Very Thin Pancakes!?

You heard correctly, Bar Suzette, world class crepe bar is serving fresh crepes (very thin pancakes) in Chelsea Market. The theme of this crepe bar is the golbalization of food. This is very clear when you take a look at their menu. You can get anything from a ham and swiss to a chicken du jour filled with mixed greens topped with their self made dijunayse dressing.

They also have dessert crepes such as nutella banana, fig and honey, apple and brie, and many other different types of sweet crepes. All of the crepes are prepared right in front of you in a matter of minutes. The cooks are wonderful and will definitely amaze you with their cooking techniques. Maybe even spark a interesting conversation if you are in the mood.

They purchase their delicious ham from Bon Italia, also located in Chelsea Market, they are a direct Import from Italy. This particular type is called Prosciutto and it is very thin but has to be one of the best tasting hams I've ever eaten.

The theme of the crepe bar can also be seen through its wonderful decor. Displaying art from all types of different artists; Japanese, American, French, etc. All of the art work is for sale. The price range is about 6-10 dollars but it is surely worth more because not only do you get amazing crepes, it is also a wonderful experience.


Friedman’s Lunch


Don't be fooled by the name! This place has to have the best banana walnut pancakes ever! I know it may sound weird but along with my banana walnut pancakes I had some freshly cut french fries! Located in Chelsea Market this restaurant is very neat and although its not extremely expensive it still has a high class feel and atmosphere. The employees are extremely nice and welcoming especially with their open kitchen. With the chalkboard special's menu that includes different types of freshly squeezed juices and parfaits. Most of the items on the menu are also available gluten free. 

I usually stop by on Saturdays before my morning shift at work and this is without a doubt a great place to start your day. A typical meal here will run you about 10-15 bucks. Friedman's Lunch is not a franchise or a chain so occasionally you'll be greeted by the restaurant owner as soon as you walk in. This place is nice and hip and perfect for an afternoon lunch with the family or just a simple date with a loved one.
