New York 2011: Junior’s
I’m fresh off my big trip this year to New York. Well… maybe not so “fresh off” seeing that I got back a month ago. Yeah, I’m a bit slow with my trip recap 
.
So, as I was saying, “fresh off” my trip to New York and I had blast! My first trip to NY was for business so I have very limited time to really take in the city. This time, I was able to actually do a bit of sightseeing, a LOT of eating, and got to hang out with several friends that I’d not seen in years, as well as, make some new ones.
One of the most memorable parts of this trip for me was the excellent cuisine I was able to indulge in. ’Cause you know I’m a foodie at heart .
First up, Junior’s! Just let me say, I had the fortune of this fine establishment being right next door to my hotel. So when I say they say me at least once daily, I mean just that. I was there so often that my fav 2 waiters greeted me whenever I walked through the door. So, during my first visit, I was introduced to the NY deli tradition of have pickles, slaw, and pickled beets being served whenever lunch or dinner was ordered.
So…. I had my doubts about this, but being the foodie I am, I was down to try it
And as you can tell…. I wasn’t too keen on that experience. However I will say, that was the BEST slaw I’d ever tasted. And I *may* have even asked for slaw a breakfast once–or twice–, but I will neither confirm nor deny that…
Now, down to the reason we came. This was the best strawberry cheesecake ever!
And here’s my breakfast of granola with fruit (yes, that’s a HUGE bowl) and home fries (which were excellent, by the way).
And since I’m talking about breakfast, here’s my other breakfast meal at Junior’s. I was a bit more “reserved” this time.
Granola and yogurt…. so good. 
And to round out my Junior’s experience, here’s a couple of the other delectable desserts I sampled: Lemon coconut cake and Devil’s Food cheescake.
That wraps up my Junior’s experience. I’ll do a separate post to highlight my other culinary adventures, including some of the best Cuban I’ve ever had. Stay tuned.
