"EatFest" 2011

I just spent thanksgiving weekend in New York with Ben's family, and was able to take part in a unique family tradition. A few years ago on, Ben and his brothers toured NYC looking for all the most delicious food spots. They dubbed this adventure "EatFest" and have carried on the tradition ever since. This year Ben's sister, Molly,  and I were able to join, and let's just say we had a very "full" day. Did I mention this was a watered down version of previous EatFests?

Here is the breakdown of our little foodie adventure:

Carnegie Deli- 854 7th Avenue

We began by eating breakfast at this famous New York Deli. I have never seen such big pastrami sandwiches in my life!! We ordered bagels and pastrami egg omelettes.

Grey's Papaya-402 Sixth Avenue at 8th Street 

This is a famous hot dog restaurant that actual sells delicious smoothies (where the name papaya came from). I was a little underwhelmed by the hot dog, but still glad I tried it!

Pommes Frites-123 2nd Ave.

This was my favorite stop! This tiny restaurants specializes in Belgium french fries. The fries come in little cardboard cones, and the tables have little holes in them to hold the cones. You can choose from over 25 tasty sauces for your fries too!!

Momofuku Milk Bar-15 w 56th st.

Momofuku means 'lucky peach' and is also the name of the many restaurants owned by famous chef David Chang. Momofuku Milk Bar is his dessert hub. It ended up being more like a cafe, and we were able to pick up corn flake chocolate chip cookies, among many others. Yum!
