B. Smith's - Restaurant Row

So just to give you guys a little background info; no matter what restaurant we're in or how amazing their food is, he will not order anything other than Eggs Benedict. So all of these pics are just of my plates. I am the adventurous one. 

Now I'm from the south, and I love my southern food. So naturally, I love Ms. B. Smith's Restaurant. This lovely plate pictured below features Fried Catfish, Cheese Grits with Black Eyed Pea Gravy, Kale, Cornbread and a side of Remoulade.

Lobster Carpaccio, Pear and Gruyere Tart, and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Amazing.

The Post House - NYC Restaurant Week Find

Came here during Restaurant Week last Fall. I was excited about the promise of a $25 lunch, but after paying extra for a Lobster Roll and a nice bottle of wine, it came out to about $130 for two people. This Upper East Side gem is definitely not cheap, but the food is well worth it!

Not pictured below were our appetizers, which were salmon tartar and melon and goat cheese pops. It was amazing! This place is primarily steak, but they have lots of great seafood and side dishes. The decor is very masculine, and they have a well stocked bar. So if you're looking for a place to get your Don Draper on, this would be it.

We went with Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for dessert. I would seriously go back to this place for the dessert alone. 

Pounds and Ounces - Best Brunch Ever!!!!!

So, I took a trip to Pounds and Ounces after seeing a deal for them on Gilt City. The deal sold out before I could buy one, but I figured if the place was that popular, it was definitely worth trying!

I came here with my boyfriend, another couple, and their son. After getting everybody coordinated in Chelsea, we were almost 40 minutes late for our reservation. Even though this place was packed, they were still able to get us a table for 5 without too much difficulty. 

Their specialty here is their unique "Benedicts." I opted for the chicken and buttermilk waffles, the BF got smoked salmon on potato pancakes. They were AMAZING. The chicken comes with a BBQ Hollandaise sauce unlike anything I've ever tasted. The salmon comes with the most perfect latkes ever. 

Another plus is their 33 oz cocktails, and they are much better libations than your average watered down Mimosas. The Cucumber Basil Lemonade is my fave - and at $22 for a shareable carafe, the pricing really isn't that bad.

 My friend went for the Red Velvet pancakes. Unfortunately the were a little too warm for the orange Mascarpone cream and the Gran Marnier syrup, but still very rich and delicious!

I've got some catching up to do....

Well, I've got a good two years of going out in NYC without posting any of this, so today is going to be a busy day! Once I get caught up on all my past pics, I'll try to be a little more regular with my updates. Enjoy!
