Good morning, all! I think the pollen has finally landed in NYC. My eyeballs are itching this morning, and I may have to buy some of dear friend BK's allergy tonics.
Another food day after Easter and Passover dinner discussions? Well, let me think here for a moment:
1. French: there was a great restaurant in Cincinnati, Maisonette, and I remember wonderful crepes filled with seafood and a light, creamy sauce. Tres wunderbar! I had a nice lunch at a French restaurant on the cxorner of 9th Ave and 46th Street with Louis Botto, editor of PLAYBILL, and press agent Robert Ullman, but I remember more about their stories of Merman and others than the lunch.
2. There used to be a Thai restaurant on Broadway in the high 90s, and they served wonderful Pad Thai with lots of shrimp and noodles in a great spicy blend, but I really have no idea of what else made up the dish.
3. Indian: there are so many excellent restaurants in the East Village, not very costly, and the portions and menus are quite generous with a variety of items. I couldn't tell you the name of nearly anything on the menu, but the breads, condiments, and a cucumber-yogurt dish are really tasty. I usually end up with some form of shrimp curry.
