Faboo Food in the Big Apple

I must say there's nothing quite like a trip to the Big City to remind you just how incredibly out of style and non-hip you are, but one thing I do enjoy is the incredible food you can find there.  We stayed right in the Broadway region, so there are plenty of tourist traps.  I thought some research was in order.  We found a place called the Eatery off the Wicked website and thought we'd try it out for Brunch (it can't be referred to as Breakfast or Lunch on the weekends- didn't you know?) and it was scrumptious and inexpensive.  It's supposedly always crowded and a favorite of the city natives.  I had Vanilla Waffles with Carmel Ice Cream and Orange Candied Pecans with Vermont Maple Syrup- ya, it was good! 
After the show we happened upon a South African restaurant called Braai. It was probably the most we've ever personally paid for food (we don't get out much, so this may not be saying much), but it was by far one of the best places we've ever been to as well- it was worth every penny!  I can't even begin to describe what we ate, so I'm going to copy it from their site- although I will say that we both tried ostrich for the first time and loved it!

Ribbetjies- Pork Ribs: Char-grilled pork back ribs with soft spinach, truffle-coconut polenta “pap” & rooibios-chocolate glaze 
African Road Runner: Pan-seared, herb-crusted ostrich filler with curried coconut mashed potatoes, green beans, pear onions with a blackberry peri-peri sauce.

And don’t forget dessert (it was divine):Malva Pudding: Traditional soft sponge pudding, carmelized banana & vanilla ice cream on a bed of granadilla-amarula custard.

Koeksisters: Sweetly spiced dough pastry, orange yogurt mousse rooibios ginger honey sauce with tropical fruit sorbet. 

I figure we walked all over the city, so my waistline isn't completely damaged afterward. :)
