food and drink around the world: Prune: 1, 2, 3

Friday night: Zubair and nothing but sweetbreads at Prune.
Saturday morning: brunch at Prune.
And then on Sunday evening, Zubair and I found ourselves once again drawn there, this time for a tasting of their 10th anniversary menu, with a side of bone marrow. I think we have a new favourite neighborhood spot ^_^

There are four seats at the bar, and we always sit at the two closest to the kitchen. Our favourite bartender is a incredibly sweet woman, she is awesome with the drinks and just stunning.

After our late Friday snack, we tucked away in bed, and woke up early the next morning. To start the day: Abraço. Drip coffee to go, a walk down to Russ & Daughters and then Prune.

We arrived as they opened for Saturday brunch and only had a brief 15 minute wait - not bad at all. We shared two entrees and a side order of housemade lamb sausages.

First up, steak and eggs - a 7 oz. prime dry-aged ribeye with parsley-shallot butter and two eggs, toasted English muffin and potatoes rosti...

...and an order of the Fried Oyster Omelette with Remoulade Sauce. And Tabasco + powdered sugar to dip on the side.

Take a peek inside ^_^

At brunch, licorice coins comes with the check. But during dinner you get chunks of Belgian chocolate.

Post-brunch, we spent the rest of Saturday running errands, knicks and knacks. I had dinner with Robyn, and we both went to the SWEET fest. And the next evening, after a day on the Upper East and West, we were back...

...this time for the special prix fixe dinner. We tacked on an order of bone marrow. Because. I tell you, that bone marrow is insane.

Love the marrow at Minetta Tavern, as well as Blue Ribbon's version, but this is by far my favourite. Oysters and chocolate may be aphrodisiacs for some people, but it's bone marrow that goes on my list :)
