Pat had to drop off his car at the dealership in Hell's Kitchen last night, so we made dinner plans there. We started with the "world flight" of beers at Valhalla, 815 9th Ave. There were a variety of 5 small tasty beers from Belgium, Germany, America, and elsewhere. We were very pleased. The bar was a little loud as it was happy hour, but we had a table to ourselves. I looked around and said "look at all these people with their friends!" and we laughed ruefully as we have not exactly spread our social butterfly wings here yet. Fortunately for us, we're still in that phase of coupledom where we find each other's company entirely fulfilling.
After our drinks we went to Island Burgers & Shakes, where the shakes were terrible! Pat's was vanilla and mine chocolate and both arrived at our table melted. Pat flagged his concern to a waiter and got a new one, exactly like first one.
The burgers were decent, though. Mine was Derrick's Burger, with pesto and a lotta spice that sort of overwhelmed me till I got used to it. Its ciabatta roll was probably a poor choice as it was a little too chewy. Pat got the Route 66 Burger, with bacon and avocado on rye bread.
On an entirely unrelated (fortunately) note, Pat and I have been dismayed by how much the subway stops smell like urine. How much urine must be there for the smell to be so powerful? I theorized that perhaps people are peeing onto the air vents at street level so the smell just gets circulated constantly underground. However it happens, it is truly repulsive. Pat remarked how quickly you can go from marvelling at all that is dazzling about New York to marvelling at some of its seedier features.
Also strictly unrelatedly, I have now met our neighbors in 2 apartments. Across the hall from us are Emily and Kim, who do not live there but use the apartment as an office. They showed it to me - it has the most spectacular, huge half-circle window. They told me that the woman who used to live in our apartment (she also had theirs and used it as an office as they do) was a crazy Wiccan type who painted everything purple, red and black, and eventually departed owing several months' rent. The others I met were Heather and her boys, Nolan and Elliott. Last week, Pat noticed that each of the apartments in our hallway had a note under the door similar to the one we got: "I like you. From: Nolan. To: You." It was very cute. We left a note under their door in response: "Hi Nolan! Thank you for your note! We like you too. From Jennie and Pat."

Zaitzeff, 72 Nassau St., Manhattan
Yesterday featured fairly miserable New York weather, so Pat and I ordered from Seamless Web last night. We got kobe burgers and a side of mixed (regular and sweet potato) fries from Zaitzeff in the Financial District. The burgers were very good, and we liked the English-muffinesque buns. The mixed fries were decent. Our only critique was that the food could have been a little hotter, which was surprising given how fast it arrived (25 minutes).
We explored a very cool store - ABC Home. As soon as I walked in, I basically wanted everything, which is striking given the "I have way, way, way too much stuff and why are we all so materialistic?" tune I have been singing lately. The experience reinforced how little overlap there is in my and Pat's tastes, alas, but we enjoyed poking around. We thought we would come back after we have someday finished unpacking and setting everything up in our apartment and determined what we still need, although we'll probably still be loathe to contend with the steep prices!
We also went back to Luke's Lobster, for lunch. Aside from a delivery order Pat got from one of the restaurants we'd visited before, this represented the first time we have repeated at a restaurant. It was every bit as delightful as our first trip, the bread buttery, the lobster succulent.

Room Service, 690 9th Ave., Manhattan
Room Service, our first culinary pursuit in Hell's Kitchen, was a recommendation from Pat's father's friend Bill, and it was spot on. We waited about half an hour for a table and it was loud and the tables were close together, but oh! Those spicy basil noodles! They made my mouth happy with their flavor and their mixture of textures and their perfect spiceness. Perfect! The shrimp were cooked exactly right, and the noodles were soft and full of flavor, and it was all rounded out with some crisp vegetables and fried egg. It could not have been improved upon.
Pat's panang curry with chicken was also delicious, overall highly coconutty and with a drool-worthy drizzle of coconut on top. Pat is freaked out by the phenomenon of green beans in his panang curries in New York and can't decide whether to be heartened or dismayed at the hard-core veggies in his decadent curries. It does give you your daily greens.
I had a mango mojito and Pat had a coconut mojito. I liked them both but he wasn't wild about his.
Our appetizer was perhaps a misstep - mixed fried shrimp, mini-egg-rolls, balls of chicken and tofu sticks. Undistinguished.
Pat is 95% certain that Vanessa Williams, B-list celebrity these days, was sitting three tables down. I don't know what she looks like well enough to verify, but certainly the woman three tables down was very striking. And the place is cool enough, and the food good enough, that celebrities should make it a destination.
The prospect of the spicy basil noodle leftovers thrills me.

