We know that prices in New York is high and eating in the Big Apple could be expensive. But if you know where to go, eating out in NY can be reasonable.
Walking down from Columbus to 53 street, we passed by many great restaurants.
We went to Luigi`s Gourrmet Grill ( 936 8th Ave, between 55 & 56 Streets), a small Italian restaurant that served pretty good food for an affordable price.
I ordered Eggplant Parmigiana and my husband had Grilled Chicken Panini with cheese and roasted read peppers - both dishes came with a good size crisp garden salad that whet our appetite.
The size of both entrees was huge!
I always find that the portions in restaurant meals are very generous in the States compared to Canada.
This was our second lunch in New York City and both times, we could hardly finish our meals. This delicious Italian hot lunch cost under $30.00. An affordable and yummy meal indeed!
Unless we are starving, next time, we need to remember to order one dish and share among the two of us.
After lunch, we went to Er's office and visited him in Manhattan. It was located on the sixth floor in a beautiful building. We had to sign in with the concierge and took an elevator to the sixth floor. There were two young women standing beside us also waiting for the elevator. We got in the same elevator and one of the girls started talking about work and office politics. I wondered if these young women were working in Er's office. Lo and behold, the elevator door stopped on the sixth floor and we all got off on the same floor! Those two were Er's colleagues!!!
That was the reason we should not talk about private business in public places. You never know who are standing beside you and listening to your conversation.
Since Er. would be leaving his current job and moving on to the west coast, we brought a box of chocolate to share with his colleagues. Er kind of talked about his colleagues and the interns working there. It was nice meeting them and put names to their faces.
It was raining cats and dogs when we left Er.'s office but we did manage to visit the Bible Museum , bought some plastic storage boxes at Bed Bath and Beyond.
I even managed to make a tasty dinner from all the leftover chicken we had from our dining out meals from the past two days! I made a spring salad with goat cheese, chicken with mixed vegetables (mushroom, onion and cherry tomatoes) and green curry chicken with potatoes.
Er. loved eating what I cooked and it was worth the effort spent in that hot kitchen!!
