Eating in NYC and LDN
One of my favorite things about traveling is trying new restaurants. I do not enjoy cooking, so anytime I have an excuse to dine out for consecutive days, I'm pretty happy.
In NYC, the culinary highlights included Marea (which recently earned a James Beard award for Best New Restaurant) and ABC Kitchen (Jean-Georges new spot inside ABC Carpet & Home).
ABC Kitchen's mismatched dishes and dishtowels/napkins were a sweet touch.
I was so pleased to find a Grom gelato not too far from our hotel! Speaking of gelato, during one of our many attempts to beat the heat, we devoured Popbars (gelato on a stick!). So good.
And here's a snapshot of a Fluffer Nutter, Thomas Keller-style (from Bouchon):
In London, I became obsessed with the coffee frappes from Paul (it was pretty hot over there). And we had a great meal at The River Cafe, plus *the* best cheese sandwich from Kappacasein at the Borough Market. On our last night in London, we dined at Zuma for dinner. It was delicious — it was awarded a spot on the list of Top 100 restaurants in the world — but waaay too hip for us. On another evening, we went to The Swan before catching A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Globe Theatre. I love the interior of the restaurant, and the view is pretty nice, too.
That's St. Paul's on the other side of the Thames from The Swan.
One of my favorite food things that we came across was at Heathrow: Pringoooals!
