No frills (and i only go when there is not a line out the door) for a quick, cheap bacon cheeseburger and <br />$2 Mcsorley's ale. All for Under $10. <br />I guess it is nostalgic for me, good memories with great friends, comforting that it is always the same year after year. I especially enjoy going in the fall after a walk around the West Village.<br /><br />In order to keep this blog current, and free of chastising ;) I will add my friend Duffy's favorite picks here, as well.... <br /><br />"best burger is NYC is lunch burger at <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.peterluger.com/">Peter Luger's</a></span>.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://thestonedcrownyc.com/">Stoned Crow</a></span> is the Corner Bistro burger 2.0<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">other favorites</span><br /><a href="http://brgr.us/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">BRGR</span></a><br /><a href="http://www.restonyc.com/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Resto</span></a>"<br />Thanks Duff!<br /><br />he also mentioned a very top secret burger spot, that i have sworn to secrecy not to divulge, but maybe after my trip to NY in October and testing it out myself i will add it here.jessica brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01004268864768983053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338652181132081416.post-51942680668775329982009-09-13T18:18:00.000-07:002009-09-14T13:03:57.366-07:00When In Palm Springs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoRZXsuvf2ij7Y62gghmEkrT6E2UtSAUiBsbm4dqMOSBlNRjjR47Vd1yFdrelxkoJ0Lt2DfvwFOEN_qJvTDMQRD4nttAk-U2OSx9hQDycebulGWgO2ler-1q04hmeQ2O1IAkEwnT2F1bE/s1600-h/cd-00096-cgreetings-from-palm-springs-skier-and-swimmer-posters.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoRZXsuvf2ij7Y62gghmEkrT6E2UtSAUiBsbm4dqMOSBlNRjjR47Vd1yFdrelxkoJ0Lt2DfvwFOEN_qJvTDMQRD4nttAk-U2OSx9hQDycebulGWgO2ler-1q04hmeQ2O1IAkEwnT2F1bE/s320/cd-00096-cgreetings-from-palm-springs-skier-and-swimmer-posters.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381129394736552642" /></a><br />EAT here:<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.lascasuelas.com/">Las Casuelas </a></span>request the terrraza, order the shrimp fajitas<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.lgsprimesteakhouse.com/">LG's Steakhouse</a></span> amazing filet mignon<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.cheekysps.com/">Cheeky's</a></span> breakfast and lunch great menu<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.kofficoffee.com/">Koffi</a></span> best coffee and espresso. modern design, nestled in cute courtyard.<br />Take the <a href="http://www.pstramway.com/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Palm Springs Tram</span></a> up to Idylwild, (my childhood home) for a snack atop the mountain. <br />or drive up the mountain and eat @ <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/jans-red-kettle-idyllwild"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jan's Red Kettle</span></a>, order the BLT. <br /><br />on the way back to LA after you detour to say hi to the Dinosaurs, don't forget to stop @ <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.hadleyfruitorchards.com/">Hadley's</a></span> for a date shake and a garden burger.

The truth of it is...wherever I am visiting, and how ever many sites I am dying to see, first and foremost, I am excited to eat. <br />I will plan my entire visit around a "must eat here" list.<br />Sometimes this takes careful planning, other times it requires a 6 meal day. <br />I love to eat great food. I love telling others where they "<span style="font-style:italic;">have</span>" to eat. In an effort to...... <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">a.</span> not be pushy and <span style="font-weight:bold;">b.</span> have a forum for friends and others to read about my new favorites (and tried and true spots) on their own time....I am starting this here blog.<br />I will be highlighting my favorite places to eat from all my favorite places I've traveled....Along with commentary of other shops and scenery to visit in the area of your dining place.<br />I hope you enjoy and return often.<br />happy eating!jessica brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01004268864768983053noreply@blogger.com0
