    A New York Birthday

    Oh New York, how I love thee, especially thy food.

    This begins a five-part mini series on some of the amazing food I enjoyed in New York City during a short trip we took there during my birthday. I won't give away all the details yet, but I can give you a hint of what is to come.  I'll be comparing two very well known bagel establishments in New York and our thoughts about them.  I will also discuss my experience at one of the top sushi restaurants in New York City and how it compared to my amazing sushi experience in Japan.  Finally, I'll share TONS of detailed photographs from incredible meals at two different 3-star Michelin restaurants.  Stay tuned!

    Today, I'd like to just share some random photos from this amazingly diverse and rich city (including a glimpse of some food shots!)
