A few great eats in NYC

Check out my cozy and quaint picks for a nice date or small family outing in NYC.

 

First on my list is a trendy little spot called Peter’s Since 1969.  Peter’s is located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at 168 Bedford Avenue.  It’s pretty easy to get to.  Just take the L train to Williamsburg and get off of the very first stop, which is Bedford avenue, and you’re literally seconds away once you exit the station.

 

 

With its southern style fixin’ Peter’s is perfect for a dinner date, small gathering of four, or just solo.  Their specialty is French rotisserie chicken, which comes with 2 complimentary sides, and a slice of focaccia bread.  I’ve been quite the groupie at Peter’s lately.  My usual dish is the ½ Rotisserie Chicken, sautéed spinach, and macaroni and cheese.  Now, if you’re vegetarian, don’t fret, Peter’s accommodates vegetarians as well with their Veggie Meal.  The Veggie Meal consists of three side dishes.  Did I mention the huge selection of vegetarian choices…up to 9 options! 

 

The thing I really love is that everything is prepared in these huge red crockpots right before your eyes.  If you’re trying to trim down the waistline, don’t let the southern style cooking scare you.  The food is not overly seasoned, and everything is baked, broiled, boiled, or grilled.  It’s a healthier version of southern cooking.  And don’t worry about proportions the pricing because you’re given an ample amount of proportions for such a cheap price, an estimated bill for one ranges between $9-$12.  Yes…this dining experience will save you lots of money, which is good around the Holidays.

 

Of course there’s more to know about Peter’s however, I want you to experience it for yourself.  So stop on by Peter’s and let me know how much you loved it.

Sushi and Mojitos

Heading to Radio City music hall for a concert we wanted an inexpensive restaurant that would provide a relaxing environment at the end of a long workday. Located on 49th between 6th and 7th Avenues is a small Japanese restaurant that met the bill.

Iroha offers friendly service, fun cocktails and great customer service. It was a cold night and our group was seated at a table near the door. we were greeted with warm towels to wipe our hands shortly after sitting down a nice welcoming feature of our choice.

We decided to start with cocktails and the Shiso Mojito has made my Perfect Mojito list. It is made of Japanese shochu liquor, citrus rum, fresh shiso mint leaves and lime. It was refreshing and delicious. It was so great I had two! We also had a Peach Lemonade sour (peach juice, lemondae, and Japanese shochu liquor. It is not as good as the Mojito but still tasty.

The food was also great and we tried the Salmon steak box, Tebasaki Kawari Age (which are crispy chicken wings with garlic flavored soy sauce and sesame seeds) Udon white wheat noodle soup with mountain of vegetables and rolls from the sushi bar.

It was all great and we loved the experience. A great choice for a meal near Radio City or just a night out in NYC.
