Funny sandwitch names

kom forbi en cafe og opdagende et skilt med hvad de solgte at sandwich, og de havde givet dem ret sjove navne og beskrivelser

Se det er humor.

(passing a cafe and found a signt with the sandwich they sold and they gave them really funny names and descriptions).

Boat Basin Café

Ude ved River Side Park, ligger der en ret så populær restaurant/cafe – og for et stykke tid siden bestemt vi os for for sammen med et vennepar at undersøge hvorfor den er så populær – stedet hedder Boat Basin Café

Til at starte med fik vi afvide at der ville være mellem 30-1,5 times ventetid for at få et bord, men efter 15 min. fik vi et bord (vi tror det det skyldes en fejl med navne).

Vi fik en omgang strawberry daiquiri, som bestemt ikke fejlede noget, også fik vi bestilt maden – når man tænker på hvor mange mennesker der var, så var det en ret god betjening vi fik, og leveringen af maden tog ikke så lang tid som man kunne have forventet, og det smagte godt. Ikke gourmet mad hvis det er det man forventer, men simpelt restaurant/cafe mad.

Stedet ligger nede under en rundkørsel, så grillen er i midten af rundkørslen, ser sjovt ud oppe fra med grillrøgen og man kan dufte stedet på langt afstand pga. grilldruften.

Så hvis I er til et ret populært sted, men mange unge mennesker, så tag hertil, der er godt gang i den, dog må I forvente ventetid på et bord, da man ikke kan bestille bord før man ankommer.

Udsigten mod Hudson River fra hvor vi sad

Boat Basin Café set ude fra River Side Park/Hudson River

Stedet er beliggende: West 79th Street at Hudson River

(Out at Riverside Park, there is a fairly popular restaurant / cafe – and for a while since we decided to order with no friends to explore why it is so popular -The place is called Boat Basin Cafe
When you consider how many people were, so it was a pretty good service we got, and the delivery of food was not so long as one might have expected and it tasted good. Not gourmet food if that is what you would expect, but simple restaurant / cafe food.
You must expect delays on a table, as you can not book a table before you arrive.)

(Blå = steder fra filmen / Lilla = steder fra serien)

Hvis man ikke kan få nok så kan man tage en på bustur som viser en masse steder som er med i serien – se om en mulig tur her: www.screentours.com , og hvis man vil opleve lidt i stilen med SATC så smut ned til Meatpacking district eller Greenwich Village hvor der er en masse barer som er super hyggelige.

Her en par nyttige links med info fra SATC med steder som er brugt rundt omkring i byen:

• NewYork.CitySearch
• iVillage
• NewYork.Metromix

Der findes et hav af sider med info fra serien, men de ovenstående var dem jeg lige syntes virkede spændende med gode lister over spisesteder, cafeer og barer.
