The City Ep. 3

Where Did We Eat Today?

Today in Never Never Land we saw a total of four restaurants, one of them being one of my all time favs!! So needless to say, I am ecstatic about this post, so one with the show! (I'll save the best for last.)

Extra Virgin (259 W. 4th Street). Here we were able to see one of Jay and Whitney's first dates since she moved to the big apple. If anyone has ever been on an early date you know that things can still be a bit awkward, especially when you have doubts about your beau's thoughts on what you are and also whether or not he slept with some girl named Danielle. So think about that awkwardness, then add cameras and most of America watching your date whether your soar or crash and burn, and then never again complain that this girl gets paid money for this show, because I know I certainly wouldn't want my life on camera and if it was you better believe I want my money!! Apparently, according to some girl on the 5 train two days after New Years this place was IMPOSSIBLE to get a reservation at, but then again, she also admitted to calling at 1:00 day of...so, I don't really think that she is a reliable source. The place looks cute, and I love olive oil so I am dying to give it a chance. My dream meal would be the Pistachio Crusted Goat Cheese Salad as my app, Lemon Crusted Chilean Sea Bass as my main, all topped off with a Warm Apple Tart or The Warm Flourless Chocolate Cake. Yummmmmm!


Now on to my personal fav! The Smith (55 3rd Avenue (between 10th and 11th)) is my favorite place for brunch, but just recently I tried it out for dinner and it was just as good. Some places can only do one meal right, but The Smith is not one of these places. You need to know that I can't totally remember my first meal here because my second meal just blew the first one away. I was not a huge fan spinach, nor had I ever had a poached egg, but the waitress highly recommended the Potato Waffle after my mom and I inquired about it when someone next to us ordered it. The meal was....AMAZING to say the least. The potato waffle alone would have been great, but paired with the spinach (which I now eat as one of my only veggies) and the poached egg it was pure delight, it was almost as if the food melted in my mouth, and then had a party!! Good food if you are hungover, but don't be fooled the food is even better when completely of sober mind. For dinner I had the Hanger Steak mainly because I really wanted the Fries (which is the only part of meal number one at The Smith that I remember) and my meal was just as good as the brunch was! A "Must Go To" place!
