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.

Tribeca Grill- 2010 Restaurant Week

My second (and unfortunately final) stop for NYC Restaurant Week Winter 2010 was Tribeca Grill (corner of Greenwich and Franklin) with the wonderful Carrie.  I had never been, and I was excited to see they had a very delicious sounding Restaurant Week Menu.

I had to go with the Chestnut soup (LOVE chestnuts!) and it was good, but not great. It just wasn’t chesnutty enough. 

Carrie went with a regular green salad.

Carrie also chose the black truffle cavatelli and was kind enough to give me a bite. It was delish!

I went with the red wine braised short rib that came with brussel sprouts, chanterelles, and pancetta.  It was quite tasty!

I tried to avoid eating TOO terribly and chose to spend my calorie budget on the short ribs rather than dessert… but I couldn’t just NOT get dessert.  So Carrie and I both chose to go with the gelato.  She chose the coffee.

I went with a fruit trio.  I think it was strawberry, banana, and something?  I’m not sure what.  It was good but far from the best I’ve had.

Overall, I think it was a decent restaurant week menu and I’m glad I got to try this, but I’m not sure if I’d be in any rush to go back.
