Eating in New York

Last year we renovated our kitchen which used to look like this.

First we gutted it.

Then after a six month ordeal with the contractor from hell we ended up with this.

It's a really pretty kitchen now, perfect for a happy home cook. Although I work for Food Network, I really don't like to cook. But I love to eat and there are so many great, cheap food resources in New York.

Two meals a day I eat bran cereals and fresh fruits. Then I balance it out with less healthy meals from my three favorite quick dinner food spots - all within 300 feet of our apartment.
