Jen's Got Vino

It's scooter mania over here. Back in August, I got a Genuine Buddy.
I named it "Bialy", which continues my streak of naming my motor vehicles after bread products, an homage to "Melba Toast" from Dazed & Confused:


With Jen sitting with me on the back of Bialy, we've been scooting around our neighborhood in Brooklyn to run errands and try new restaurants without having to walk 20 minutes.

Jen found a good deal on a Yamaha Vino on Craigslist the other day, so now she's the proud owner.

We haven't picked it up yet, but it's hers. We went yesterday to the West Village to test drive it, and we'll bring it home Sunday. (After test driving it, Keifer Sutherland passed us on the street. I'm just sayin'). Thanksgiving weekend, we're going to motorcycle safety school just to learn to ride a real bike in case we ever decide to upgrade and to get a motorcycle license.

Brooklyn Fish Camp

This might be my new favorite restaurant. I love their menu because
it doesn't give you descriptions of the dish. It will just say
"Grilled Octopus", but it comes out and it's so much more than that.

They really know how to fry stuff here. The onion rings are perfect! There's an option to have your fries or onion rings seasoned with Old Bay, which is cool, but they don't need it.

// Raw oysters, fresh horseradish, cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce

// Grilled octopus and tomatoes with quinoa black bean salad.
Seasoned with some kind of Mediterranean spices that worked really
well, although a little strong. The grilled tomatoes were totally
delicious and a break from the spices.

// Pan-fried trout B.L.T. Crispy trout, arugula, tomato, grilled
bread, and "bacon mayo". They said they cook the bacon and then put
it in food processor, add eggs and make a mayo out of it. Awesome!
