Food I Miss
Today was one of those amazing “I-love-traveling-remember-everything-you’re-doing-right-now” days. They aren’t all like this, but today was nice.
I love the rugged hills surrounding Taganga’s disgusting beaches and the way everyone in Taganga just quietly, lazily chills, all, freaking, day.
But there is one nagging thing that, as I ate my 50th watery papaya of the week, I couldn’t ignore. I miss my favorite foods from New York. I miss them baaaaaaad.
So when I get back, I’m going to work my way, gluttonously, through this food lust list:
Iced coffee
Everything bagels with cream cheese and lox
Long Tan green seafood curry
Sushi feast including spicy salmon with extra spicy mayo and fried tofu
Mac and cheese from the box (whatever)
Pizza from Artichoke
Drunk pizza from Joe’s or Pizzatown
ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES from the deli downstairs
Chicken Tikka Masala and samosas from Kinara
Five for a dollar dumplings from Chinatown
Soup dumplings
Cheetos that don’t taste like B.O.
Papa Johns garlic butter (don’t judge)
Vegan Philly cheese steak from V-Spot
Burritos from Clemen’s
BARK DOGS BACON EGG & CHEESE SANDY
Smoke Joint and Char No. 4
All other BBQ
Chicken and waffles from Buttermilk Channel
Cafe Steinhof mussels + weinstefaner + charcuterie plate
Brunch from Bellville
Brunch from, fuck it, ANYWHERE
Six Point in a big awesome pint glass
Dogfish head 90 minute IPA in a small awesome glass
Brooklyn Lager
Bloody Marys
DELI PICKLES
Corned beef from Katz’s
Skim Lattes from somewhere other than Gorilla (are we still not going there?)
Burgers from Alchemy
Midtown lunch salads
Cocktails (any) from Quarter
and Fried Chicken from Sidecar.
…
WHO’S WITH ME!?!?
