i'm in new york visiting becky for a day before we both go to connecticut for my grandma's 90th birthday party (more on that later). becky has THE CUTEST new apartment that is probably three times the size of her old apartment, but that is neither here nor there for this post. last night beck and i went to shake shack for dinner, and if you are ever in new york you must make shake shack a stop on your culinary tour of this city. their website is here: http://www.shakeshacknyc.com/ their vegetarian burger is a cheese stuffed portobello mushroom, which is then deep fried (so the cheese is all melty and oozy when you bite into it) and put on a bun with lettuce and tomato. i have never had a veggie burger like this before, and it is heaven. there are several shake shack locations in new york, and the last time i visited we went to one that was an actual shack (sort of) in madison square park - you waited in a realllllly long (but worth it) line, ordered at a window, and ate outside. the shake shack we went to last night was more like a restaurant, with indoor seating and the like...and because we ate a little later (8pm-ish), there was virtually no line. oh, it was delicious.
becky is at work (she teaches 4th grade in the new york public schools), and i have been given step by step directions of how to take the subway to her school so i can have lunch with her and meet her kids. i will be taking the 6 train at one point, much like jenny from the block (aka j-lo). (please don't be fooled by the rocks that i've got.)
I think my favorite part of your blog entries is when you describe the delicious things you have eaten - it is almost enough to make me become a vegetarian! That fried, oozy-cheese mushroom sounds yummy.
