New York City: Cuban and Eataly

Last week I went to New York for a job interview and stayed with my dear friend Alexis and her adorable boyfriend Alfredo. I can't post about New York and leave out the incredible Cuban food!

These two live in the West Village, and when I requested Cuban food, I was in luck! We went to an adorable place right down the street, ordered in Spanish (ok fine, Alfredo did most of the ordering), and enjoyed the delicious flavors! I got my all-time favorites; arroz con pollo, sweet fried plantains, and a mojito (claro!). I loved the black olives in the main dish, and have to say that leftovers the next day were equally as delicious!






























The next day after my interview I had some time to explore so I decided to hit up Eataly, a large indoor market with the finest ingredients for Italian dining. The best part of the market is that you can peruse the different sections while enjoying a delicious glass of wine! The presentation of everything is really beautiful and certainly encourages you to buy and eat as much as possible.




































































One day I will master the formatting of this blog, but for now I just threw all of the photos up to show just a touch of the variety there. Everywhere I turned, I saw something that looked even more delicious than the last section, which made it really difficult to make a decision! I will definitely go back again now that I know where to focus; cheese, desserts, pasta, pizza...basically all of it :)
