2011 Restaurant Wish List

2011 is almost here.  It is time to start coming up with your restaurant wish list.  From my pizza post a few days ago, you know that I have a strong desire to make more pizza in 2011.  I really can't wait to start my pizza making adventures.  

I also have a restaurant wish list.  I am going to let you in to a little bit of a TMI situation for menu girl - I have made a list of restaurants I want to go to, and have divided the list into categories based on affordability.  Then I slapped a nerd sign on my face.
Flea Market Cafe was on my 2010 Wish List, and I ate a pail of delicious fries with my dinner!
I have restaurants that I can afford, restaurants that are within reach, and restaurants that are more "aspirational."  For example, I really want to try, and can afford, a burger at Pop Burger in Chelsea.  I also want to try Mary's Fish Camp, a restaurant in the Village, that does not take reservations.  It is not super affordable, but within reach.   And for a more aspirational, perhaps Valentine's Day type of celebration, I dream of Minetta Tavern and Del Posto.

I recommend making a list of your own.  What rocks about a restaurant wish list is that when it comes time to make a decision as to where to eat your Wednesday night dinner, you can refer to your list!  You no longer have to waste your time at unworthy restaurants - when you walk past a restaurant you want to go to, write it down, or put it in your phone.  You will be happy later when you know the name of the restaurant.

Have a delicious day!

  1. I went to Del Posto for my birthday dinner..let me tell you, one of the best meals I have ever eaten! If you can swing it definitely go...we got the il menu del posto, which includes 2 types of pasta for the table to share, an entree and dessert! AMAZING!
