Wallet-friendly Crépes


Apparently, The Gothamist shares my love of "food to-go" windows, saving money, and the French. In today's post, they blogged about Shade to Go, a take-out window that offers build-your-own crépes, right next to Shade bar near Washington Square Park. In addition to being customizable and delicious, the crépes have been reviewed as both inexpensive and satisfyingly filling. Here's more from the Gothamist:

"Each crépe comes with three ingredients, and for the "savory" crepes, customers typically pick a meat, cheese and a vegetable [A reviewer on the Insiderpages notes the selection includes smoked salmon, French brie, goat cheese, ham, smoked turkey, spinach, roasted garlic, eggs, roasted zucchini]. Or get a 'sweet' crépe for dessert and choose from ingredients like fruit, syrups, chocolate and dulce de leche. They also have sandwiches and salads, all made fresh to order. Take advantage of the special and get a crépe or a sandwich with a salad for $10."

The next time the weather breaks 60 degrees, you'll know where to find me!

Prices:
Dessert crépe: $6.75
Savory crépe: $7.75
Crépe/salad combo: $10

Location: 241 Sullivan St

Fresh Direct Gives Away Free Fruit!

A little surprise came with our Fresh Direct order today...
My apprehension quickly gave way to pure joy, as I realized this extra carton of apples was not a mistake on my part but a generous gift from The Peak Produce Club, of which apparently Gus and I are now members.
