Midnight Double Cheeseburgers

Because sometimes nothing will satisfy those cheesy/meat/onion-cravings we sometimes get quite like a Macdonald's Cheeseburger after a few beers. $2 per double cheeseburger is a small price to pay for these delicacies.

Smoked Meat Goodness in Brooklyn

In a previous post, it was mentioned that there we saw that the Food Network featured a Deli in Brooklyn that smoked it's own meat. Since then I haven't stopped salivating. Whilst I was in the area I stopped off to have lunch at the Mile High Deli.

The first thing you notice is the smell of smoked meat which fills the Deli. Thats enough to make you want to order a regular smoked sandwich. Which is what I did. The meat is so tender, rare and best of all, tastes just as smoked as it smells.

It's also grat that they have free wifi, and the staff are friendly. One of the chefs told me about some great pizza places and other eateries to visit in NYC. Stay tuned!

Mini Burger at New York Burger Co.

Just because depression was sinking in from eating so many burgers (variety is the spice of life, right?), a mini burger was sampled at lunch from New York burger co.

A well done patty was requested, but this one turned out like cardboard. The box it came in would have been more appetizing. The blue cheese almost rescued it.

Five Napkins, One Huge Appetite

We chose this place purely for the web site. The burgers at Five Napkins were bigger than could fill the web page that we saw, and immediately we were sucked right in. So we ventured down to 2315 Broadway, where we entered burger heaven.

The name 'Five Napkins' seemed to mock the success of 'Five Guys', tauntingly saying 'our burgers are just as good as you guys'. The name also implies that you will actually need five napkins to enjoy this meal. This wasn't too far from the truth. Whilst the single cloth napkin was sufficient to maintain our personal hygiene during the mastication process of devouring this burger, nevertheless, the process bordered upon the socially unacceptable. In other words, it was rather messy!! Caramelized onions spilt out of the side of this burger upon digging in.

Overall, we rate this experience a positive one. Vanilla bean stout was also a highlight of this meal.

Breakfast: NYC hotdogs

For a healthy change this morning for breakfast, we decided we needed something a little different from hamburgers. So we walked through Central Park and bought these at a cafe (the street vendor options looked festy).

Also included in our order was a bag of crisps each, which we didn't ask for. We wondered why these were included with our hotdogs. Do we look like we need fattening up? Are these supposed to be an extra with our hotdogs? Can any of our American readers shed some light upon this hotdog mystery???

NYC Dessert at Juniors for Devils Cheesecake

For dessert, we ventured down to Times Square to sample some of Junior's cheesecake. When we bit into the devil's cheesecake, we could feel the sugar drilling holes in our teeth. Too sweet for us to finish this.
