  Duck Lunch at Momofuku Ssam Bar – NYC

  It’s hard to get away from work for a nice lunch. I’m not talking about Chinatown lunches where you can be in and out within fifteen minutes if you’re a fast eater like me. I’m talking about a real sit down restaurant with waiter service. But if you can, I highly recommend Momofuku Ssäm Bar for their duck lunch. MORE »

  Since moving to the East Village from the Lower East Side, I miss being able to grab a pineapple bun on Grand on the way to work. I often forget though that Milk Bar is right in my hood and on the way to the train station as long as I deviate a block or two.

  Chocolate Malt used to be my favorite cake truffle flavor at Momofuku Milk Bar, but now I’m in love with the Birthday Cake Truffle ($4 for 3), vanilla cake coated with white chocolate and a “rainbow cake crumble” heavy on the rainbow sprinkles. Rather fortunate since Chocolate Malt is no longer on the menu. MORE »

  Rye & Pastrami Croissant from Momofuku Milk Bar – NYC

  I’m still in conch paradise (a.k.a. Providenciales, Turks and Caicos), but just wanted to give a shout-out to the Rye & Pastrami Croissant ($6) at Momofuku Milk Bar. The Rye & Pastrami Croissant is as good as it sounds. It’s a rye croissant with lots of rye seeds filled with thickly sliced pastrami, Russian dressing, and sauerkraut. (Interestingly enough, according to the ingredients, the croissants also contain Sriracha, but there’s no discernible spiciness.) The pastrami, although juicy, doesn’t have the depth of flavor as Katz’s pastrami, but when it’s stuffed in a buttery croissant with sauerkraut and Russian dressing, it really doesn’t matter. MORE »
