We started our 4th solar daytime inward New York with a Wholefoods breakfast inward Union Square in addition to laid off to walk the High Line (see slideshow above). This light-green strip sits a twosome of storeys higher upward Manhattan's roads in addition to sidewalks, on a quondam West Side freight track work that's been converted in addition to maintained yesteryear the community. It was pretty, with abundant flowers at this fourth dimension of year, in addition to also real hot.
By the fourth dimension nosotros were done I was craving about shade in addition to a drink, I was lucky to secure both of these at the pop Taim falafel house. These guys are vegetarian yesteryear virtue of skipping the kebabs in addition to concentrating on falafel inward 3 flavours: traditional balls of bright light-green with parsley, coriander in addition to mint; spicier harissa fritters; in addition to sweetness roasted cherry pepper morsels. We sampled them all inward a mixed platter (US$12 AU$12.70) on a bed of hummus, with thick za'atar-sprinkled pita, tabouli in addition to and Israeli tomato-cucumber salad on the side, trialling unlike combinations of their spicy S'rug sauce, Amba mango chutney in addition to tahini yoghurt. The sandwiches in addition to salads nosotros saw others ordering looked but every bit good, in addition to nosotros noticed clearly-marked vegan in addition to gluten-free options.
In my dehydrated state, I was smitten yesteryear their pineapple in addition to kokosnoot smoothie (US$5.50 AU$5.80). I daydreamed virtually its creamy-icy tropical flavor on several later on hot days inward the city.
We took it slow inward the afternoon in addition to visited vegan establishment Blossom for dinner. Here nosotros shared:
- crab-like Cape Cod cakes (US$11 AU$11.70) with an first-class tartar sauce,
- sophisticated seitan scallopini (US$22 AU$23.40) on a bed of mashed potatoes in addition to sauteed kale inward a white wine, lemon in addition to caper sauce,
- pistachio-crumbed tofu (US$21 AU$22.30) perched betwixt a sweetness potato-stuffed crepe bundle in addition to a tangle of frisee lettuce, and
- a real sweetness coconut-based loving cup of tiramisu (US$11 AU$11.70).
We actually liked their agency with sauces, in addition to I mused that I'd similar to prepare a amend intuition for them inward my ain cooking. Otherwise the nutrient in addition to environs was comfortable but a touching on dated - nosotros imagined how exciting in addition to innovative it mightiness accept been 10 or xv years ago.
With dinner done, nosotros laid off for an unforgettable theater sense - Sleep No More. Punchdrunk theater companionship accept claimed 4 floors of a quondam hotel every bit their stage, decking them out with cobwebbed crucifixes, bedrooms, store fronts in addition to real picayune lighting. Actors stem the rooms, performing an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth, in addition to the audience are masked voyeurs who wander the hotel at their whim, complimentary to rifle through papers, touching on trinkets in addition to chase the action. There's blood in addition to dance, sex, nudity in addition to death. It's utterly immersive, in addition to something nosotros talked virtually for hours afterwards.
As nosotros approached our apartment, nosotros finished with a midnight snack from Van Leeuwen's icecream truck. Their vegan flavours are a clever splice of kokosnoot in addition to cashew milks, their chocolate in addition to pistachio flavours (totalling US$5.75 AU$6.10) rating alongside my best always vegan icecream experiences.
