I took this picture on the subway yesterday on my way to Murray’s. This guy was standing next to me and my camera was all packed up in my bag, but I saw his camera and just had to snag a photo. I was going to ask his permission first, but he was listening to his ipod and was totally oblivious to me checking him out… so I just went ahead. I only had time for one shot before he got off the subway, but I got exactly what I wanted! I looked up the model – Canon FTb and it was manufactured in 1971! Cool.
On another note, Adam and I had a scrumptious brunch this morning with our friends Dave & Lucy at Northern Spy Food Co. on 12th between A & B. I had heard good things and boy… we were NOT disappointed! I ordered the slow-whisked scrambled eggs with house-made sausage and grilled potato & rosemary bread. Adam ordered the Corn Beef Hash with Heritage beef brisket and poached eggs. Both dishes were amazing – the sausage was TO DIE FOR – like a big juicy sausage meatball – super flavorful!! We also split a kale (shredded) salad with clothbound cheddar, sweet potato (though I think they served it to us with turnips today instead) and almonds. This was also delicious – the first time I’ve ever really swooned over kale! It is an adorable and cozy little place and I am definitely excited to go back for dinner (or brunch again).
And finally – here is photo I took of a cheese called Capricious. It is an aged goat cheese from Achadinha Goat Cheese Company in Sonoma County and apparently, it is pretty hard to come by. It is a crazy looking cheese! I tried it at Murray’s yesterday and I liked it – it reminded me of a goat cheese version of a parmagiano.
Adam and I are taking off tomorrow morning for Sonoma (perhaps a visit to above cheese maker is in order), so my photos for the next week will have a little west coast flave! Of course, I’m hauling my laptop & camera with me… in fact, this is my first trip with my laptop in tow. We’re growing very attached.
I love every detail of the foods you eat and love your appreciation of cheese!! A bit like the Carrie Bradshaw of food…..
wow- best comment ever… just made my day completely. Thanks Ellen!
I am curious how you took the picture of the camera. Did you actually kneel down next to the guy and snap it and he was completely oblivious? If so, hilarious.
no… definitely didn’t kneel. I did crouch down though. I was using my 50mm, so it looks like I was right up against him, but I was a couple feet away – enough that he didn’t notice my existence. There was another guy watching me – he was amused.
