I don’t know about you, but Mondays tend to get me down. It’s the start of the work week, it’s the end of the weekend… all the more reason to be indulgent! There is a wine bar down the block from my old apartment in the lower east side called Jadis. On Mondays they do half off on bottles of wine. So you can go and get that $80 fantasy bottle for $40 (which yes in theory is not saving you money…but it feels thrifty in the moment). My two favorite deals to indulge in are the Chateauneuf du Pape or the organic Priorat from Spain. Both delicious reds, made even more delicious by the fact that Monday is now something to look forward to! (Plus there’s cheese and stuff.)
Another one of those things about things...
In the interest of making my current period of unemployment as productive as can be, I am going to start a blog cataloguing one delicious food item in New York a day. After years and years of navigating the bountiful selection in this city, my mind is chock-full of ideas. And if I start to run out of them…well then it will be a reminder that I am not doing my duty as a food-lover, and am failing to eat out often enough in this amazing place (Although I can almost guarantee you that won’t happen).
OK Brit...you are cool like your sister...I will be following your blog here and will use it as my eating guide when I return to NYC in January...
ReplyDeleteThis blog sounds like a tour of my life last year.
