Spring NYC Random Bites
Ah, NYC in the spring, there's nothin' like it (well, maybe except Paris in the spring).
This spring break took us for a few days to my favorite city for theatre, midtown sites, Central Park and always great eats.
I was invited to try out the new Pixie machine by Nespresso, as if I needed any more addictions.

My pal Ted Allen from CHOPPED hosted the fabulous event in the Soho location. Great time and my favorite coffee.

Today, Henry's lunchbox had the good fortune of having leftover homemade duck rillettes w/ mustard and cornichons for lunch from Salumeria Biellese on 8th Ave. I bought sausages, salamis and other goodies from this old time Italian butcher.
