

this looks like SO much fun! and makes me miss my little city :)
I'd have totally gone for the fried chicken...what an opportunity.

Also, wanted to thank you for your little gift in the mail! I used it for Beezus' birthday party supplies and saved a bit for when we move into our permanent house next week! Thank you so much for thinking of us.
Hope you continue to have such a blast in NYC!
