What can I write about New York that hasn't been written yet... Nothing, really. New York is huge and frenetic -- bigger and faster than any other place I've been before. Without precious advice from adorable dear friends, I would have been lost but thanks to them manage to get a little taste of the city. Many thanks guys, you saved our... stomachs!! ;-) 'Cause I really wouldn't want to bother you with the same old about NY, I've decided to enumerate 10 food related things to love about Madame Vertigo. I'm fully aware the sky is not eatable, at least not literally. New York skies just seemed the perfect way to start, and in between chewing the sky was the 11th thing on the list.
So here we go! 10 photos, 10 things, no special order.
Bread - Whole Wheat, Sourdough, French bread. Organic. Just ask.
Tap water - Yes, no mistake. New York's tap water is something to cheer and love. Actually, it's something to drink to! Super.
Bakeries - I could live from bread alone. If a latte, a macchiato or a cappuccino can be added then I'm in heaven. And, of course, I won't say no to something on the sweet side. New York bakeries are awesome, and mind me I know a little about bakeries.
Muffins - I'm not the cupcake kind of girl, I'm more a muffin chick. Not that I can have a NY full-sized one by myself -- that's what makes Mr. Taster (aka The Husband) so handy, besides other things!! This is a Zucchini, Carrot, Walnut muffin. Perfect.
Pancakes - Any pancake dish that comes with fruit is a winner. How to be in New York City, and not have a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes? No way.
French Toast - With blueberries. And maple syrup. I had mine with a Beet and Apple fresh juice I won't forget soon. Or the Illy espresso that came after. Yum.
Burgers - OK, I didn't have this burger but Mr. Taster says it was pretty good. It's a burger with ratatouille and gruyere -- he actually recommends that if you're at L'École for brunch, you should try this.
Iced Tea - Not the sugary packed thing we have across Europe. Real tea 'on the rocks'. Very good.
Pizza - NY pizza. With fresh mushrooms and kalamata olives. Not disappointed.
Brunch - Breakfast was my favourite meal of the day. WAS. I'm about to change that to brunch.
Mr. Taster and I had a couple of wonderful meals, plus a gorgeous birthday lunch that I'll share later. Stay tuned.

I'm off to NYC in December and I can't wait. It is such a fabulous place and I'm sure I'll put a few pounds on while I'm there.
Glad to see you had a delicious time in NYC :) I'm drooling over that french toast with the bananas and blueberries...mmmm!
I'm envious of your trip to NY. So want to go. Never thought of food though, funny enough, so now there are more reasons to visit!
