• Al Fresco dining was the theme this Memorial Day weekend thanks to the gorgeous gorgeous weather.

  
  

  Fri - Wolfgang's Steakhouse: porterhouse steak, cottage fries, creamed spinach, lobster cocktail, canadian bacon, red wine. Madagascar 

  
  

  Sat - Chelsea Market: This place is amazing!  It's right on par with Wholefoods, Stew Leonards and Wegmans. Who wants to come back with me and help me buy one thing from each store and attend a food tv show taping? Things i tried this time: Lobster Place Lobster roll, Buonitalia Italian chicken parm sandwich, Chelsea Thai ice tea, Fatwitch brownies, Elenis cookies. Markt: mussels in cream sauce, beef stew, Belgian ale. It's a great place to have brunch with 4-6 friends. Forbidden City: martinis

  
  

  Sun - Fatburger: baby fatburger with chili, chili cheese fries, onion rings. It was nice to catch up with friends by the Newport waterfront. Cranium

  
  

  Mon - After walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, it was already near 2pm and there was a very long line outside Grimaldi's Pizzeria.  I was starved.  However, the line went quickly and soon we were feasting on the famous Grimaldi's pizza topped with fresh red peppers, mozzarella and sausage.  It was soooo good.  The pizza was so filling that i was thankful for another long line outside of Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.  Naturally, I had my favorite: Peaches and Cream.  The Chocolate Chocolate Chunk was yummy too.  Luckily the New York Water Taxi was right there to take us the shortest distance back to Manhattan and South Street Seaport.
