Have you ever been to the Lower East Side?
It is worth the subway transfer to get there.
I wondered why NYC was suddenly seeming really small...and then I realized that I have been stuck in a rut on the Upper West Side. I have been limiting my myself to places I can easily walk to or places easily reached by the red line- no transfers allowed!
My friend Jess gave me a good reason to branch out and head down to the lower east side.
I rode the F train for the first time and I couldn't help but sing Ani DiFranco to myself:
"fourteenth street and the garbage swirls like a cyclone
three o'clock in the afternoon and I am going home
F train is full of high school students
so much shouting
so much laughter..."
three o'clock in the afternoon and I am going home
F train is full of high school students
so much shouting
so much laughter..."
Sometimes I wonder why my weight continues to go up, not down, despite my goal to lose weight- I absolutely eat my way through New York. And enjoy every bite.
We couldn't help drooling over the menu options and finally selected a couple of entrees to share:
Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich-
Scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, buttermilk biscuit, tomato jam with hash browns.
Brioche French Toast-
Caramelized bananas, roasted pecans, warm maple butter
It was divine. Absolutely divine.
Ms. White.
The Clinton Street Baking Company was in this awesome, gritty, little neighborhood.
Lots of picture worthy shots.
I love these.
We made a stop at Economy Candy- All the candy you enjoyed as a little kid, now reunited under one roof.
They even had candy cigarettes.
Thanks for venturing out with me, Jess!
P.S. I saw this on my way home in the subway station:

How fun, oh those subways intimidate me, you are brave for venturing out!!!! Oh my gosh that breakfast looked good.
You listen to Ani DiFranco? I was a big fan back in my college days. I just knew we were kindred spirits.
