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.
