The past two nights my meal was so delicious that I forgot to stop eating and take pictures. I was also eating with friends and felt a little self conscious stopping to whip out my cell phone. So I don’t have pics of our outrageous pastrami spring rolls, soup dumplings and sea bass with fermented black beans from Red Farm on the upper West Side. And I only have one embarrassing picture from the elegant and indulgent four course Italian meal we had at Marea last night. What I did have plenty of time to photograph was the salad I had in front of my computer today. It was not all deprivation as I followed it with a slice of New York crumb cake. I’m sure there is an official name for this type of coffee cake but it seems ubiquitous at NYC delis and grocers and it is irresistible- moist yellow cake with a thick layer of crumbs on top. Off to spinning class tomorrow morning to work off all this food!
