The pancakes at Fatty ‘Cue barely qualify as breakfast, but they sure are delicious!
A month or so ago (when it was shockingly hot out, which I can’t believe was only just recently), Aron and I shared an absolutely wonderful smoked-brisket sandwich in the dining room of Fatty ‘Cue, an offshoot of one of our favorite spots–Fatty Crab*–that sits under the Williamsburg bridge. Then we pretty much devoured the South East Asian-inspired pineapple-coconut-dessert masquerading as pancakes over some very tasty cocktails. These might stray a bit off the traditional mark as far as pancake taste-tests go, but they were awfully good. (Just look how excited Aron is!)
*Seriously: Fatty Crab’s pickled watermelon and crispy pork belly salad just may be my favorite dish in the city. (Depending on what time of day you ask me, of course.)
On the north end of Tribeca, on the shores of the Hudson, a new pier has opened. Ashley and I love strolling along the west side of the island, and were excited to see the construction finished and pier 25–filled with people–walkable. It starts with what must be the most amazingly located skate park, where some kids with serious skill (and some without) were breaking-in the concrete edges. From there, the pier juts out, affording amazing views for the kids playing on jungle gyms, climbing walls, and swings–and even better ones for beach volleyball players and miniature golfers that will soon be able to play on the new grounds. If it were 50 degrees warmer this past weekend, that’s where I’d have been!
P.S. Ashley would add that the parents were the most beautiful, stylish parents we’d seen yet at a playground, and included Harvey Keitel pushing a tot in a swing.
