Eatus Non Interruptus

I>


Eatus Non Interruptus

Any visit to NYC is punctuated with an orgy of eating. The plethora of food choices is not surpassed as far as I know by any other city in the world. The choices range from small little stores to full blown restaurants with a variety of décor and non décor. I have awarded a certain amount of pigs to each restaurant as a rating; I have also added a certain amount of winged dollars which represent cost.



JOYA




One of the best eating orgies so far has been a small Thai restaurant called Joya. I Joya is located in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill section Perhaps it would best be called a thigh restaurant as I left I swear my thighs were beginning to rub together as I waddled toward the door . This restaurant was truly a joya. I ordered one of the daily specials which was a chicken with asparagus in a coconut curry sauce served over a broad "drunken" noodle. Speaking of drunken the wine, which was decent was a Pinot Grigio. It was served as a full goblet not a mean little bit of droplets. The restaurant is located at 215 Court Street in Brooklyn. It does not take credit cards but the prices are quite reasonable. The décor is trendy and it is filled with the young and the hip. It has a backyard dining area with trees that grow in Brooklyn which add a rather abstract quality and a certain amount of intimacy to the dining experience.



Peter Luger's House of Gluttony



Peter Luger’s in Brooklyn is one of the primer Steakhouses in the world. It serves porterhouse steak which are intensely marbled and dripping with flavor. The ambiance is steakhouse; the waiters are amiable and jocular; the service is good; the prices are very high as is the cholesterol content of all. The URL for the E-menu follows. There are no prices noted on the E-menu. A baked potato is $5.00. The spinach for two is $11.00. They take cash and the Peter Luger credit card.

Ki Sushi




Ki is a wonderful restaurant in Cobble Hill..
Are we starting to get the picture that
Manhattan is not the be all and end all of eateries???? In fact some of the better restaurants are not in the BIG Island and that tunnel people just may be getting the advantage????

Ki is located in Cobble Hill on
Smith Street, see: ki.sushi.com. It is the some of the best sushi I've ever had .The setting is minimalist and elegant; the service is friendly and competent; The food is excellent and fresh!

For a special luncheon choose the Chirashi Lunch at $12.00 this is quite a deal.
