We went to dinner at Apizz, an Italian restaurant in the Lower East Side. The food was tasty and very filling. The interior was dark and cozy; I don't mean it was small. They have a wood burning oven where they do most of their cooking.



This was a very tasty dessert, reminds me of almond pudding served in Chinese restaurants during dim sum.

This week is Restaurant Week in NYC. Participating restaurants are offering pre fixe menus at lunch and at dinner. Lunch cost $24.07 and I think dinner is $35. My colleagues and I went to lunch at Morimoto over in the Meatpacking District. Chef Morimoto is the fames Iron Chef for both Iron Chef (Japan) and Iron Chef America. These shows are shown on the Food Network and you can find out more information about these shows on their website. The interior of the restaurant is designed by world renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The restaurant offers Japanese food with a non-Japanese twist. We each ordered the sushi entree. It was a very good portion. I was filled. The fish were not slimy or wet looking as is offered in other sushi restaurants. I had my camera for the lunch and took these photos.



For a closer look at the restaurant, take a look at the photo album.
