Perhaps you recognize this gentleman. He runs the Halal falafel truck (last time I found him at 49th and 6th.) He serves the best felafel on the planet. When time is of the essence and you want to throw caution to the wind, he's the man to see for fabulous felafel on pita with an amazing sauce.... a great combo of grease and carbs!
Here is a more well balanced offering from the truck. I'm sure it is delicious, but I've always gone for the felafel on pita... indescribable.
So much for the ridiculous, now let's talk about the sublime, lunch at Jean Georges in the Trump Hotel at 1 Central Park West, a real splurge and well worth it. I can never decide which is the best, the ambience, the service or the food.
OK, so it is a far cry (and a short walk) from the falafel truck, but have you ever seen such gorgeous food? There are actually two restaurants there. This trip I am having lunch at the less formal restaurant called Nougatine. I will let you know how it goes. Really looking forward to it!
I bet you are wondering what I do on my walk from the felafel truck to Jean Georges! Like any good jewelry designer, I am checking out the street scene. Here is a great pic I found on a blog. It was taken during the last NY fashion week. Don't you just love her necklace!
Here is another photo from NY fashion week. Love, love, love her charm necklace paired with a NY shirt and denim jacket, so very street smart.
I promise to take pictures of my actual trip, the good the bad and the ugly. It will be a 48 hour whirlwind to tell you about. Stay tuned.
