NYC – 10/13/15 – Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop and Seamstress

Posted in New York by

Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop
I’ve wanted to try this breakfast ramen since it was added to the menu but getting to the west side in the morning is not the easiest.  If I could start my day in this neighborhood everyday this would become a very bad habit.  Absolutely loved it!  Although clearly it was early as I have no idea why I did not add an egg.

Breakfast all day ramen – dashi-cheddar, taylor ham, scallion omelet, whole wheat noodle

Pork Buns

Seamstress
I’ve been to Seamstress a few times for their fantastic cocktails but this was my first opportunity to have dinner here.  Surprisingly really great food.  Unfortunately its quite dark so the photography is not the best.  But easily one of the best things about the UES.  And really when was the last time you had a baked Alaska??

NYC – 3/7/15 – Pizza Beach and the Seamstress

Pizza Beach

Before having family living (temporarily) on the UES my outings there were few and far between.  Luckily Pizza Beach arrived at the perfect time and in the perfect location.  The servers are extremely patient in the controlled chaos that seems to erupt earlier in the evening when the restaurant is full of children.  And while it is very kid friendly, adults will be quite satisfied with the menu.  I am though very picky about my pizza crust and so my only criticism is that I wish this was crisper.  But all of the toppings were great and we have made a return trip since this date!

Cannelli Bean Hummus – snap pea, radish & fennel crudite 

Meatballs – pomodoro sauce, grana padano

Tuscan Kale Salad

Citrus Salad

Spicy Soppressata Pizza

Speck with Arugula & Fennel Salad Pizza 

Purple Kale & Butternut Squash Pizza 

Lamb Merguez & Oaxaca cheese Pizza 

The Seamstress

Another fantastic addition to the UES and a reason to continue to visit the area after my family eventually leaves.  I’m so glad I found this just barely before all of the media caught on.  Such a great space, fantastic decor and amazing drinks!
