Burger and the Bard

Over Memorial Day weekend, I met my friend Rob for dinner before seeing the final dress rehearsal of Hamlet at the Delacorte (Shakespeare in the Park).

We dined at Big Nicks (upper west side). The bacon cheeseburger I had was DELICIOUS. The patty was thick and cooked perfectly the way I like (well done). Check it out if you're ever in the area!

Great Jones Cafe

Last Friday night Amy and I met some friends, Bill (a fellow Nebraskan) and his wife Susan for dinner at Great Jones Cafe, located on, well, Great Jones street. This cajun and creole eatery is a perfect place to eat on a cold rainy night, and as luck would have it, it was cold and rainy that night.

We got there at 7pm and got a table easily. The place quickly fills up soon after. I had a bacon cheeseburger which was delicious. The bacon was cooked to a perfect crisp and piled on.

I was also eyeing the shrimp roll, which I will have to try next time. Amy had the jambalya which was quite tasty as well. Also, for anyone who craves crawdads, this place is well known for serving them. The people at the next table were clearly enjoying them.

Great Jones Cafe is small and cozy and just down the street from the Public Theatre. So, I have a feeling I will be visiting this place again!
