NYC - fall 2016

Hey Everyone! I honestly cannot believe how fast this year flew by, and that we have another holiday season upon us. I have been traveling a lot recently, as I interview for residency positions across the country. The trips are short, sometimes less than 24 hours. But a few weeks ago I got to spend over a week in New York City since I had several interviews there. Not a bad place to spend some extra time, that's for sure. Individual posts on restaurants will be coming up. For now, I hope you enjoy some snippets of the trip.

One of my all time favorite burgers, at The Spotted Pig

Chocolate Fudge (again at Spotted Pig)

Memorial Building at the World Trade Center

Cappuccino at Ralph Lauren's Cafe in his store on 5th Ave

Back Patio at the new Ladurée in Soho

Champagne and Caviar underneath the Plaza Hotel 

(there is a foodie mecca down there, I definitely recommend stopping by)

Kith is a sneaker store, that has become somewhat of a cult phenomenon, and has incorporated a cereal bar into its store. I thought it was a really cute idea! See below for pictures.

The pictures below are from Chalkpoint Cafe. Avocado toast is all over menus around the city. Unfortunately due to my gluten allergy I had to forego most of them but I finally found my fix on a gluten free toast at Chalkpoint.

Smoked Wild Salmon on Toast

Smashed Avocado Toast on gluten free bread

House Made Chorizo Hash (very tasty)

Za'atar Spiced Cauliflower on Apricot-Coriander Lebneh

One of my absolute favorite meals in NYC, if not the world, is the whole roasted duck at Momofuku Ssam Bar. I have done a post on the entire meal on a prior trip (see here), but here are some snippets. It was as tasty as ever.
