Sleep-Inducing Foods

A$, P, Anjali and i had dinner at Tea and Sympathy in the West Village tonight. It's the British goods shop/restaurant i've been meaning to try for a while now. The vegetarian carrot soup i had was very good, but the Welsh rarebit was awesome! It's a piece of toast with a layer of English mustard and cheddar cheese, broiled and served with tomato slices and vegetable pickle. A$'s mushroom Shepherds' Pie was good; it was served with a side of peas and carrots. P and A both ordered the chicken and vegetable pot pie, which arrived complete with old skool bird steam vent. The restaurant is very cozy and friendly. It would be the perfect place for tea and scones and a good book.

Instead of tea, we had hot drinks at The Chocolate Bar nearby. The whole place is decked out in white, orange and brown but in a very modern way. My hot chocolate was very good but i prefer City Bakery's version. Actually, i think my most favorite is Maribelle's Aztec hot chocolate but that's reserved for intense times only. They sell a 99% cacao bar too! I once bought a Michel Cluizel 99% bar just to try it, and shit was that shit bitter. I had half of it and couldn't eat any more!

Heavy foods, hot chocolate - i totally fell asleep on the train ride home.