BLT Bar and Grill, 123 Washington St., Manhattan
Marc Fungard was the first of Pat's friends to descend upon NYC for the bachelor party tomorrow, so we went out to dinner with him at BLT Bar and Grill in the Financial District. This was another notch for me in the BLT bedpost (see earlier post about BLT Burger).
It is apparently new, and a very hip space. One nice touch was that sitting with our backs to the window on the 2nd level, we could look up at mirrors angled for a view down of the street.
Our waiter seemed a little skittish, perhaps new, but all our food was excellent. Pat had a lobster risotto; Marc and I each had the burger special, with different meats blended together and caramelized onion. My cocktail, the Saint Gin, was very delicious. The cheesecake was positively delightful, with a thin crunchy top and a tangy berry sauce. The profiteroles had a nice chocolate drizzle.

Max Restaurant, 181 Duane St., Manhattan
After Pat finished work, I met him at his office and we just wandered north and looked for something appealing for dinner. We found Max Restaurant in Tribeca. Our first pleasure of the evening was Delirium Tremens on tap.
The next was a prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer. The mozzarella....so FRESH!! Every bite was a brand new joy. Why isn't there mozzarella like that in Washington? What is it about New York that makes unbelievably fresh mozzarella a possibility that doesn't exist 200 miles south? It doesn't matter, does it - all that matters is that we have arrived in Mozzarellaville and we're not budging.
Our entrees were superb, for the price ($12 and $14). Pat had spaghetti with a lamb ragu sauce. At one point, after he had consumed every last noodle, I witnessed him dipping a piece of bread in the remaining sauce, tapping parmesan on top, and then spooning more sauce on top of that, then eating it. My ravioli with spinach and ricotta was in a perfect tomato sauce and let's just say there was no question as to whether I had finished, when I had finished.
We were on such a roll that I couldn't resist a dessert I wasn't even hungry for, and I'm not sorry at all about polishing off that tiramisu. It was a little gooier than traditional, but that probably only made it more tasty.
We'll be back.

Walkers, 16 N. Moore St., Manhattan
Guided as usual by NFT, we walked to Walkers in Tribeca. It was not, incidentally, on the corner NFT said it was on. Sometimes I have creeping doubts about NFT. Anyway, Pat knew vaguely where he was, pointing out restaurants and bars he had frequented with our friend Matt a couple weeks ago. Pat has become something of a Tribexpert. Ha ha ha!!
The layout of Walkers is odd. When we walked in it looked totally packed, but a waitress informed us that the host station was at the back. I elbowed my way there, passing a drunk gentleman who said "Hello, gorgeous," extended his hand, and introduced himself as Jeff. I kept moving. It turns out there are two rooms behind the bar, and Pat and I were seated immediately.
Our food was decent. I had a chicken sandwich with a very pleasing salsa and oozing cheese, and a side of mashed potatoes. Pat cobbled together a meal of seafood stew (lots of nice seafood), chili (nicely spicy), and fries (good, but too many remainder pieces). Jeff lurched past at some point, on his way to and from the restroom; he did not acknowledge our very special moment earlier. The waiter was nice. I have to say I did not find the food "surprisingly" good as NFT promised, but it was fine.

KoKo Asian Fusion, 120 Greenwich St., Manhattan
KoKo Asian Fusion, in the Financial District, is new. The decor is attractive, with swaths of decorative fabric, shades of yellow and red, some Asian pieces on display (a lacquer chest, a porcelain horse), and lots of backlighting. It was a little too quiet and too light, though, perhaps. These are the kinks of a new restaurant, along with things like an awkward arranging of the plates on the table (just set them down and leave, man!).
My egg roll was dry and uninteresting. My chicken pad thai was fine, but it did not taste like pad thai should - no sweetness. And what are little bits of cabbage doing in pad thai? On the other hand, Pat's Grand Marnier Shrimp (made, according to the menu, with condensed milk, oddly) was delicious. The sauce was lovely and the walnuts and broccoli were a nice accompaniment.
A particularly nice touch was included with our leftovers. It was a tidy ziploc bag with spoon and fork, napkin, sauces, and even a mint!

The Grotto NYC, 69 New St., Manhattan
Pat and I just wanted something close and cheap last night so we turned to our trusty NFT and would up at the Grotto in the Financial District. The place is open till 9:00 PM but it was awfully lackluster for dinner and I can only hope it serves up better stuff at lunch. Pat had a chicken parmesan sandwich and I had a spinach calzone. We were totally unimpressed. You can't beat the ubiquity of restaurants in New York but we have reached a point where we want them to be good more consistently. Some people have given us massive lists of their favorite places so it is time to start making our way down those lists, I guess.
BLT Burger, 470 6th Ave., Manhattan
Matt is one of Pat's college friends, and luckily for me, he is currently unemployed. He proposed lunch at BLT Burger in the West Village. I started with a Grandma's Treat spiked milkshake, which was soooo good, and for better or worse, did not make me drunk. We got fried pickles and tuna tacos (delectable) as appetizers and then my burger was the Great Hills Blue. It was wonderful, if not very blue-cheesy. We had a grand time lingering at our table in the middle of the day. I entreated Matt not to get a job and he made a note not to use me as a reference. Of course I do want him to find a job but not before we spend some more afternoons hitting the Shake Shack, Buttercup Bakery, and all the many other BLT restaurant permutations.
