A friend recently returned from a business trip to NYC. It got me thinking of some of my favorite restaurants down in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Next time I hit the Big Apple, you will find me at one of these places.<\/p>\n
Balthazar would be my first choice. There is great bar seating and awesome bakery for the AM pastry\/cafe au lait. Traditional French bistro fare. Lobster rolls are foreign in Seattle. Ed’s are awesome. I enjoy the bar seating and the clean hole-in-the-wall feel. Originally read about this one in Forbes. Stands for “French Orgine”. French and North Africa influences which take me back to my wild trip to Morocco back in ’99. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A friend recently returned from a business trip to NYC.
