Midwinter Kitchen: Farm to Table

Image
Located in Gramercy, Midwinter Kitchen is a restaurant that brings food grown on their 92-acre farm in Ancram, New York to our mouths. Full Yelp review  Arrived with 2 friends on a Saturday for some brunch. We were told the wait was about 40 minutes, but thankfully we were seated not too long after. Coffee and tea could be ordered while you wait in the meantime. I ordered the Cod Benedict ($20) while my friends had the Steak and Eggs ($20) and one of their omelet specials ($16).  The cod cakes were not filled with too much breading, along with being nice and golden, yet also tender. It was nicely seasoned, yet you still taste the cod in each bite. The touch of cayenne (I think?) gave it a little kick. The hollandaise sauce was also on the lighter side which was a nice touch because the yolks of the poached eggs already adds richness to the dish. The potatoes were nicely roasted, with a added crunch on some of the more golden sides. As for the salad, although nothing too...

Takahachi Bakery: Spicy Salmon Avocado Sandwich

Image
Sometimes when I am in Tribeca and am feeling hungry, I always struggle to find a place to eat. But if I really can't find something I want, I always end up going to the Takahachi Bakery. It's a Japanese bakery that has fresh made breads, sandwiches, sweets and cakes. Whenever I feel like grabbing a light lunch or something sweet, it is always my go-to spot. (Because I get super indecisive!) On days when I want a light sandwich, I tend to go for the spicy salmon avocado, which is not the cheapest, ($7.95) but I try not to go too often. The bread used for the sandwich is their house-made black sesame bread. (They also make other types of bread daily.) The only downside of it is that you don't taste the black sesame when combined. The bread also gets a little moist, but that is because it sits in their open refrigerator after being made. As for the salmon, it was very smooth and creamy, but lacking some salt and spiciness since it was a "spicy" salmon avocado sand...

Chalait: Green Tea Latte

Image
FINALLY! My first entry on food. I was debating on what should be my first one and there was one place that kept popping into my mind. CHALAIT. It seemed like a very raved about place when I was scrolling through Instagram, so one day I decided to stop by hoping it was as good as it seemed. When we finally got there, it was PACKED with people, so we had no hopes of getting any seats. The space itself was somewhat small with some tables by the window and some seats around the counter. Being that the space is somewhat small, it can get crowded easily. I also noticed it can get a bit noisy, so if you want a more spacious setting for intimate/private conversations, this might not be the best place for it. So with that said, we decided to just grab our drinks to go. I got a chance to look at the menu and noticed they had quite a few options for green tea drinks. (Other than drinks, they do have some food options, along with some baked goods.) Being someone that really enjoys gre...
