One of the people I follow on Twitter had recently tweeted about a restaurant in New York that she insisted should be on everyone's "to-do" list. So I booked us in.
Pearl and Ash, in The Bowery. Look it up on the internet and take a look at its decor. Really foxy.
No blow by blow account - and certainly no photos of our dinner - why do people do that?? Truth is the menu contained ingredients that we had never heard of. I felt a bit of a numpty if I'm honest. This place was different. Very, very different. For a start they actually encourage you to have very small amounts. Means you can try more dishes. We did a few.
It's a waste of time telling you what we ate - we weren't sure ourselves. But the food was exquisite. Easily Michelin star standard. With Michelin star prices too - but we counted it as a holiday treat. Because we're worth it!
Not done much today - our last full day in New York. Walked across Brooklyn Bridge and back. We had been told the Manhattan skyline looked impressive from there. We were told right, too.
Liked it so much we went back again at dusk. Not obvious from the photos - our camera seems to be afraid of the dark and made the sky in each picture look much brighter than it actually was. Super, super sight to see, no doubt about that.
Up at three in the morning for a ride to JFK and flight back home. We both feel we've enjoyed New York - plus Pennsylvania - a lot, but - it really is time we got back home, stopped living out of suitcases and, most importantly, got our two little dogs out of the kennels. Two little girls we've missed a lot.
I'll finish up when I'm back with some final thoughts about the trip. Until then . . .
Like the pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. It almost sounds that you were as keen to get home as Lesley and I after our trip in the US of A.
