This was kind of an unusual weekend, since we stayed in the city during ski season, and we went out to dinner a few times. On Friday night we went to an Alsatian restaurant, Cafe d'Alsace, where we had some traditional dishes of that French region. Jennifer and I shared a bowl of bouillabaisse -- a saffron infused fish stew -- and then had some charcoutrie which is a sauerkraut and sausage casserole. It went well with the winter storm that rolled in. Then last night we met one of my prior coworkers for dinner at Rolf's, which is a traditional German restaurant. The food there tends to be underwhelming, but the decor is festive for the winter season, and the main reason to visit. You can see from the pictures how overboard they go with the holiday decorations.
Today we dropped a few things at my sister's apartment and then went shopping on the Upper West Side afterwards since we had the car out. We stopped at Zabars, Fairway, and Citarella for groceries. After coming back home, Jenn made chicken tortilla soup, good on a cold day. The snow storm was only a few inches, not the half foot or so that seemed likely on Friday. Hopefully the drive up north this weekend will be clear.
