  • Manhattan: UES Dining

    mezzeplate

    Sunday night's dinner plate looked like this mezze plate I copied from Google images.  I was famished by the time I got back to the apartment around 7:30p, and thankfully, so was my hostess.  We walked a few block to Beyoglu and dined al fresco.  Mediterranean salads (tabouli, eggplant, humus, yogurt, stuffed grape leaf, and olives) created a veritable work of art, which I consumed along with a fine Greek Cabernet.

    Monday night we ventured 6-8 blocks for Chinese, the favorite dish being Chicken with Three Nuts.  Tuesday's dinner at Mumtaz's (authentic Indian cuisine) capped off my whirlwind tour of NYC. 

    I would recommend all three of these restaurants and might even submit a review to this fun guide of everything UES, if I lived in the area.

     

    Here's a link to my favorite NYC breakfast.

  • YUMMMM! How much fun is that? Thank you for posting this, Dana. I love the opportunity to try different foods.

    We've had visitors from Brooklyn in our area for a few weeks. And I just received Helene Hanff's book about NYC, Apple of My Eye, in the mail. I am SO ready to go to NYC. Alas, I don't know when that would be.
  • @magistramater - I love Helene Hanff, but have never read this particular volume.  I will try and find a copy of Apple of My Eye.  Tanks!
