RaviSoups

After debating long and hard about where to go for lunch one weekend, Mike and I decided on RaviSoups, a place I had always wanted to try. RaviSoups is located within the vicinity of Burrito Boyz in the clubbing district and is right next to Khao Sand Road, both of which were huge temptations!

Barque Smokehouse

There has been a lot of hype over Barque Smokehouse lately and since Mike is a huge fan of barbeque, we made the trek over to Roncesvalles. We wanted to go for an early dinner and arrived just before they opened for dinner (at 5). Not surprisingly, there was already a crowd outside awaiting its opening. While waiting outside, we realized we probably should have called to make a reservation. This is usually my job, so I guess I dropped the ball on this one. Luckily, we were able to get a seat; although the hostess informed us this table was reserved at 7.

[NYC] Carnegie Deli

While in New York, I was staying in a hotel just a few blocks away from Carnegie Deli, so there was really no excuse for not trying their famous smoked meat. They serve up standard deli fare, including corned beef, pastrami, brisket and chopped liver. The front of the restaurant is dedicated to take-out orders, where the deli counter is. They also have some seating for those who want to eat in. Since I was by myself, I ordered this to go, opting to eat this back at the hotel.

The Gabardine

I finally made my way to the Gabardine, after having this near the top of my list for a while since it first opened! I made a reservation for four on a Friday evening and it turned out we didn’t really need one as it wasn’t very busy. I tried dropping by for lunch a couple weeks ago only to end up elsewhere since there was a huge line (they don’t take reservations for lunch).

[NYC] Momofuku Noodle Bar

Shortly after reading that David Chang planned on opening two Momofuku restaurants in Toronto, I was sent off to New York for work. I was really curious about all the hype around the Momofuku restaurants, so my co-worker and I made a trip out to the Momofuku Noodle Bar, located in the East Village.
