Pizza in a Cone - Hellz Yeah!

I do not usually like to reference the enemy, NYMag.com, but they do have a lot of good articles about new restaurants opening up.

When I saw this one I had to write about it.

K!Pizzacone just opened up in midtown Manhattan today. It is on 33rd and 5th in that no-mans land near the Empire State Building. My fav cuz lives around there so I perhaps will take him on date here.

K!Pizzacone is actually pizza in a cone like shape. I belive a lot of my friends gave up pizza for lent. Good thing I am a jew and don't have to do things like that.

Anyway, what is awesome about this place is that you get to pick what you what in your pizzacone. They have two sauces types, tomato and pesto. I would get pesto (obvi), mozzerella cheese, garlic and maybe chicken. They also have standard choices as well. I am picky so I would pick my own.

I doubt this is as good as a NYC slice, but it is a fun concept that is a welcomed in NYC.
Please comment if you have tried this yourself. I am really interested in how it is.

Mesa Grill - Super Chill

It turns out pretty much every time I have a client lunch the topic of my blog comes up. Probably because it is so freaking rad, everyone around me always wants to talk about it.

Today I went with my girl TSwan and a new client to Mesa Grill. It was my second time there. The first time was for brunch a couple of years ago, but I cant remember what I had to save my life.

Today when I went I was pleasantly surprised with the Grill. The ambiance is lovely and is located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC, 5th Ave - Flatiron.

I started with a salad which was by far the weakest part of my meal, Sophie's Chopped Salad. Not sure who Sophie is, but we sure have different taste in salad. There was no description on the menu so I figured it was just lettuce and some veggies chopped up. Plain and simple, nope not at all. It was filled with all types of beans, olives, tomatoes, cheese and just a little bit of lettuce. Others might like it, but not for me.

For my entree I got the shrimp tacos and they were AWESOME!!! It was a relatively small size, 8 little shrimp, 2 tortillas, slaw and three spreads, a green salsa, some yummy yellow sauce and guac! Even though I thought the portion was kinda small, it actually filled me. The shrimp and all the accompaniments were just delicious. I really could not ask for more.

I didn't get dessert but I did get a cappuccino that was perfect. It really hit the spot.

My dining companions also seemed happy with their choices. They got Tuna Nachos that got good reviews, a burger that looked huge and delicious and a fancy Cobb salad.

Sadly, there were some stomach aches after, but that is just par for the course sometimes my friends.

Good job Bobby Flay, my crush on you will continue!
