Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

When it becomes 50°+ in NYC this equals throngs of people eager to find any excuse to get out! For CD and I this was all to true. In honor of the first really nice day (in a looooooooooooong cold winter) we stopped into Union Square Café for a lite lunch. And the food was so much more than we had expected, but the pretentious crowd/wantabe high-end tourist and the cute waiters left much to be desired.

But back to the food, which left us daydreaming about it all afternoon. CD had this grilled beef sirloin & rocket arugula salad with mushroom vinaigrette and parmigiano reggiano ($22) & I had the USC Burger – grilled and served on a homemade poppy seed bun with french fries and cheddar ($15).
