A Day in NYC

I don’t travel too often for work, but this week I’m in NYC for a work event. It made for an interesting and busy day yesterday, but I managed to capture a few scenes on my phone. What did we do before iphones? I’ll keep this day of meals simple for a little What I Ate Wednesday in NYC. I arrived yesterday afternoon (and I’m heading out this morning) so it’s been a very quick trip.

Breakfast

I ate a hearty breakfast before heading to the airport, since I knew it might be awhile before I was able to catch lunch. I did the protein powder in the yogurt trick to give this bowl a little more staying power.

Lunch

After arriving in NYC, I had to get some work done before our event later in the evening. I ate while working, which was actually quite peaceful, despite the flurry of e-mails.

I stopped by a little Indian restaurant that was around the corner from my hotel, and loaded up on a vegetable curry with a little rice and naan. It was really filling, which was good since I knew I wouldn’t be eating dinner at a reasonable hour.

Dinner

Our event was at the Plaza, which was quite elegant. I was working most of the evening, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to grab a bite. After the event ended, I was able to snag a few bites and a glass of wine. (Nothing like carbs + cheese!) But I saved some of my appetite for a real dinner later.

We went to a really cool French restaurant called Rue 57 that had everything, so we ended up ordering a lot of small plates to share. I had some beet salad with goat cheese, some “street” corn, and a whole bunch of french fries. I also had a little wine and a few cups of tea. *Whew* I guess you have to eat a lot when you’re only in the big city for a day!

What’s on your plate today?
