Nine

Yesterday we met family for brunch at 9.


I had their Marscapone French Toast and it was amazing!  It didn't even need syrup, just a thin strawberry juice drizzled around the plate over fresh berries.  My husband had their short rib hash and said it was excellent as well.  I highly recommend this place for brunch if you are near 9th Ave and 53rd.

Sardi's

I haven't been to Sardi's in a while unfortunately, but the last time I went by I took a picture for you because I wanted to tell you how awesome Sardi's was for dessert!  My friend Amy and I went there after seeing Equus on Broadway a couple of years ago and got dessert.  It was scrumptious!  During dessert we struck up a conversation with the couple at the table next to us and they were so fascinating that we talked for hours and closed down the restaurant.  It was an amazing night.

For those of you who aren't aware of what Sardi's is famous for it is the decor.  The food is great too, of course, but Sardi's is the restaurant with all of the caricatures of famous people on the wall.  It has been featured in loads of movies but my favorite of them all was the scene in The Muppets Take Manhattan where Kermit is trying to make himself seem like a big-shot producer and he sneaks into Sardi's and takes down Liza Minelli's photo and replaces it with one of himself.  That was comedy gold to a six year old, let me tell you!
