Okay, it’s Sunday night and I’m going to wander down to Carmine Street and have a Sunday dinner at the Noodle Bar and then wander around a little. So there!
And we're off. It was raining earlier, but now it's nice outside.
You can see the Twin Tower lights in the center of this photo if you look real closely.
Okay, we're just about a block away from Carmine Street, almost there.
And here we are at the Noodle bar. Yes, I'm a poet and I know it.
Inside it's a long and narrow space. There's an empty seat, so let's go snag it.
They have more wine than beer, but they have TsingTao, which is a favorite of mine.
Rows of soy sauce line the wall opposite the bar.
There's a nice view of Carmine Street from my seat at the bar.
The kitchen crew is busy preparing dishes. It smells great in here!
This woman's been obsessively texting the whole time I've been here. I feel sorry for the poor schmuck she's ignoring.
The beer has arrived, let the dinner begin!
And here's a trio of sauces to spicen up the meal. Hot sauce, soy sauce and a little bowl of chili sauce.
The first course is served, sesame chicken wings. Nice and spicy and even spicier after I added some additional hot sauce to them.
For the main course I got the coconut shrimp and spicy noodles.
Delicious! A wonderful Sunday dinner! But all the spiciness has left me craving something sweet to balance it out.
So I thought we'd check out the pastry at Rocco's on Bleecker Street, a block away.
Let's go inside and take a gander.
Usually it's packed in here, but luckily it's slow tonight.
Wow, it all looks great, but I'm pretty full, so I think I'll try some of the mini pastries.
And here they are, my three mini pastries. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
