The Spotted Pig

**2009 edit*** I just realized this was a Mario Batali restaurant** yay

We were in New York City over the weekend and while I was watching Rachael Ray she actually recommended two NYC restaurants. She doesn't usually do that on 30 minute meals but I had DH look up the restaurants and we decided on going to Spotted Pig. It was the best dinner I've ever eaten.

I ordered quail stuffed with chorizo, goat cheese souffle, and a salad with spanish almonds.

DH ordered a huge burger with shoestring fries.

All night I told him he was missing out because my meal was SO good!

I think drinks may have been expensive. DH had a beer and iced tea, and I had two rum and cokes.

In total we spent about $100 on dinner.
Phew NYC is expensive

The restuarant is in the Greenich Village area. It was fun to walk around and check out the other restaurants in the area.

Kelsey's Pub and Restaurant Thanksgiving

Kelsey's was one of the few places selling a Thanksgiving for 2 and it was only $75.  It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing with sausage, green bean casserole gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls with a honey butter.  I ordered an additional apple pie too.  It was a perfect amount and I managed to get everything reheated ready to eat in 1 hour.
