We made it safely home after quite an experience, getting back from New York. Remember the storm last week, well we were right in the middle of it all! We headed to JFK in New York for our flight to Indianapolis, just to find out that it was cancelled due to the weather..so we knew we had to get out of town that day or we would be there for a few extra days...we decided to get on a flight to Cincinnati (we were lucky there was one headed out). We got into Cincinnati around 6:30p, the last flight in before they shut down the airport! We then rented a 4 wheel drive and drove home. Yes, we drove home! 5 hours later we made it....it was a scary drive to say the least. But we made it home safe and sound.
New York was amazing! Especially with all the Super Bowl activities. We headed to Time Square, walked on the Brooklyn Bridge, experienced the subway, saw the great light show with Bronco/Seahawks colors on the Empire State Bldg., spent a day at Eataly, and of course had a wonderful time at the Taste of the NFL. The event was great, another year of wonderful food, drinks and all for a great cause. Got the chance to talk to Ted Allen from Chopped and Adam Richman of Man vs Food. Carlos Bakery made an amazing cake, it was fun to meet the "Cake Boss" crew. The best part about all this was that we got to spent wonderful family time with our girls who, along with their significant others spent the weekend with us! I loved it!
A couple food places that stand out are...Pork Slope in Brooklyn, a fun little bar/restaurant that would be a great hang out place..good food, great drinks and the owners were a blast!
The Meatball Shop in an area in Brooklyn that reminds me alot of Broadripple (with cool restaurants and shops) was fun. Customers are presented with a marker and menu and then you can pick which type of meatball, which type of sauce, bread etc. it was really cool.
We also ate lunch at Eataly, which was amazing! We actually ate at the restaurant that was called "Verdura", which was all vegetarian, the food was fresh and so tasty. We are headed to the Chicago Eataly soon, so I'm interested in comparing notes.
A quick note regarding Nicole-Taylor's...beginning on Tuesday Feb 18th we will start offering
Pasta - "to go". We will have a menu for pasta/sauce dishes that are available, cooked, for carry-out. A good way to taste some of our pastas, and we will do the cooking for you. The menu will change monthly, so always something new! Give me a call for the Feb. menu.
I think, we are getting closer to spring. The sun was shining today!!! Exciting!!
Hope you and your special someone have a wonderful Valentine's day....until next time
Rosa
