I've walked by Tarallucci e Vino Tarallucci e Vino a couple of times and always intended on trying it. I had forgotten about it and then my friend Sarah suggested it for lunch. We got a table outside where we could enjoy the New York summer and catch up on the latest about each other.
We had such a hard time deciding what to order since so many menu items were appealing to us. We're both also

Yesterday was kind of weird. My two problems were dinner and finding out that Blogspot is preventing me from publishing because they label it as SPAM! Why?! Especially it's been last September that I have been publishing. I'm hoping this won't continue to give me problems...my last hope is actually going to Typepad and get meself an account there. Ok, enough of my problems...I want to wallow myself in food. So here it goes. Starting from yesterday morning, I went back to Caffe Falai. It was about 8 AM, surprisingly there wasn't much bustle as I would imagine for a cafe or bakery spot. I had a hankering for some chocolate croissant and...

Oddity at Valentine's, Taralucci e Vino, Blackhound, and Mandoos!
It's been an odd few days. On Valentine's Day, it snowed (kind of ironic?) and I have classes. Why?! It's bad enough that it snowed and rained ice pellets that literally blows in your face since it was so windy. But still, I have to schlep my behind to the city and be in school. Grrr... Sorry...I want to vent. Well, on Valentine's Day during my lunch hour, I walked over to the Time Warner Building and went to Whole Foods for some of their soup and a salad. Oddly enough, the lines were still awfully long during the lunch hour, it looks like the snow never happened. Since those foods don't look so gloriously amazing, I'm not going to write

Tarallucci e Vino with a Late Lunch Crowd of Our Own
Lunchtime is difficult enough when you’re accompanied by a gaggle of friends and relatives, but when two of them are vegetarians and one of them is a very…ahem…choosy nine year-old child, finding an appropriate place to eat is about as much fun as doing your taxes. But it’s not impossible. When our little crowd made the decision to forage for food as we left Books of Wonder on 18th Street and Fifth Avenue, we had one perfect solution: City Bakery. Sadly, the realities of the C.B. at 2:30 p.m. confronted us immediately when we couldn’t find a table big enough for three people, nevermind six. So we struck out again and wound up at the northern branch of di Giacomo and di Pietro’s Tarallucci e Vino, a coffee bar-cum-enoteca that has garnered considerable attention since it opened last year at around this time of year. We figured the small-plate menu would suit our lunchtime noshing needs just fine, and the added promise of a glass of wine made me, in particular, smile.

If you live in/around NYC, then you'll know that yesterday felt blood-freezing (which I guess also means ...human freezing) cold. You know that feeling you get in your hands when it's cold and you're walking around and your hands absorb the cold and you can't feel your hands because it's cold but then you go to a warmer place and your hands regain some feeling after the aforementioned cold numbingness, but instead of feeling like normal hands, they feel kinda (WARNING: fake word up ahead) spingly like a hand transplant gone wrong? Yeah? ...No? Nevermind.
