New York:
Joe's Shanghai, recommended by a coworker for their soup dumplings, and man were they amazing! Enjoyed by the fantastic company of my parents and wonderful little Grace; we tried some dishes outside of what they serve in Texas Chinese restaurants, and everyone's pallate was happy! Kudos to the fam for being adventurous. We had soup dumplings (two orders bc that's how fantastic they are), Shanghai-style ribs, and a spicy chicken dish I no longer remember. Though properly warned, we went to the Mid-Town location as it was right next to the hotel! We enjoyed it but for better prices and even better food, you're supposed to go to the Chinatown location.
Eataly - the fam and I met up with bestie Christie and after a great meal, we HAD to grab some dessert on our way out! For those of you who don't know, Mario Batali has created his own super-symposium of Italian eatery. It's compromised of store goods, groceries, pasta restaurant, meat restaurant, fish restaurant, ciacutterie restaurant, vegetable restaurant, oh and about 6 different counters of delicious pastel e gelati to choose from. We grabbed some quick carry-aways on our way out, and my mother and I shared one of the best desserts of all time... salted caramel panna cotta! (I couldn't find a direct picture but it's the dessert on the right cut-off)
Just look at how high it rose!!!
