New York City - 6 days of eating......

I can't really do every day so I will do the whole week at once....here goes

2 bowls of pea soup from a great little deli in Manhattan on our way to Carnegie Hall ( I just noticed that I put this in already. I forgot that we had the internet for one day to do my term test. It is worth noting twice as I have never ordered two of anything from a restaurant before and the soup was that good and I was hungry but not for a burger, which is what they had lots of)

a free fruit/nut muffin from the Chelsea Hotel for breakfast on the subway

an incredible meal at New Leaf- a little restaurant near The Cloisters Medieval Park:
Organic greens salad with garlic olive oil and blue cheese and a Portobello mushroom wrap with red peppers and cheese

Breakfast at Leo House- a Catholic Hotel in downtown Manhattan: $7 porridge, stewed prunes, fruit cup, peeled orange, home fries, fruit bread , tea. I am stuffed!

A photographer friend of Henry's took us to Nobu (Robert De Niro's restaurant): If you google Nobu you can see a menu as I don't actually know what we ate but there were about 10 different plates with everything from edemame beans, salad with something brown and a really good sauce, tiny slices of fish and kobe beef just perfect for one bite with chopsticks, thinly sliced ginger etc. Amazing taste and very expensive although we didn't pay! Lucky us!

Another meal was at an Italian restaurant called Tramoni
Spinach salad with apples and walnuts
Bread with oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping
Gluten free fusilli pasta with primavera vegetables in a light fresh tomato sauce

and last but not least and not really last as it was on Saturday night and we left on Monday......

O'Neall"s for the CMG (classical music guide meet-up) another great restaurant and there were 15 people chatting away about classical music and NYC weather (cold)
We had baby greens salad with garlic olive oil (again)
fettucinni with grilled veggies and garlic sauce (whew, smelly me)
For dessert: fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries with clotted cream on the side and two tasty butter cookies YUM!

This is the last thing....... another fresh and stewed fruit breakfast at Leo House and then a train to catch......What a great week of eating and the classical music was great too!
