neat!

i have three:
perbacco.

i just got an email this morning that jenis ice cream (previously featured on this website) now makes eggnog ice cream.

i think conceptually it sounds delicious.

when i was six, i bit into fried creamed corn thinking it was a fried mozzarella stick. in addition to being the wrong food, the creamed corn tasted like it had gone off.

i cant eat anything that looks like a fried mozzarella stick anymore or any sort of fried nugget. its a shame.

there were a couple of talk threads this fall on where to eat your turkey day dinner in nyc:

well, first congratulations!

if i got married again, i think i would have my wedding at blue hill at stone barns. you can rent the whole thing out for the evening and they could help you with most of the planning. plus AMAZING food.

also, i have heard really good things about abigail kirsh the caterer. you can look her up and see which venues she supports and i think her group also does event management.

finally, danny meyer's catering company, union sq events is pretty awesome and fun. they have a list of venues they support on their website .

you can maybe use meyer and kirsh's lists to start thinking about a good venue. being a lover of food, i would say pick the caterer first and venue second (unless you go for a blue hill which is a twofor).

cookshop takes reservations and is not that far from penn station. you could walk around the highline after.

you can also try jane, which takes reservations and has great french toast but is not as close to penn station as cookshop.

almost invariably,
oatmeal with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
a large coffee with milk x2.

how about little owl?

i like the dean and deluca test tube spice racks.

do you order from fresh direct? they have them.

the atmosphere has gone downhill somewhat since opening, but rye house on 17th between 5th and 6th had some really interesting/tasty cocktails last time i was there.
