Things We'll Miss in NYC, Part 1

Cause we love a good four parter here at 88 India.

This excludes people, which are the real reason we're here anyways. That and the cache of having a 917 area code on your tricoder device.

Gonna try and pitch these in order.

#20. Bedford Cheese Shop / Dandelion Wines

These are the go-to dinner party stops for us. The cheese shop is legend, albeit prohibitively costly. Dandelion is at the bottom of the street, owned by our friend Lily, who takes excellent care of us and Jane. Like UVA wines too, but see less of those jokers in the newer digs.

#19. Moon River Chattel

I don't know what a Chattel is, but we're bankrolling it.


#18. Peter Luger's

Demands no explanation. Site of some heroic eat downs.


#17. Bigelow Pharmacy

Beav's West Village standby for ages. Pretty spectacular if you're into tooth paste, labcoats and chemistry.


#16. Babbo

The not that humble beginnings of the Batali franchise. Good eating - my first calf liver, beef cheeks, Barolo, truffle ice cream, etc.

#15. Pearl River

This is where the stocking stuffers, silk PJs and garden benches hail from.


Gets a little trickier here on out.
