Hot Hot Not

When it's hot like this (100 degrees in NYC), you definitely want to stay away from the super hot foods.

I ordered in with Mission Impossible... from Eva's ... and now I'm so full that I just want to sleep.

We both got the Falafel Special, which just includes the falafel sandwich, a 16 oz beverage and your choice of fries, brown rice, or soup. The fries are bleh and the homemade ice tea is bleh. The sandwich is good... but I hate when places use the cheap pita bread that falls apart too easily.

I love the hot sauce and tahini. But my sandwich is hardly a sandwich with that pathetic pita.

A side of some decent hummus.


YUUUUUUUUUM
Total = $20 split two ways including the tip.

Too full to continue,

Nothing like a Lunch Picnic

I was fortunate to be born with the ability to spell. Thanks, Mom (the english professor). So second place in a spelling bee fundraiser isn't half bad.

My prize: chhheeeessseee! (screw you lactose intolerance)

Not just any cheese, though. It's from MURRAYS. The one on Bleeker. Definitely can get to within the hour if you're by the ABCDEFV. Or there's two locations near Grand Central Terminal.

The box was filled with three different meats, two kinds of salami and prosciutto. An apple spread, raw cherry honey (YUUUUUUUUM), and 5 different cheeses.

YUUUUUUUUUUM

So with the nice weather, hopefully re-approaching... it's about time for a picnic in our nearby park!

P.S - its not cheap, but worth the splurge, just once.

You'll find me under the oak tree,

How to impress a boy? Just do what he likes.

Sorry fellow lunchlady Olivia, I had to ditch you today for a cute lunch date. My gallant partner was missed on the homage to the West Village in our unrelenting search of a humble meal. But, I made it back to the office within mere seconds of an hour; returning just in time to report back from the new found land...

Want to impress the boy you have your eye on by taking him to a delicious place he has already been to 13 times within the last 4 weeks?! Ugh, failure.

Psych (naw)! Well if he has been there so many times, it must mean he likes it. You definitely don't want to bother with indecision when you're on a lunch time crunch, and you DEFINITELY don't want to risk a boys lunch happiness. So stop while you're ahead, go somewhere nearby and have a delicious taim (time).

Go to TAIM!!!!!!! YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

Voila, their menu. Everything, and I mean everything, is worth the dime. I had the Sabich Sandwich which is fried eggplant, egg, covered with hummus, israeli salad, tahini and amba sauce. I honestly could go without the egg in there, not big on eggs really. Ate that Sabich (haha) with a Ginger Mint Lemonade  the beau had THE CLASSIC FALAFEL! Total for 2= $ 15.25. 

And don't mind if I do, but I am going out on a NY limb and claiming this as the BEST FALAFEL IN NYC.

To unexpected dates and yummy plates!
