hello all,
you know it's been 8 days since i've been up in the air and i must say i'm getting a little antsy! i'm sure i'll be on the road again soon, but in the meantime i thought i'd share a little bit about a recent taste i had right here in new york city.
you'd barely even know the restaurant was there. it's called wild edibles; an unassuming little seafood market on third avenue that you might pass by in the blink of an eye. thankfully for me that wasn't the case, because i would have missed a little gem right there in murray hill.
it's a not a big place, maybe 8 or 10 tables a small bar with no more than 6 seats but boy did it fill up fast, mostly with locals out to enjoy a fresh taste from the sea. when you first enter you'll find a little display case off to your left with all the fresh choices of the day....and i do mean fresh! salmon, mussels, clams, oysters, sea bass to name a few of the delectable delights all of which you can select and have prepared in the style and seasoning of your choice. they also have some standard items on the menu which are equally as delicious.
the staff is superb, friendly & attentive you won't be disappointed. the meal started with a crab & lobster bourbon spiced pumpkin bisque which was heavenly. silky smooth, warm & delicious. this was followed by some outstanding mussels and a wonderful sea bass. you can order the mussels prepared in a variety of different ways, but i'm a thai fan myself. fresh and oh so tasty (a little kick just how i like it). the sea bass was fresh and cooked to perfection. flaky and tender, with nice crispy skin.
best of all it was affordable! all in all you are looking about $45/person for an appetizer, entree and a glass of wine (can't forget the wine!). a deal that can't be beat!
i must say it was a wonderful dining experience. make sure you check them out next time you happen to be out and about in new york city! www.wildedibles.com
the only thing i forgot is pictures! don't worry, next time i'll be more vigilant.
happy travels wherever the road may take you.
until next time...
stay tuned for the next viewfromtheair
