Five Foodie Finds for Friday :: NYC.

Five foodie finds for Friday March 25 2016 (c)nwafoodie

 

Hi there.

If you stumbled upon my instagram or facebook feed last week, you would have quickly surmised, “hey Lyndi, you aren’t in (Ar)kansas anymore.” The hustle and bustle of NYC is in stark contrast to the quiet valleys and hills of the Ozarks back home and our I-wanna-be-like-a-big-city-but-we-aren’t rush hour on Hwy 49. Before I settle back to home sweet home, I want to share a few treasures from the Big Apple that are right at our fingertips. No cab fare needed.

1.

Brooklynese Cawffee tray. Every trip to the city is worth a quick five-minute browse in the Fish Eddy store located within a few blocks of the flatiron building. This jumbled storefront is full of whimsy and one-of-a-kind vintage NYC restaurant serve ware. This cawffee tray comes out whenever guests arrive at my doorsteps and the coffeepot goes on the stove.

 

2.

Albergian fig jam. Speaking of the flatiron district, no tourist should go without visiting Eataly, the large block-wide building filled with fish, pasta, gelato, espresso, produce, meats, books, and accessories with an emphasis on all things Italy. Also, throw in a half dozen restaurants and you can spend hours here. Dennis and I make it our first stop in the city to stock up on bottled waters and goodies for the room, such as this delicious fig jam and fruits. Ends up being much cheaper (and healthier!) than eating out constantly.

3.

Teak stirrer set. Keeping it within the neighborhood, one of my favorite places to pop in for a meal is the ABC Kitchen restaurant at ABC Home, virtually across the street from Fish Eddys and blocks away from Eataly. While waiting for a seat to open up at the restaurant, go downstairs to check out the artisan kitchen goodies and handmade treats that make a house a home. While most of the time my checkbook tells me to keep browsing and skip the hefty price tags, this time I splurged on these little teak coffee stirrers. A perfect addition to that cawffee tray.

4.

Small 7-inch tongs. Priced at just $1.50 each, these little tongs are one of my favorite discoveries in the city! I buy them for friends and family and I keep a handful in my kitchen drawer. Tiny, yet still a powerhouse. Snagged from J.B. Prince, located on the 6th floor of non-interesting building in Murray Hill with a non-descript lobby ithat houses only an elevator and that sinking feeling that you may be entering a super-scary place when DING! The elevator opens and viola, and bright and beautiful showroom full of goodies. This is where the chefs go.

5.

Dozen bagels. New York City isn’t New York City without bagels. Now you can have them delivered to your door from the oldest still-standing appetizing store (since 1914) in Manhattan. Want the authentic cream cheese and lox, too? Yeah, they gottem.

Happy (virtual) Big Apple shopping.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.
Lyndi

    If I ever visit New York, I'm having those bagels delivered – so then I can be like, "Boys, your breakfast is at the door."

    I'm so ready for a trip to NYC! It's always an adventure, isn't it? I think Eunamae's has spoons similar to your stirrers only they are tasting spoons. Are yours smaller? And those bagels….well, of course! Do you think Carnegie Deli would ship one of their corned beef sandwiches cause I'm really hungry right now:)

Once a month they do a drop in my neighborhood and I always look forward to the bounty of foods and household goods. My order may be small but I love joining in with everyone else to unload the truck! You may have a drop in your neighborhood. If you’re curious, I can tell you more!

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?
The feeling after you ate too much. The feeling after you ate too much.
Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. ⁠
⁠
Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠
⁠

Ad. Quick – what is the first food that comes to Ad. Quick – what is the first food that comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving dinner?⁠
⁠
Turkey?⁠
⁠
Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠
⁠
The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
