i finally made it to superiority burger during a low key night in the east village.  their menu is entirely vegetarian (and can be made vegan upon request), and while their “burger” selection remains the same, the sides are always changing.  i am not sure this was the best veggie burger i have ever had, but it was pretty darn good.

“sloppy joe” with fried onions on top.  i think i liked this even more than the burger. mambo potatoesafter dinner, we had a lovely nightcap at evelina.

if i had to pick my favorite restaurant in nyc, it would be the nomad, hands down.  i remember my very first unforgettable meal here years ago with some of my closest girl friends, and i have been fortunate to go back several times since.

here are some pictures from a delicious meal i shared there a few weekends ago:

some cocktails to start.
the onion table bread.  they give you as much as you want! egg. eggplant parmigiana. gazpacho.roasted squash.
and their most famous dish – their chicken. milk and honey dessert. sour cherry crumble and ricotta ice cream.  sounds so weird but it was so so so so good.

i had an impromptu dinner at abc kitchen with a dear friend last week.  we didn’t have reservations – just walked in early on a monday and ended up snagging the table of a couple that had cancelled their reservation.

abc kitchen has been on my list for a very, very long time, but i was never able to get a decent reservation time/day.  i was so happy to finally try it – and it was worth the wait.

sorry in advance for the crappy iphone pictures.
