Food Porn Friday - More Birthday Eating

Okay, so I lied a little about the continued birthday mentions. Here's some more celebratory food. In all my birthday celebrations consisted of my BFF and I going out for some apps; I bought some celebratory cupcakes; I had a nice meal for myself and one with Husband J at Marea. Phew! This is perhaps why I am on what I call a "Reset Week". I'm going to talk more about what that is some time.

Grande Piatto Misto Di Salumi & Formaggi at La Piazza at Eataly (for more info on Eataly, check out this post)

BFF and I hung out at the marble tables right in the center of Eataly's La Piazza. It was fun to stand and eat cheese, good bread, salumi and the most amazing honey ever (amaretto honey!!). It did get a little tiring to stand after awhile, but it was still fun. I felt very...Italian. :)

Robicelli's Cupcakes

I only ate one on my birthday. I saved the other for the next day. I have some semblance of restraint. :)

Sticky Date Cake at Colonie

Colonie is my favorite new restaurant in Brooklyn. Each time I've been, I've forgotten my camera. Totally smart, I know. I love this dessert.

The ice cream tastes like buttermilk!

Don't worry. All of this eating was over a five day period, and I've been resting my stomach ever since. :)

Happy Weekend!
