Lunching in Florida
by TT on October 18th, 2011 | Restaurant Reviews, Uncategorized
A few weeks ago, I had the good fortune of spending a few days with my parents. While we did spend every evening together, during the day we typically did things in pairs. Most of those days my mom and I spent time together, touring the area, browsing in shops, and stopping for a bite to eat. Out of our three different dining locations, two were excellent choices, and one was mediocre, at best. Of course, the important part of this trip wasn't the food, it was spending time with my parents. However, as I found a few great
Sorella, New York, NY

In August, my husband and I were able to plan a business/pleasure trip to NYC. After two days of meetings, we had a day and a half to enjoy the sights and tastes of Manhattan. We spent our last evening there roaming the Lower East Side, a section which we had not explored together previously. After a cocktail at a bar, we had a great first meal at The Meatball Shop. From there we walked the third of a mile to our second dining experience of the evening, Sorella.

Pravda, New York, NY

As noted on their website, "Pravda is an underground caviar bar." In addition, this Russian-themed bar also has a wide variety of Russian foods and an enormous vodka list. While a bar might seem to make a better review for our beverage publication, Parched No More, with me in attendance, there is a focus on food. Although I enjoy a martini or two, it always needs to be accompanied by food. Let's just say I'm a lightweight, and keep it at that.
We arrived at Pravda at 9:00 on a warm Saturday night. While this is early to start

The Meatball Shop, New York, NY

Have I mentioned that I love when travel, be it business or pleasure, brings me to Manhattan? It really is an amazing place to be. Earlier this month, I spent a few days there on business. With perfectly aligned schedules, my husband was able to schedule his work travel to match mine, which meant that our evenings could be spent trying new restaurants.
This trip stretched into the weekend, which allowed for even more time to explore different neighborhoods. After a multi-hour, 120 block walk during the midday, I found myself watching PBS in the late afternoon on Saturday. What

The National, New York, NY

My husband travels more for business travel than I do. While I understand that the days are long and lonely, some of the benefits, such as dining at great restaurants, make me a little envious. For most of the last year, when he would travel to Manhattan, he would be situated somewhere in Midtown and managed to start his days with breakfast at The National. When our business travel schedules were able to align this past June, I was eager to try breakfast here, as he had raved about short rib hash and other amazing options.
