My partner, whose teeth are in worse shape than mine…now has a small paper in his wallet with instructions to bring back (this week) two loaves of “Borodinsky bread with cumin” plus two containers of labne…It’s convenient to have a partner/friend who is willing to make shopping forays after dentist visits!! Thankfully, dentist moved from UES to Washington Park west…because there seems to be no end in sight before these visits end…
Ziggy, that NW corner of the park is a world unto itself…interesting corner of NYC although not one where I’d want to dig into my container of chicken plov…
My partner cannot carry much on the train so until my next appt I am limited to what he is able to cart home for me…the labne and the bread…I’m right now lusting after one (or three) of the savory pastries…but for the newcomers, it’s seems a bit confusing…or for “my” newcomer in any case…
So happy this opened in Manhattan…although in the fall I think a trip to BB is in order… Is that Tone Bakery still around, on Neptune?
So many Spaniards have told me (including owners of restaurants) that you can judge the quality of the restaurant y the quality of their ensaladilla…you have not had one until you go to Valencia and try the bruleed ensaladilla by
Ensaladilla rusa caramelizada at LLISA NEGRA. the "commoners’ outpost by Quique Dacosta… see post from 4/12:
Also the one at BAR CENTRAL by Ricardo Camarena in the same city.
