The Temporary Vegetarian: Five Vegetables and 15-Grain Rice Pot
nyt style roast pig
After extensive research I'm going to say that Zaitzeff has the best burgers in the East Village. And not that I would know this from personal experience or anything, but they deliver in a huge radius, and the burgers actually travel well. The house made Portuguese bun is key.
18 Avenue B, between 2nd and 3rd streets. You won't be sorry. (I like the sirloin over the kobe.)
Bring it on (the $10 sauce anyway)!!
Urbani Truffles Opens in New York
Glass vases are piled with truffles in the windows of the sleek new American headquarters of Urbani Truffles. It’s a combination showroom, demonstration kitchen and sales office, like the one Urbani runs in Umbria, Italy, near Spoleto. And it is open to shoppers, who will find an array of truffles. The only fresh ones in season now are the big summer truffles on display, black outside, taupe inside, with a scent like white truffles. There are truffle products of all kinds, including oils and paste. A delightful newcomer is a line of truffle sauces in eight combinations: white truffles with white mushrooms or porcini; and summer truffles with artichokes, tomatoes, mushrooms, cream or red or green pesto. Though a mere six ounces, each can provides enough deeply flavorful sauce for two to four servings of pasta. The sauces can also be stirred into risotto or served with grilled meats, fish or eggs.
Urbani Truffles, 10 West End Avenue (60th Street), (212) 247-8800, urbanitrufflesonline.com. Truffle Thrills pasta sauces are $9.95 for 6.1 ounces.
