powering through heat and humidity




This visit with the Sis and R coincided with an excruciatingly hot and humid weekend. Thus, food consumption was reasonable.

Menu included:

Friday: Spotted Pig (burgers, pig ear), Billy's Bakery, People's Pop, Lombardi's (clam pie), Rice to Riches (overpriced due to over-marketing, but good pudding!).

Saturday: Levain (everything on the menu), Le Pain Quotidien, Blue Hill (amuse bouches almost the best things). Can this really be everything?

Sunday: Shakeshack shakes, Papaya Dog (overrated), Magnolia Bakery, Momofuku Ssam, Momofuku Milk Bar (wonderful cookie made with everything including coffee grounds and potato chips), Pinkberry.

Saw Behanding in Spokane with Christopher Walken. I had no idea what the play was about, but based my decision entirely on the presence of Mr. Walken. It was a pretty safe bet! I don't think I've ever seen Walken in something I didn't like, and this play seemed to fit right into his personality. Foul language and stupid humor (the play's about searching for a hand severed 40 years ago!). Enjoyable and easier to get tickets for than Fences!

The funnest! Must go back when it's fall and lovely. Look, that list of food is considered reasonable. You forgot shave ice on Fri. Also, the two lunches on Mon.
