Mmmm, family.

Mi familia came to visit me and chow down on the NYC offerings.


We ate bagels every single morning. Raw red onion and slices of tomato, salt, and lots of pepper.


To Chinatown for dumplings


and Dim Sum.


We visited the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (free on Tuesdays!) and nibbled our way through the incredible herb, fruit, and vegetable garden.






In addition to this beautiful swiss chard, there was amaranth, sorrel, lamb's quarters, tobacco, quinoa, and dozens of plants I have never even heard of.


At the New Museum, they have rich and crumbly peanut butter cookies filled with whipped peanut butter-buttercream. 3$!


Cheddar-baked eggs with grits and golden raisin- fennel toast.


Ricotta on toasted baguette with fig jam, dried sour cherries, walnuts, and arugula. Roebling Tea House.


This handsome young guy graduated into culinary manhood when he tried his first on-the-half-shell oyster this weekend. Will it be his last?
