Unfortunately the bread was not good, it was more like a hoagie roll, soft with no the crisp at all.

Is that goat or beef birria in that burrito?
It was beef
Hi @PorkyBelly,
Nice pics! 
So how was Orsa & Winston overall? Also, I thought they only had 6 Course or 20 Course Tasting Menus? (Where are the rest of your pics?! ;))
Worth going?

Thanks @Chowseeker1999, i ordered alc at o&w, the satsuki okayu was outstanding. Here’s what i wrote in the orsa & winston thread:
@PorkyBelly I would be so very annoyed that there is no Japanese breakfast, that’s my favorite.

Downtown today with my child.

This was so good! I tasted a little bit without the pepperoni and it tasted like what New York pizza should taste like. Sauce was slightly sweet and lightly applied, not too heavy on the gooey cheese, and the crust was crispy and charred on the edges and not soupy or too thin in the center. We both really liked it.
Wexler’s Deli
Smoked sturgeon on everything bagel with capers and onion (which I picked off). Eh,it’s a bagel with cream cheese. The sturgeon had the texture of a slice of roast turkey. It was one thin slice, dry and flavorless, with a whiff of fishiness. I’ll stick to Gjusta for my fish bagels.
_McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream
Dessert for the boy, mint and chip and chocolate. He liked it. I tasted the Meyer lemon and marionberry, it didn’t taste like very much of either and was a bit chalky.
Oyster place. I forget the name, but it’s the only one.
Dessert for me. Fresh and tasty, two Fannie Bay oysters and one from Washington. They don’t list the oysters, so I had to ask. They had those two, plus Mexican oysters, so be careful of ordering the “chef’s choice” plate. I’m glad I asked. Very friendly service.
And a final pic from Grand Central, we didn’t get anything here, but they have the longest lines in the market other than Eggslut! So if you like Mexican, you may want to check them out.

MB POST
Took a mid-day drive to Manhattan and ended up getting a parking spot right next to MB Post, and wouldn’t you know it, they had a table open, so we stopped in for a quick nip.

Truffle Honey-laced Fried Chicken (with Kohlrabi Slaw)
_slaw sho_t
I have to say that I’m in the @Aesthete camp of Howlin’ Rays nearly ruining all other fried fowl, but this rendition would make for a very solid brunch dish. The truffle comes through nicely, the chicken is juicy, and it’s an especially nice bite when combined with the tang of the slaw. Still, for $17, I would find it kind of tough to rationalize another order when in the back of my mind, I know that a Howlin’ Rays’ Half Bird is $15.
My cocktail was a bit of a let down, unfortunately. I had The Golden Hind, which is sold as a passion fruit mojito, but all that came through was the Luxardo. A bummer for $12.50. Had a few sips of the Avila’s Heir, which is a spicy margarita, and that was much better, if not memorable.

Afterwards, we walked down to the end of the pier, and I got a nice Flat White from the Two Guns Espresso cafe that sits next to the free lil aquarium.
Weekends are the best.

Finally got our tushes downtown in time for the START of the Tuna show at Little Tokyo Market (aka the old Woori Market) Saturday.
Got to watch amazing knife skills with a whole tuna. Free sashimi samples and you could pick your cut to take home. Got to nab my fav sesame oil on sale and, ran to Daiso and stocked up on my fav Milkita candy. (The melon.)
Then hit Scoops on York on the way home.
Dinner that night? The killer tuna. Homemade sushi rice. Steamed spinach with a few drops of sesame oil, salt and pepper. And some extra sushi from the little sushi place inside the tokyo market. A tasty great day.

Truffle Honey-laced Fried Chicken (with Kohlrabi Slaw)
[/quote]Can I put that on the Fried Chicken Rundown thread @President_Mochi? It would be a good addition for the S. Bay peeps.
Ah! Of course. I actually remembered that thread earlier but forgot to add it there.
No worries. Even I haven’t posted a few things… And it’s my thread 
. Thanks!

they were really, really good and one of my favorite foods growing up in Boston. I had some Thursday night after arriving and again Sunday night. I know Connie & Ted’s supposedly has them, but I have yet to get over there to try them (too bad more places out here don’t have full fried clams). My dad also got some steamers that were HUGE (and delicious). Our server said they’re at their peak size right now compared to the beginning of the season.
On a side note—a friend of the family has a clamming license (which I didn’t know about) and after hearing about our Thurs. nite clam extravaganza was going to go out to the Cape on Sunday to clam and make us a batch of clams casino. Unfortunately it started raining as she was heading out and she didn’t feel like driving to the Cape and back
