A bite of the Big Apple!



Another day, another city...but, this time it's the best city on the planet...serving the best pizza on the planet (according to Zagat!) which is why I HAD to try it... I thought, "How can it be the best on the planet?? How is this possible??" Let me tell you...it's undeniable! Wowza! Lombardi's Pizza on Spring Street in New York City is awesome. Absolutely the most flavorful, perfected crust, yummy ricotta, amazing crushed tomato sauce... running out of adjectives here... but you can see, I'm hooked and can't wait for another trip to try a different combination! 
Then, to make a great meal even better, cross the street when you're done at Lombardi's and serve your sweet tooth some delicious rice pudding at Rice to Riches! Yes, made famous in Sex and the City, it now stands on it's own as a dessert highlight!
You'll laugh when I tell you one of our best meals in the city was from the Rickshaw Dumpling truck. No lie! And right next to their red truck sits a ratty old white truck that just says dessert truck on it... making the cities best truck creme brulee, goat cheese donuts with chocolate sauce, molten chocolate cake with vanilla creme sauce and these were so good I can't remember the other two desserts they offered - all for $5 each! It's a bargain and they package it up for you to take to your hotel, although there were about 15 people standing around eating it right there on the street corner! 

I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!!
