Ashley is lucky to work right by Madison Square Park and–on nice days–has the option of spending her lunch there. In the past few weeks, she has frequented Madison Square Eats (a collection of food stalls open 11-9 daily through June 3rd); I’ve been trying to get over there for some time now, and finally made it for some pre-dinner… umm… dinner. There is so much to choose from–Ashley has enjoyed the pizza (spicy “bee sting” with honey and pepper and simple Margherita) as well as the Asia Dogs, but while the line for the Calexico truck is normally at least 25 minutes long (at lunch as per Ashley), there was hardly anyone waiting. We split the Carne asada and the chipotle pork tacos. Both were quite good! And while I enjoyed a beer from the guys at NuNu chocolates, Ashley had a P&H Soda Co. custom mixed soda: the Brooklyn based vendor poured her ginger and lime. I think she really loved the ginger, which had great bite, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a Soda Stream were in our future.
Have a great holiday weekend!
We’re looking forward to tackling some home projects in anticipation of the baby: clearing out more space, setting up the crib, and hanging our wallpaper…

Oh!!! Tacos….hot dogs….pizza! You're killing me!!! LOL {Note to self: It's healthy-get-your-day-started breakfast eating time…NOT looking-at-GOOD-food-time! LOL}
I was there two weeks ago. So much good food! I wish this existed year-round.
Those "food stalls" look amazing!
Oh yum! That pizza looks amazing! But a street taco? Nothing beats a street taco.
that sounds absolutely wonderful!! i wish there were something similar in dallas…we need some food stall/truck action in a bad way.
What delicious lunch (or dinner) choices! After 2 years of Italian, i'm quite ready for a street taco and some NYC pizza (cuz nothing beats that!!)
i heard grimaldis is finally open at the limelight shopping place (whatever it's called?) in chelsea. um, that's sort of monumental. in my opinion, anyway.
Totally agree–that's crazy! Thanks for the tip, Rebecca; I'll check it out!
OK, so I need a date with that pizza asap. Can this be arranged please?
It's equally awesome/dangerous that I pass this every day on the way home from work. I may or may not have stopped for a Momofuku cookie today… Try the Kafta from Ilili, so good! They also have this cucumber tea drink that I loved. I had the chicken verde burrito from Calexico and was a bit disappointed (though I'm sort of picky with meat). Oh, and the mini cannolis (sweet and salty, amazing). I still need to try the pizza and Asia Dog. Wish it stayed open all summer!
I ride my bike across it every afternoon and always want to stop for more.
I had the Roberta's "bee sting" pizza last weekend – I can vouch for the fact it's delicious!
I miss NY. I think another trip is due… If only for that Pizza!
oh, my i wish i was in new york right now… i will have to label a mason jar "new york" and start saving my pennies…
the pizza looks so good. what a great place to get together with friends/family. all the food you described sounds yummy!
have a great weekend, and how exciting that you will be working on the baby's room. I'm going to click over and see the wallpaper.
it's great that you guys live so close to all the action there..
fun to try all the different shops, restaurants, and trucks!
Oh how I wish I was in NYC right now, sampling some of this delicious looking food!
Great shoots
