Get Your Carb On

Some hot spots for getting that carb fix in NYC....

S'MAC in the East Village

Jim and I stopped in on President's Day this past Monday and
enjoyed the Cajun mac and Cheese - warm, yum, and big.
We had left overs but it's always fun to share!

Pomme Frites

 We had seen a show on foodnetwork and this place was featured - had to try!

I went with their most famous sauce (sweet mango chutney mayo)
 but couldn't resist tasting a few others.  You can get the sauces in sets of three
 or even have them dump the sauce right on the frites!

Teqa

 Not known for their fries, but they have good ones non the less.  

Papas Fritas loco - chili dusted fries with pickled red onion.

Little Girl In A Big World

 

My cousin who is like one of my sisters is on a big adventure right now.  Taking advantage of some of those wonderful opportunities as students she is studying abroad in Scotland.  I remember when I studied in England - LOVED it!  Hope she enjoys her experience as much as I loved mine.  I'm looking forward to keeping up with her photos and stories on her blog.  We didn't have blogs back when Jim and I studied abroad.
