snack: best lamb sandwich around
i guess i’m on a bit of a sandwich phase right now — or maybe it is just this sweltering heat (and i love the heat so that’s saying something) but snack really has a great one, worth even going to soho for. this tiny greek restaurant on a charming block of thompson street has just a few tables but some great dining. snack has a full greek menu, but i have to admit we have never been able to move beyond the braised lamb sandwich. soft ciabatta bread, a savory tomato aioli combined with a little bit of bite from some arugula and the tenderest lamb around make this the perfect filling meal. snack also has a sibling snack taverna that i’ve never tried in the west village (corner of bedford and morton) which might be good for summer. snack, 105 thompson street near prince street, manhattan, new york, .

with two small and darling kids and one lovely husband who all occasionally need some amount of tending to as well as a full-time job, this blog is an excuse for me to explore the streets of new york, with a focus on brooklyn -- my home -- and manhattan, for those great little finds that seem to appear randomly on all sorts of blocks around new york but are sometimes hidden from plain view. i gravitate toward small, beautiful, independent places with interesting things, fantastic and friendly service and mostly affordable stuff (or at least an excellent value) and food that is extremely tasty, reasonable and in a great space -- though taste will trump design every time. to help put all these ideas in one place, i also will provide a series of new york mini-guides. in each of these, i will highlight something fun to do and then give some food, shop and doing suggestions nearby. these mini-guides, soon to be accompanied by mini-maps, will help to fill an afternoon -- where to pick up a snack, what shops to check out nearby and is there a really sweet little park along the way for a much needed rest. and i am always looking for ideas -- so if you have any suggestions for where to eat and shop or what to do please let me know. . you can also follow me on twitter at cherrypatter.
and for those of you more interested in the photos, i have absolutely no photography training and while i have been picking up a few tidbits here and there, mostly i think the credit for the photos goes to my lovely camera. it is a canon rebel xti, and the lens i use most of the time is the 50 mm 1:1:8. i also have a 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 for longer views.

Wow! This looks amazing! I am a huge fan of sandwiches and an even bigger fan of NYC – you lucky thing!;) I am a London girl, but get over as often as I can. Great blog. Please take a peek at mine if you fancy a view from England from time-to-time!
