Eat NYC

Of course, the t's had to eat during their weekend getaway in New York. The dinners were planned in advance and the lunches were spontaneous. By accident, most of the restaurants had a "farm to table" philosophy. Each executed it in their own way, and to be honest, we were never disappointed.

The Green Table Housed in Chelsea Market, this tiny gem of a restaurant was a surprise. We had to wait for a table - but it was worth it. The food was fresh from the farm..we sampled soup, salad and deviled eggs. Yum! If you have a large group, they have a big table that actually sits outside of the restaurant in Chelsea Market. There is a charming bar and a counter to enjoy a drink while waiting for a table.

The Market Table This one we lifted from GOOP's city guide app. Located in Greenwich Village, it felt like a quintessential neighborhood restaurant filled with locals. More delicious "farm fresh" food. The space was small and bustling with huge windows overlooking the street corner. Note: no sign of Gwynnie :/

Food Trucks At the Brooklyn Flea Market, we enjoyed lunch "food truck style"..a lobster roll sandwich and tacos eaten on steps in the fresh sunshine. {A perfect break from the flea.} The food trucks were lined up and, honestly, each menu looked so good, it was hard to choose!

Hecho en Dumbo Hecho en Dumbo moved across the bridge from Dumbo, Brooklyn to the East Village and we were so happy they did! We reserved the chef's table -- a five course dinner prepared by the chef and his staff as you watch. Our meal ended up being seven amazing courses (!) The t's can't stop talking about our experience at Hecho en Dumbo. We highly recommend you enjoy it too.
