T's Birthday!!

Today was T's birthday. We ended up going into the city earlier then planned with my brother in law and his girlfriend. It was pretty cold, but all in all a great day! Here's a picture of us driving in.. no traffic, how great is that?
This is where we went for T, it was rated one of the best pizza places in New York and is in the book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die in North America. T and brother in law enjoyed pepper and onion pizza and said it was definitely the best pizza they've ever had. Brother in law's girlfriend enjoyed a house salad (she read the entire Skinny Bitch book last night and says she is going vegan). I enjoyed some Pellegrino and patiently waited for where we were going to stop at for my dinner..

PURE FOOD & WINE: TAKEAWAY!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't far from where they had pizza so T said we could stop by and I could pick up some food to go. Brother in law's girlfriend came in with me and was so shocked by all the raw treats. She was fascinated with the place and even got some dessert to go. I ordered the Tortilla Wraps, which was spicy sunflower meat, avocado and tomato salsa. They were filled with guacamole, YUM!!! They also gave me a side of sour cream, which was so close to the real thing (smell and all) that I almost couldn't eat it (but I did!). I remember when T and I went to the Pure Food and Wine restaurant I ordered something that came with sour cream and I had the same reaction. These were so rich and filling! I have half of one left over that I am saving for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait!!

I brought everything home and waited until dinner time to eat it (don't ask me how!), I had a Lara Bar and some fruit to hold me over. I also ordered the S&M salad which was greens, avocado, hemp seeds, dulse, rosemary crackers and a mac-lime dressing. Holy amazing! So fresh, so delicious!

I HAD to get some dessert. They had soooo many great looking things! It came down to the tiramisu or the moon pie. The two people working said the moon pie was the best, so I went with them.. and boy were they right! I need to go back there on a regular basis just for the dessert!! They gave to many choices, but my mind (and wallet) were telling me one was good for now. Hopefully, we can go back soon for some "to go" treats!

The guy and girl working at the takeaway were so freakin nice! Brother in law's girlfriend and I looked at each other when we left and said wow, what great people! Definitely another reason to go back..!

T said he had a wonderful birthday! I sure enjoyed it! He he! One week till my 25th birthday, like I said, we are going to Candle 79, I plan on ordering a raw meal (they have a few raw choices) I hope it can live up to Pure Food and Wine's raw food!!
