Adorable three floored, revamped carriage house in Gramercy! Classic interior; floor to ceiling windows; great service; and two must try plates off the menu.

All the way in Chelsea is where some great but hidden restaurants are located. Tia Pol is not one of them. It’s not the best that I’ve had and it is way over hyped by reviewers on the web.

I went to dinner with my possibly new #1 eating partner. It was at Boka, the restaurant version of Bon Chon (the chicken wing place). We ordered incredible amounts of food and for the first time, I wasn’t the one doing the damage on ordering excessively! In addition, we went to Luke’s Lobster for a snack right before dinner when we were on the way to the restaurant. Again, her idea! As a result, I am considering placing this eating partner on the top of my list. (Maybe not #1 but definitely have room for competition) I adore you for being so awesome! (yes, a cheesy shoutout) BTW- that lobster roll was TASTY AS HELL. I plan on going back to try the crab and shrimp roll and the empress crab claws. Read their story in the link above; they bring the lobster back from Maine. You get 4 ounces of lobster meat from 5 or 6 lobster claws. YUmmMmmm!

The leftovers that came home with me.

We also had watermelon soju at Boka so this doesn’t seem bad for breakfast food. The presentation was really cool. It was a whole baby watermelon filled with soju.

Seafood in Manhattan that’s not corporate account like expense?!?!?! CHECK. I never thought in a million years that would exist but I found it! Fresh, delicious, AND affordable. I felt like the king of the world ordering unlimited amounts of oysters, fish, scallops, and clams.
