Chicken and Waffles in New York City - Our last stop in our sisters trip to NYC [3 min read]

New York – what an amazing city. It was my second time, and Julie’s first, so I was so excited to show her what I had seen and tell her all about what it was like for me first to see it. Plus, don’t even get me started on the food. So much food! While compared to London, New York probably doesn’t have that much more eccentric food choices, coming from Geneva, I was in food heaven.

Julie thought she’d give the infamous NYC taxi hail a try.

Strangely enough, it worked! And there I was thinking she was too short to catch a driver’s eye. Just kidding, Jules!

We plomped down in the most adorable joint in East Village and ordered up a storm.

Two jet-tired looking gals.. ready for food! The first place on my to-try list was Root & Bone. Root & Bone was an instagram find of mine, and finally, after stalking and drooling over all their pictures, I was able to get my fingers on their crispy, succulent deep fried chick’n.

Mmmm.

But lets not get ahead of ourselves, shall we?

Starters first, of course!

We kick started the post-travel appetite with some drunken deviled eggs. It was our first time trying deviled eggs, but having seen pictures of the weird texture of the eggs, we were a bit nervous. Even more nervous when the eggs came served… pink.

I skeptically tried it.. and decided then and there that I love deviled eggs. There is nothing wrong with a combination of eggs, egg yolk, and mayo. Perfection. Especially if the egg whites are egg pinks!

Then, they brought out the mains.. and sides… and other extras.

We ordered:

bucket of half a bird of crispy chicken: sweet tea brined, lemon dusted, spiked tabasco honesy chicken
cram cake and warm goat cheese omlette, with green onions
fried chicken & waffle sandwich, served with whiskey maple syrup, on a waffle topped with cheddar.

I cheddar just at the thought of this bad boy. And yes, I am back on my puns people!

For sides we got the root & bone signature bacon, which is bourbon cured and smoked pork belly with spicy maple sauce and this crazy loaded jacket potato topped with cream cheese and more cheesy deliciousness with wait-for-it more sides of pork belly.

We dug in, and somehow, somewhere, we managed to eat it all.

Proudly.

Which of course, called for a celebration, of desserts!

Happily fed, we sped off into the settling blazing sun of New York City and went off to see more of the city’s wonders… like the softest hotel bed and the best post-traveling-and-indulging-nap ever.

Love,

Rosalina
