NYC2011: What didn't we eat?

The thing about New York is, it's the entire world in one city. On any given day and at almost any given moment you can order German, Koren or Hawaiian Fast Food. Any craving can be satisfied and culinary inquiry can be address. During our trip we ate...a lot. Here is a video of a few places that tickled the taste buds.

Dogmatic
It was featured on the Food Network. The decor was industrial; very simple. Reminded me of Chipole. Pretty neat place.

Pommes Frites
I read about it on a food blog. Small, but how much room do you need to enjoy a french fry?

Lime Jungle
Spotted it coming back from the travel show.

Emporio
It had the best atmosphere of all. Very busy, but very intimate.

Little Cupcake Bakeshop (Prince Street)
All the pink just jumped about at me from the darkness. The staff was friendly. I hate that I didn't get a cupcake. They were out of Pink Shirts and don't sell the online.

When I read she was going to be at the travel show, it was all I could talk about. Sunday morning, I cut brunch short with my family flew from Harlem to the Jacob Javits Center and with 2 mins to spare settled into a seat to hear my travel icon. I always knew I wanted to travel, but the various Samantha Brown series inspired me to create my own travel style.


Here are a few quotes from her presentation that sparked some type of resonance within:
