Katz makes me soo happy

There are some NY institutions that aren't worth any hype. I can happily tell you some are worth a woot woot, my loudest woot woot goes to Katz deli. I love Katz for some many reasons. Well first, and most importantly it's amazingly, fantasticly, out of this world yummy. In addition, I really like the atmosphere; Katz always has the "stuff your face" mood which happens to be my life moto: funny, huh? I have to say every time I've been there I have had an amazing time and it's consistently delicious.My smile was just as big on the inside

My friends and I made it a tradition to all go down to Katz as much as possible. We went a few times last year including my 16th birthday (does that prove to you, that it's actually amazing?). Yesterday, 4 of us ventured to the east village deli and there was no looking back. My friend Aaron and I grubbed on pastrami (his was on a wedge, mine was on rye) while Mathias and Claudia had philly cheese steak. Additionally, we all got a side of french fries and pickles. And since this is a food blog i guess I need to say the pastrami isn't dry and cooked perfectly while the steak is tender. Being the savory kinda gal I am this food obviously suits my liking. If you don't like salt because you don't wanna bloat i don't think this is the place for you but I also think you're a weirdo.

My food... Pastrami on rye, pickles, french fries, and a much needed

shake shack

The title pretty much sums up what this post is about.... SHAKE SHACK!

everybody likes something from shake shack and if you say otherwise you are a straight up liar.Shack Stack
My mouth is watering!!!!!!! My favorite at shake shack is the shack stack. Let me lay it out for you, it's delicious. It's a mixture of their shroom burger and cheese burger but it's so much more. It's a cheeseburger with a mushroom covered in cheese and then fried. This is what i call the diet breaker. A diet breaker is something that no matter how much you try if you are presented with a certain food item, the diet is off for 30 mins.Shack Stack w/ fries
Though their burgers are delicious, their french fries could be better. Don't get me wrong, they are good but let's be honest there are better fries out there. So if you are on a diet and decide to cheat, I would just go with the burger and steal one or two fries from your shack mate.

Dang, Room Service

Tuna Tartare

The strength of my food cravings I like to compare to a pregnant women need for pickles or ice cream and just like a pregnant lady, I end up with a baby in my stomach (food baby, that is). Today my most frequent craving arose; ASIAN. At first my friends and I were going to Chinatown. However, the later it was, the farther uptown the restaurants got. Filipino was next on our plate but we didn't make it that far since Manhattan traffic was moving a little slowly and i remembered room service was right by where we were. We quickly hoped out of the taxi and rushed inside. I have been to Room Service once and attempted to go another time. The first time the service was horrible, the attempt my mom and I got yelled at. The third time (today) was better but it's just one of those places; good food, bad service. 2 out of the 3 of us started with Tuna Tartare (above) and the other bad a curry popper (right bellow). It was all amazing, therefore, making up for the service (today instead of being rude, they just ignored us, which I would rather). Then we got what we went there for; Pad Thai.

Pad Thai

Okay Room Service Pad Thai, sure you're delicious, I will give you that and because of you god awful service I would love to say otherwise. However, last time I ate there the pad thai just had so much more flavor and spice making it different than any other. This time, It was like a lot of other Pad Thai that I have had (I only eat good pad thai though so don't doubt that Room Service isn't bringing it).
Oh Room Service if you got some good service you would get such a good score in my book but you're a lucky duck and your Tuna Tartare is amazing enough that I would put up with some ignoring.

serbian yummies

Cevapcici

Being 1/2 Serbian come with perks. However the greatest thing about being Serbian is the food! Where do you get Serbian food, you asked? Why my friends there is no other place than is Munchan in Astoria Queens (yes, most famous for the cuisine of our neighbors to the south). When you go in the smell just overwhelms you (in a good way, of course) and you hear " Hocu" or "zhelim." My personal favorite Serbian dish is Cevapcici (see above), it's a mix of pork, beef, and lamb... yea Serbs we combined 3 types of meats to make one awesome dish.
Waffles (dessert)

Waffles are my favorite dessert... it's just ahhhh, it's hmmm, IT'S JUSTTTTT SO GOOOODDDD.... usually i would be able to tell you what's in it but matters from place to place/ serbian mom to serbian mom so it's a secret.

YUMMY YUMMY!!!!

She is happier on the inside. Promise!

I'm very picky when it comes to Indian food because I feel a lot of places are killing what should be delicious. My favorite place is Mahal Palace. We always get greeted with a smile and a "nice to see you." I will admit I have a bad habit of ordering the same thing every time I go somewhere, therefore, I order a mango lassi, sag paneer, chicken masala, naan, and lamb chops. Every dish is cooked and seasoned perfectly. I promise, I would never send you to a place that stunk. Trust me, I know my food. Sag Paneer, Chicken Masala, Naan
Lamb Chops nomommomo

it's simple things in life

Yesterday, my friend and I went to a pop shop and got a sour string. We both haven't had them in such a long time because things like calories matter to us now. I miss the days when food didn't have consequences and I could eat all the sour strings I wanted cause they are mighty tasty.

Paella de Key Biscane

I don't even... I don't know what to say about el gran inka. I have been going Key Biscayne (MIAMI) ever since i can remember and we go to this restaurant every night. I get the paella every night sooooo it's good soooo go there
