Popover Cafe, 551 Amsterdam Ave., Manhattan

Obviously you want to hear about the popovers. But first, I have to tell you that Pat and I got married. It was the best fun! I recommend it to anyone.



But let's talk popovers (or Yorkshire puddings, as my kin the Brits refer to them). I was excited that there was a cafe devoted to them, but it was just so-so. We're talking about Popover Cafe on the Upper West Side. I had one big ol' popover with strawberry butter, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and a mug of hot chocolate that really should have been bigger and sweeter for the $5 pricetag. My popover kind of failed to thrill, which is odd for a place that is all about popovers, right?

Oh well. The important thing is that now I am married.
