About

NYC Nom Nom is a blog about food. Restaurants and recipes... from the good, to the bad, to the un-nommable. Recently, I joined Weight Watchers. But I refuse to give up my love for food. Join me on my journey of recipes and restaurants (whether you're dieting or not).

I am very fortunate in that I get to try many of the best restaurants in NYC. I also am realizing that I love to cook and have been expanding my culinary skills with my boyfriend, Mike. So what better way to chart my path through the world of food than with a blog?

I would not consider myself a foodie, as that moniker carries with it some level of expertise, of which I have none. I just really love food and am very lucky to have both access to good restaurants and a really great kitchen (by New York City standards anyway).

If you want to reach me, you can email me at sara@nycnomnom.com or if you have more questions, visit the NYCNomNom FAQs

So without further ado, enjoy nomming.

Dafni Greek Taverna Delivery

Trying to stay a LITTLE healthy, we ordered takeout fromDafni Greek Taverna (42nd Street between 8th and 9th Aves). 

We started with stuffed grape leaves.  They were quite delicious, though I can’t say I ever see too much difference in grape leaves. It seems everyone uses the exact same recipe.

I went with the Garides Mikrolimano Entrée which included sauteed shrimp with tomato sauce, feta, olives, over rice.  It was QUITE tasty and was plenty for two separate meals.

Mike got the Chicken Souvlaki Grilled Entrée over rice. It was quite tasty and the chicken was very well marinated.

Overall, I was quite surprised by this place.  When I think of food around Port Authority, nothing of much worth comes to mind.  This place was tasty, seamed fresh, and delivers.  Kind of hard to beat.  My entree was a bit pricey at $19 (Mike’s was $13.50), however, when you think that I got two full meals out of it, it’s kind of hard to argue at $9.50.

Total Nom Points: 6.5 out of 10
