Ahhhh...New York (Part I)

Restaurant Review: Peanut Butter and Company and Cafeteria

The sights...the sounds...the pissed off cabbies :)

So today was a blast - lunch at my favorite whole-in-the-wall, Peanut Butter and Company. I had the Elvis with bacon onwhite bread and smooth peanut butter (yes they ask) and washed it down with a REAL vanilla Coke. Yummmm.

Afterwards, we walked up 5th Ave and I bought a new purse and a new wallet from Fossil, and some kick ass sandals from Nine West. We walked over to where FAO Schwartz used to be and will be again and then cut over to W 58th to walk back to our hotel, The Hudson is very odd, and quite fabulous - I highly recommend it!

The was dinner at Cafeteria - some of the best Mac N Cheese I have had along with an amazing steak. We had a couple of odd New York girls sitting at the next table who seemed to be bored with life and they had the kitchey waitress with the cool earrings while we had a hot, but in no way straight waiter. Towards the end of the meal, our waiters switched (how odd) and we ended up with the kitchey waitress. Now this seemed bizarre, but we benefitted from it. The girls next to us wanted the chocolate cake that came with cocnut ice cream with a different kind of ice cream...simple enough request, but the waiter said no they don't do substitutions; I missed his reason. The kitchey waitress came up and we ordered the same thing (no coconut ice cream please) and she said sure, would you like vanila instead??? Ummm yes please as coconut can kill me. We left Sarah a big tip :)
