Chegamos às 10,15 PM.
Fomos muito bem acolhido pelo empregado que nos sentou na mesa que escolhemos, na rua pois estava uma noite magnífica. A experiência dos "pierogis" foi muito positiva, o porco estava saboroso e o número de fatias chegava perfeitamente para duas pessoas, as batatas fritas dentro do razoável.
Posted on May 10, 2015 by eyechow Sorry if you’re seeing this twice – the scheduler on my WordPress has been acting up so some posts have been sent out / put up early by mistake. So here’s today’s post! Wow, it’s been awhile since the last Sunday Brunch post. Brunch is my favorite meal, but sadly, I now work weekends so no more Sunday brunch for me :( Kiyo and I have tried to go a few times here in Honolulu, between my work and teaching, but by the time we get there (around 1 or 2) all the most popular items are sold out. Plus, I have to rush back to work or teaching afterwards. No fun. Hopefully soon I will have one weekend day off per week (fingers crossed)! Last year around this time – or was it Autumn? They are so similar and both are the best times in New York, when it’s sunny and cool but not too cold – my friend Geneve was visiting NYC so we met up for a day in Brooklyn. I drove from Queens – the only acceptable way to get there. The subway route between the two boroughs is a nightmare! We somehow ended up at a Polish “diner” called Teresa’s, but it was more like a café than a diner. We got a nice table outside and shared a few items: halubky, which I love (my grandmother makes the Russian version all the time). It is meat and sometimes rice, vegetables and even bacon, stuffed inside a cabbage leaf, baked in tomato soup. Delicious. We also had dumplings (pierogi) and some sort of sausage… there was a good amount of meat, which is typical of a Polish meal. On the side, beets, of course… And a cucumber salad (salad, according to many Eastern Europeans and all Russians, involves mayo). Maybe not really a brunch-style meal, but tasty nonetheless. I thought it was simple but solid Polish fare. Afterwards, we drove to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Since we were already playing tourists, we took some photos with this statue in the parking lot.
Best Blintzs Ever. I had the Polish platter and a half order of blueberry blintzs (1 blintz). The platter was very good and authentic Polish. I particularly liked the pierogies. However, what really bowled me over was the blintz. I thought I was in heaven. It was crispy but not greasy, full of ricotta and blueberries. Clearly these are the best blintzs I have had anywhere in the USA. I am making this my go-to place for brunch in the future.
