NYC eats

New York is the mecca for foodies. And lucky me to have had the opportunity to work there - surrounded by so many talented people, who I learned so much from.

On a recent trip back, I made it a priority to check out a past co-worker’s, Heather Carlucci, success-story business. And I highly recommend you follow in my footsteps.

I have read so much about her take-out Indian restaurant Lassi (voted Best Take Out by New York Magazine - congrats Heather). With a menu that changes frequently, Heather stays true to flavours of North Indian cuisine. In fact, for such a small space I was truly impressed with the variety of offerings. She roasts her own spice mixes, which you can even buy to make your own tempting creations at home.

Her namesake lassi (an Indian milkshake-like yogurt drink) is hands down the best I’ve had. After finishing a vanilla lassi (in minutes I might add), I promptly ordered the mango lassi. I suspect if I had stayed longer I would have made my way through the entire flavour spectrum!
