NY = food

There's an indelible link for us between New York and food and this trip did nothing to sever that connection. Apart from the yums at the rehearsal dinner, wedding and Sunday brunch we also had an introduction to a brand new way to eat breakfast and a very cool Mexican restaurant.


Even the cutlery looks good

I've never ever had Indian for breakfast before. Well maybe once on Brick Lane in London but that was more of a very very very late dinner than a true breakfast. Dave and Sarah managed to discover an amazing Indian dish called dosai that you can eat for breakfast and I don't think my conception of Indian cooking will ever be the same again.


Our food exploration guides for the weekend

Dosai are basically a savoury pancake that is wrapped around a core of some sort of spicy potato and onion concoction and served with incredible sauces to dip into. And let me tell you, they taste really really good for breakfast.


This was the crazy one, somehow fried to stay in a perfect cylindrical shape. Nice and crunchy!


The more regular but still just as tasty dosai
