Many adventures have transpired since my last posting. The Spud has started school in NYC. Little Heartbeat is now talking and playing and riding the subway like a pro. And we have been joined by Baby Maraca, a son only three months old today.
Today after a lovely morning taking the kids to the Winter Garden to see Canstruction, an art display of canned food to raise money and awareness for City Harvest, Kitty picked up the kids from her haircut and kid-free time and Baby Maraca and I went off in search of a food adventure.
Walking east on Bleeker, checked out a couple of random sites in the Village that I had not seen in years. It is amazing how so much changes yet there are so many landmarks that remain. Stories surrounded me as I walked in the warm autumn sun.
There are so many "next big things" that hope to dethrone the cupcake as
the pastry du jour of the city. I still haven't had a cronut...
A musical friend had advised me of a new delicious treat that is getting notorious in New York. Lard Bread. Baby Maraca and I found our way to Parisi Bakery and tried it out. It is a chewy bread with plenty of moisture inside. It almost was as buttery as a croissant but studded with small pieces of spicy ham.
It was plenty big, so I brought the balance home. The Spud raved about it. Little Heartbeat was not as into it.
But don't worry about Kitty. I grabbed her a sandwich from Banh Mi Saigon... Curried Mock Chicken. We all eat well here.
