La Pecora Bianco Bryant Park


Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all are doing well in this new year. I cannot believe it is March already, time sure flies! 

One of my last visits to the city, I was able to enjoy La Pecora Bianco's Bryant Park location. I must say, this place is as gorgeous as the food itself. The decor is so lovely, and relaxing, and the location is one of my most favorites. I have visited their location in Nomad, but it was much smaller and cramped for my taste. If you are looking for a great spot for any time of the day, this is a good choice! 

Gorgeous decor, am I correct ? 

I visited when it was not that busy which was great, and it was right next to my hotel where I was staying, the amazing Bryant Park Hotel, so fabulous! 

You can tell when the pasta is fresh and it just melts in your mouth! This Tagliatelle
with beef and pork Bolognese was to die for! The portions are very generous as well. 

The meatballs made with beef and pork tasted like my Mom's cooking 




Always a gorgeous view of my favorite building in the city! 

Let me know if you happen to try La Pecora Bianco and how you liked it. With so many locations in the city, it is very easy to pop in while enjoying the sights of the amazing New York City ! 

I will be posting more this year, and I do apologize for the minimal postings. Thank you for stopping by and following my NYC adventures all these years!

Bistro Verde 2023

I cannot believe 4th of July is over! The time sure seems to be flying by! I wanted to give a shout out to a restaurant that I enjoyed prior to COVID and is still fabulous after COVID. Bistro Verde is located in the fabulous Nordstrom store at West 57th Street near Columbus Circle. I was thrilled to be back after a long break, and the food did not disappoint. It's a top notch choice if you are in this area for lunch or dinner. 

When I visited for Memorial Day weekend, I had a seat with a view of their new patio. I am not a fan of eating outside when very humid so opted to stay in the air conditioning. I had the Wild Salmon Oscar which was salmon with lump crabmeat on top. Their menu was very nice for dinner and their prices are affordable for NYC. It was so delish! 



I like the decor, it's very simple and folks are not on top of each other like in some NYC restaurants. It's a great spot for a break, either from shopping or just walking around the city. 

My trip in the middle of May, when I visited the Met, was good but service wasn't as great. They were not busy and yet it seemed to take forever for my order. The food was amazing as usual, this was Wild Salmon Nicoise, yes, I am a huge seafood lover! It was really so fantastic, I would get it again. The portions are very generous as well. 

The lobster bisque is something I have been getting each time I visit as it's just so tasty. 


I would highly recommend a meal here if you are in the area. Their pasta dishes are great as well and prices very reasonable. I can understand sometimes service is not 100% as they may have been short staffed that day. The service on Memorial Day weekend was spot on. 

You can place reservations on Open Table but if you are there on an off time, it's usually easy to obtain a table. Dining outside is lovely if you do not mind the heat in the summer months.
