Back in Town

Last weekend my family came to visit! I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was great having them in the big apple for a few days. We did a little sight seeing, walked around the city, and of course we ate ALOT! Here are some of the places we visited to get our nom on:

1) The Bar Downstairs (at the Andaz Hotel Midtown): We unfortunately didn't have anything to eat here, but we did stop by to have a few drinks before the UK game on Saturday. The hotel is stunning and elegant, and the bar is equally as suave. I would love to come back in the future and eat something off the menu as well.

2)Village Yokocho and Angel's Share: Village Yokocho is an interesting restaurant to say the least. It's located on Stuyvesant St, and they serve Japanese cuisine. While you're sitting there drinking a Sapporo and eating sushi, there is loud 90's rap music playing over the speakers...which was pretty awesome. After having a few drinks, you walk through a small door in the corner and you are in Angel's Share, a speak easy bar. The vibe is completely different in Angel's Share; dim lighting, soft music and unique cocktails. Both joints were really cool, and I will definitely be back.

3) Momofuku Noodle Bar: One word...delicious!

4) Northern Spy: Northern Spy is a restaurant in the east village with amazing food. The best part is that they are conscious about the environment, and they source food from local purveyors. We split a cheese board and pork buns, and then I had an entree of cod, potato, and leek. I would recommend trying out Northern Spy, especially if farm to table food is of importance to you.

Here are some other pictures from the weekend:
