I am planning to visit
The Big Apple,
New York City, in 2009. I have accepted a challenge and I will eat a hot & spicy
curry dish called
Phaal at
Brick Lane Curry House restaurant (306-308, East 6th Street, New York, NY 10003). As a
chile head, I am looking forward to
maximize the
heat level, but I don't think I will order a
hot and spicy chai tea drink together with the food. I will drink
lassi instead. I will prepare myself a bit by sprinkle hot sauces on my food as much and often as I can. Recently I poured some drops of
Mad Dog's revenge habanero and chile extract at my carne casada bontaña no bean chili at
Texas Longhorn restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden. The sauce extract has a level of 1,000,000 scoville units. It got too hot for me, so the waitress took and switched the plate and gave me some fresh nacho chips with a new side dish.
Please give me suggestions on what I should see and do in NYC. I am not sure that I am capable of
visiting the location of the former
World Trade Center. Have you been at the
Ground Zero Museum Workshop?
Un MemoriamUPDATE: [
Editor's note: P.S. Now you understand why
I have added a
Moleskine City
Notebook New York to
my wish list...]
You should try hitting a Mario Batali restaurant
ReplyDeleteThe best view of the city is from the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. Yes, it's a bit touristy, but totally worth it, especially at sunset.
ReplyDeleteThere are tons of restaurants here I'd recommend. It really just depends on what you feel like eating!
I liked your hot and spicy chai recipe! If you want to visit tea places in NYC, you should check out my site, VeeTea.com. I have a hot and spicy chai recipe there, along with lots of mentions of my favorite spots for tea in NYC. Enjoy your trip!
