Just back from a whirlwind trip of New York. It was everything I had expected it to be and more. It was overwhelming, dazzling, exhausting and scrumptious. The trip could best be summed up as a total food fest. To try and explain it visually, just imagine two little yellow packmen chomping their way around the city - that was us.
Armed with a list of restaurants to try out and our voracious appetites, our culinary travels took us around the streets of Manhattan, to Brooklyn, to Long Island and New England. We had both good and bad experiences but on the whole, they were pretty impressive.
Thank you to everyone who recommended places for us to try. We certainly have some favourites. And, in the coming weeks, we'll share with you some of our photos and experiences.
Even though I've only been back a day, I can't wait to relive my holiday through Taste Buddies. I think you'll enjoy it too.
Lovely! I can't wait-- I might make my way there this year :)

Syrie - I am glad you had a wonderful trip to NYC and beyond. I love New England and your lobster picture reminded me of my last trip there. Did you go to Cape Cod and try Lobster Pot? I had the best seafood pasta EVER in that restaurant. Yummy!

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments!! I want to go back!
Bee, we never got to Cape Cod but we did have our fair share of lobster! I hope to go again so I have to get the name from you!
Manggy...I hope you do. I can't wait to go back. Vancouver is so quiet in comparison!
Thanks Amanda!! Hope you had a good snooze.
Thanks Jerry...I'm the same.
Bonjour Vincent!! Thanks so much for your charming comments.
