Queens Comfort

If you are ever in the mood to completely clog you arteries while enjoying every bite, Queens Comfort is your place. Queens Comfort is a hot spot with the locals and that's exactly how I was told about it. My friend and Astoria local, Phanavanh, introduced me to Queens Comfort last weekend and since then I swear I want to live in Astoria. I maybe exaggerating a tiny bit about moving, but the food was just SO GOOD.

I was planning on reading over the menu when I sat down in the tiny, crowed restaurant but my mind was instantly made up when I glanced at the plate next to me. I said "I'll have that!" The server walked away and I said to Phanavanh "I don't even know what I just ordered." Fear not though, I do have an eye for amazing food after all!

Fried Mac N' Cheese

After a short wait, our food arrived. Phanavanh dove into some fabulous Chicken and Waffles and I had a breakfast sandwich with the best tots ever. The sandwich was scrambled egg, cheese and fried sausage patty with a dollop of a tangy cranberry sauce on an English muffin. OH MY GOODNESS. It was mind blowing and I didn't want it to end. But eventually it did, so we paid then bill and went and got mani pedis. Five star day all the way.

Brunch at Clinton Street Baking Company and Restaurant

Clinton Street Baking Company and Restaurant has been voted "Best Pancakes" by New York Magazine two times! But lets not get it twisted, this place is much more than just a pancake joint.

In 2001, husband and wife team Neil Kleinberg and DeDe Lahman, began a journey to be known as having the best baked goods in the city that were hand-mixed in small batches. Today they have most definitely achieved their goal and the success tastes so, so sweet. So sweet in fact, their customer are willing to wait for the goods. The normal wait time for brunch on a Saturday morning is a few hours...and people do it with no hesitation.

When you walk into the tiny restaurant, you see the kitchen and everyone that works in it, all the patrons enjoying their food, the freshly bakes goods in the small case and the employees who look really thrilled to be at work. The case in the front contains all kinds of yummy goodness such as: muffins, cakes, pies, scones, cornbread, etc.

The Brunch, lunch and dinner menu consists of many mouthwatering options like Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter, Clinton Street Omelette and the Fried Chicken Sandwich. For a first-timer like myself deciding what to order was a really tough decision. Luckily, my friend Angela was along for the journey and we shared the Fried Chicken Sandwich and Brioche French Toast. 

So let me guess...this all sounds fantastic but you don't have time for a 2 hour wait for brunch? No problem Clinton Street Bakery delivers. They also have takeout and a fabulous way to pre-order cakes and pies for your next event.

Clinton Street Baking Company and Restaurant is located at 4 Clinton Street NY, NY 10002. For more information visit their website here.

Boston Baby

Recently my boyfriend Alex and I took a bus trip to Boston to see all these cool cats. The hotties in plaid were our hosts for the weekend. Steph (in the tan) traveled from Michigan and Annie (in white) traveled from Pennsylvania. We all haven't seen each other for years and we had such a wonderful reunion in Boston. Obviously though the best part about it was all the amazing food we ate!

 One of our outings was to the Sam Adam's Brewery. It was super fun because it was free and everyone knows that free is fan-freaking-tastic in my book. So we took a 45 minuet tour with a hilarious tour guide and got free beer at the end. Fun times. You should go!

Moving on to the more important part of the weekend...Sunday Brunch. After we all peeled ourselves out of bed on Sunday afternoon we took a short walk to what I would soon refer to as "the best brunch in Boston." Upon entering S & S Restaurant I expected a typical not so flavorful brunch. I clearly got it wrong. People were packed into this place like beans in a can. There were tons of people patiently waiting for a chance to sit and enjoy brunch. We were seated reasonably fast (thank gosh for call ahead seating!) and got right down to the good stuff. When brunch arrived we were all so happy and the best part is every breakfast is served with a side of fresh fruit!

This place had such delicious options and I think I might make a trip back to Boston just to come here again. It's a great family atmosphere with a friendly staff and cheap prices! Can't get much better. Check out S&S Restaurant at Inman Square 1334 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA 02139 next time your in town.
