Marley's Dad

Marley's dad forgot to mention when he picked him up that his birthday was the following day. So, when I see him the next day around 6 pm and he tells me it's his bday-I felt terrible. In trying to worry about Bryan's test, I had overlooked a friend's special day (or if I had known!). So, I tried to kill two birds with one stone and set out to find the city's best blueberry muffins for a treat for B and dinner at a great place for bday celebration. Well as it turns out, the muffins came from Friend of a Farmer-specially made for me because the "muffin chef" leaves at 10.30am and I couldn't come until 7.30pm. And, dinner was at CraftBar around the corner.

The muffins were heavenly. The blueberry was not overpowering, they were perfectly sweetened, and not to bready. I wish the pic did justice to the taste. I put my finger in the pic to show you how stinkin big these guys were too.

Everyone teased me about the muffins, but B loved them!! Next, we went to dinner at CraftBar-it's a fun place to eat in flatiron. Has a famous chef/owner, Tom Colicchio, and this is his middle of the road version. I'd have to say the food was well done, great presentation, but probably won't be going back here-too much to conquer to make the repeat list!
