Girl Eats NYC Lori

Dinner at @sawaanthainyc was such a treat! This modern Thai restaurant just south of #BryantPark features a tempting menu of classics and specialties - we had such a hard time choosing! Each dish is beautifully presented and crafted, and is packed with flavor (and sometimes spice)! 🌶️

Our favorites were the Beef Shank Khao Soi, which featured tender beef in a creamy, savory, and lightly spiced broth with noodles and the Beef Brisket Yum Jeaw, which was perfectly balanced in acidity, spice, and sweetness - with a little fish sauce! And no dinner is complete without Mango Sticky Rice.

Still dreaming about the slices at @slicehauspizzeria in the #WestVillage! They’re the ideal location for a delicious but casual meal, and each one is made to perfection. My favorites are their square pies, including the signature Pepperoni Burrata Spicy Honey & Vodka and Meatballs, but they make a classic NY slice as well! 🍕

Need weekend plans? @leonettanyc has you covered thanks to their extensive brunch menu, and the addition of their $50/pp Brunch Prix Fixe! You’ll get a shared Black Hummus Dip, your choice of main, and two make-your-own spritzes from the bar!

The space is perfect for a leisurely afternoon, with bright, airy spaces and plenty of natural light. Plus you can’t go wrong either the food either, which a variety of savory and sweet classics! Definitely recommend the Eggs Benedict, which had perfectly poached eggs and crispy potatoes, and the Roast Beef Panini, which comes with a delicious jus!

For #NationalBBQMonth, @virgilsrealbbq is hosting an East Coast vs. West Coast throw down between their pitmasters, which means guests get to try some brand new items each week! For NYC in the last week of May, that means these Black Vinegar Honey Spare Ribs are on the menu - and you won’t regret ordering these fall-off-the-bone ribs that are both sweet with a touch of acidity and come with 2 sides of your choice!

Don’t forget to try their decadent Brisket Melt and the classic Combo platter, where you can order 2 proteins and 2 sides of your choice - and the Banana Pudding makes for a perfect finish!

I’ve had @witch_topokki_nyc on my list for ages, and it did not disappoint! This AYCE rice cake-focused restaurant offers all the shapes and flavors you could dream of (our favorites were the cheese and sweet potato!) plus a make-your-own sauce bar, an array of appetizers and sides, and plenty of meats and veggies to round out your pot! Don’t leave without getting a soft serve swirl either. 🌶️🍦
