I really wanted to eat Chicken Pot Pie. So I Googled “Best Chicken Pot Pie NYC” and Serious Eats said it was at Penelope near Kips Bay.
So Sam and I went to eat it. It was pretty pricey at $18. You can buy a lot of Swanson for that price. But it was pretty good. Nice creamy filling.
There sure were a lot of Asians in this place.

They are advertising this Unlimited Chicken Meal (or Vegetarian) for $10 at Anjappar –Monday-Thursday only. Sounds good. Tastes good too!
It came out as a Thali (tray of a variety of different Indian food). Lollipop Tandoori Chicken drumsticks, pickled stuff, curry chicken, lentils, yogurt, brown liquidy thing and a dark purple sludgy thing. I think the dark purple sludge was some kind of slightly sweet chutney, probably made out of fruit.
I really liked this. You could order more of whatever you want. Although, I was good on just one tray though. Filled up.

It was a super hot New York day, when I walked around trying to decide what to eat. I must’ve walked around for 45 mins in that heat, trying to avoid carbs. In the end, I ended up at Luu’s Baguette in Kips Bay and ordered a hot bowl of Pho Noodles. I don’t know if I was stupid or just delirious. It was a pretty good bowl though.
I got the Pho Tai (Raw Beef of Eye Round $6.95). They weren’t kidding. It was quite rare in the middle of the slices, which made it a little chewy. But overall, it was rather good. Super quick and pretty cheap for not having to go to Chinatown.
I saw a guy eating the Banh Mi sandwich. It looked really big.

Let me also take the opportunity to promote my label’s newest release —The Levitations. It was an album that was supposed to come out about 13 years ago by a guy that used to be in the The Rock*A*Teens. He’s now a peach farmer in Georgia and most of it still remains a mystery. It’s real dirty rock n roll. Out on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc.
