One of the best things about New York City is that you never have to eat at the same place twice if you don't want too. Last night I was feeling seafood so off to McCormick and Smick's we went. They were having a deal if you made an online reservation you would receive $25 off your meal - sounds good to me.

D and I had a great time. We had a couple drinks at the bar with a uber-cool bartender before we headed to our table. We started with the small oyster sampler and then for entrees I had the jumbo scallops with wildmushroom risotto and D had a 2lb lobster. The night wouldn't be complete without a little flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Unfortunately, we both woke up around 5am with terrible headaches. Not the hangover kind either. Not sure what the issue is but I'm not happy.

At any rate, onto other restaurants. I've been to so many places it would hard to put it all in one post. I'll start with a few places I've been recently and my thoughts on said establishments.


Thai
If you are into Thai and are on the Upper East Side look into Thai Milano. It's on 2nd Ave between 90th and 91st. They do fabulous delivery as well. Love this place.


Spice, anothing Thai joint has a semi-trendy atmosphere on the Upper East Side, is located on 2nd Ave between 73rd and 74th. The food was okay, not as good as Thai Milano in my opinion, but still good. The drinks were expensive for the size (but this is NYC). I'd go back if I was down that way, but not my favorite.


Chinese/Asian Cuisene
Noodles 28 is a Chinese, Vietnamese, Noodle Shop. You get a little bit of everything here. I love that you can choose your noodle. They have pretty good dumplings too. Noodles 28 is located on 2nd Ave. at 85th. Their portions are large so go hungry. Take out is as good as eating there!

Pic Up Stix - a little Chinese place located on Lex between 90th and 91st. Don't expect anything fancy, but the food is good. We ordered General Tso's Chicken and half a Peking Duck, I really enjoyed the duck.

Love your food suggestions...especially since they are all on the upper east! I've tried Thai Milano, but not any of the others!

Another great Chinese restaurant on the UES is Nancy Lee's Pig Heaven. Nancy, the owner, is wonderful as is the food. During Chinese New Year they throw a huge party in the restaurant with dragons, choreographed dances and all sorts of fun stuff. Definitely give it a try!
