Went to Little bird for lunch right after getting off the Bolt Bus. It was a few blocks from the stop.
I couldn't get a reservation at Le Pigeon this week so it was cool to check out this spot.
Definately a bigger place. More laid back menu. I had a charcuterie board and soup. The prix fix wasnt as awesome as the sister place and it was too early in the day to crush a huge meal. I did find an awesome French liquer ala Chartreuse from Provence.
Thyme flavored herbal drink. I highly enjoy it and will be on my list of favorites along with Strega, Suze and the like.
Hit Bunk Bar later that night before seeing Dave Attell at Helium.
Solid sandos. Pork Belly Cubano. Pulled Pork with Apple Slaw. Meatball Sub. I would definately get them in rotation.
Had some Pok Pok in Northeast.
I got a game hen salad. It was okay but I think this is a hype spot. Kind of money for Thai street food and for some reason getting sticky rice in a plastic bag seemed stupid to me indoors. Pretty good but I would rather get cheap Vietnamese or Thai. The Pok Pok Noi has a smaller menu so maybe the others might be a little more exciting.
Watched a line all night out side of The Know.
Salt and Straw.
Ice cream apparently has some gnarly flavors ala marrow and foie gras.
We drank a while after the show and the line finally dissipated.
They had flights so I got 4 flavors. Laphroig flavored sherbert, Blood Pudding, Pear and Blue Cheese and Arbequina Olive Oil.
I was hoping the flavors of all would be a little more bold and exciting. The pear was rather chunky but I liked the combo. The blood pudding was kind of more of a chili spiced chocolate tasting. The Laphroig but too suttle and I didnt even remember what the olive oil was until after I checked the menu.
Pretty cool place but I think its another hype spot. Humphrey Slocumbe is superior to me and I will validate that in SF this week.
