Good Eats
There is perhaps no food that is more New York than the bagel. I picked up some incredible ones from All American Bagel & Barista in Howard Beach this week.
Speaking of classic NYC dishes, I was craving a Rueben sandwich this week. I had a great one from Queens Bagels and Delicatessen in Forest Hills.
Lou and I were recently given an Air Fryer and have been experimenting with it. For a less guilty way to enjoy fries try these instructions for cooking frozen fries in the air fryer. They came out crispy and perfect.

Have Some Fun

I just finished Volume Nine of the manga series Beastars. I highly recommend the series as well as the animated version. You can catch season one on Netflix.
My niece’s birthday is coming up and I picked up some gifts for her at my favorite Children’s Bookstore – Books of Wonder. If you aren’t in NYC, you can order from them online.
We just ordered Volume 10 of Beastars and I can’t wait for it to arrive from Midtown Comics.
