Djerdan – Bosnian food, Midtown West
Summar and I work together near Herald Square and every day is a perpetual hunt for something interesting to eat for lunch. The area is so commercial and blah. Basically, it’s not easy. Summar recently ended up finding Djerdan which serves Bosnian food. Can’t say I ever had Bosnian food, so we decided to try.
They say they have the “best burek” in town so we ordered their spinach burek. One slice is massive…kind of a meal on its own (I’m sorry I forgot to take a picture of it). It was pretty good, not the best I’ve had.
We noticed there was a lot of veal on the menu which I’m never down for so we went safe and ordered (mostly) chicken:
I miss everything in Berlin, especially the food.
I recently went to Berlin for a couple of days, and in retrospect, I don’t think any of the food I had were signature “German” dishes. My new friend Nina, who took us around, said they’re big on sausage. I don’t eat sausage, so this was a problem.
We were staying in the Mitte area of the city, and the first night we stopped in a place called Courage Cafe. Cheesy name, I know, but the food was SO tasty that it totally made up for that fact.

Roaming in Chelsea
Oh, hello there.
Erm. So, I guess I’m into healthy fast food these days, because that’s where I keep ending up. This time, it was on the suggestion of mi amiga Katie that we stop by F&B güdtfood in Chelsea.
How breakfast in Prague looks like…
Well, for some at least…
My cousin, who’s visiting Prague, sent me a pic of her first morning meal at the Intercontinental Hotel on Pařížská Street:
breakfast in prague
Oatmeal with strawberries and chopped walnuts and “the freshest orange juice ever.” Love all the fruits and veggies…looks a LOT healthier than my breakfast 
The funny thing is she said when they got there around 8 am, they said they’re not serving breakfast…so they said it’s OK, they’ll just order room service and eat it right there hahaha. Nice one.

Found a gem of a place in the East Village tonight: Bistrouge. I just wanted to stop by somewhere for coffee, and saw their “Coffee – Wine – Bread – Odyssey” canopy outside, so thought I’d stop by. It’s a small rustic place, brick walls and dim lighting with jazzy tunes playing in the background.
The yumminess I found at Veselka’s
Veselka cupcake
My friend Aminah and I stumbled into Veselka, a 24-hour Ukranian diner, one late night a couple weeks ago, and a fabulous rainbow-sprinkled cupcake on display made me sit down. I was fully prepared to be disappointed, not knowing how long it’s been inside its chilly abode. But the vanilla treat was light and perfect with a cup of peppermint Twinings tea.
Cupcake, $1.75; Herbal tea, $1.50
