David Burke, Soho, New York

Recently I tried an amazing restaurant in Soho called David Burke's Kitchen. The restaurant is beautiful. It has a barn-yard feel with its crisp images of produce, poultry, and farmers on the walls. There is gingham accents sprinkled throughout the place, such as the table napkins and woven baskets. The ceilings are wood planks, the tables are bare wood, the beautiful "tree-house" bar is wood, and there is a visible beautiful wood carving station. It is downstairs of the James Hotel but it feels like a modern airy industrial loft with its high ceilings and infinite windows that are street-level. The food is unique and modern American, presented in the creative and whimsical style that is Burke’s trademark. The ingredients taste like they are the highest quality, as if it were fresh off the farm. Whether you choose to go here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you won't be disapointed by the quality or the service.

Hudson Station, New York City

Last Friday, I woke up feeling hung-over, even though I really wasn't. So for lunch, I was just craving a big juicy burger. Luckily, a few of my co-workers were going to this bar and grill around my job called Hudson Station in New York City, so I decided to hop on. When I saw how the burger was served on the menu, I was instantly hooked! I love a burger on a english muffin! And dont even get me started on waffle fries! I love anything potato, but my favorite fries are waffle and the skinny variety :) I'll let the photo speak for itself, but needless to say, it was delicious!
