I love my friends I can spend months without seeing each other but when we do we have a fabulous time. My really wonderful friend Beverly is one of those people. We did not get a chance before the Holidays to get together so right after we met for Brunch at Maialino (little Piggy) at 2 Lexington Avenue inside the Gramercy Park Hotel. Maialino is a Roman Trattoria with a chic New York City Market feel. Executive Chef Nick Anderer is fabulous with his use of Local fresh ingredients. We started with a Honey butter Glazed Pork Biscuit that had the perfect bite of all the ingredients. Next we shared a Porchetta, which is a Roast Pork with Friend Egg Sandwich and Ricotta Pancakes with a side of Market Fruit Jam and Fresh Ricotta with a Side of Patate al Forno - Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary. Everything was so fresh and so tasty. Sometimes when you go for Brunch everything winds up tasting the same and all flavors blend together but this was different and tasty. I definitely have to try dinner to see what Chef Nick does for that. It is still Restaurant week and they have an amazing menu for that if you are in the area definitely go in. Lucky Guests of the Gramercy Hotel get to stay at a wonderful Hotel that has a wonderful restaurant inside.
Next we stopped at ABC Carpet and Home for some shopping. Their displays are Fabulous.
Beverly also gifted me with some sweet, adorable gifts! She made these amazing Sweet/Salty Caramels and I actually have 1 saved for Valentine's Day! lol Yes they are so amazing.
I love the blond/red haired nudie dollie and Beverly was so sweet that when she found it she thought of me. She also made the adorable Pink girl from a kit she purchased from Pam Huntington.
Beverly always touches my heart with all she does. I so enjoy her company and she is so amazingly talented.
So call a friend you haven't seen in a while and plan a date!
