I will of course make great effort to explore the food scene in my new neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn, and a quick Google search for nearby Japanese restaurants introduced me to a small boîte called Maki just a 3-minute car trip (way too hot to walk).

The dish whose picture intrigued me enough to make the trip was called *saki inure don* consisting of fresh sliced raw Faroe Islands fatty salmon, marinated ikura, sisho mint, shredded omelet, arugula, homemade zuke (sweet soy) sauce, ginger, and fresh wasabi.

The dish could not have been more fresh and tasty, prepared just across a counter from me inches away, and presented with great care and, hopefully, pride, as the the whole experience — the food, service, decor — was pleasantly enjoyable and I look to exploring Maki’s menu again — as I explore the Bushwick food scene some more.

Found a nearby Bushwick, quirky little boîte called Ange Noir Cafe to enjoy a rather tasty bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast.

The vibe is very “goth-esque(?),” a fun character in decor with friendly service, though wasn’t expecting the sandwich to take so long to be served with a relatively small number of customers at the off-peak time.

That being said, I’d expect I’ll still revisit.

Harlem Cafe does as good a plate of nostalgically delicious diner food as I have ever had. My lunch companion lauded her eggs over, crispy bacon, and roasted potatoes as among the best she’s ever had (in her 80 years).

Not even two days into my new apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC, I received my first piece of furniture, made my first in-home meal (ham on wheat sandwich), and ventured out to my first neighborhood dining experience at quaint, rightfully confident Vietnamese restaurant Little MO.

Not even a 10-minute walk from my new address, Little Mo handles their fare estimably, preparing familiar crispy pork belly strips with aplomb, and switching up a pillowing steamed bao bun option with Korean fried chicken (as opposed to the dish’s staple pork filling).

If I’ve had lotus fries before and don’t remember, I am sure to remember the ones served here as they were a mini-revelation. And the “roses lichee apple” rounded out the savory and fried noted with sweet, tart, and a hint of floral (from real rose petals).

The service was timely and cordial, of which I needed nothing more to leave (with my leftovers) self-confirming I will be making repeat visits to Little MO to now also confidently try — at the very least — their phos and bánh mís.

I followed smash burger eatery Skinny Louie on Instagram, slightly envying that they were out of Miami.

But then my NYC friend Richie posted that Skinny Louie had just opened a location on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — my stomping grounds.

So I checked them out (as pretty much every other brand and appointment has been in this area) and they did a pretty decent job with their double cheeseburger — a quick smashed sear keeping the juices in and giving nice caramelization smokiness and taste, though I do prefer my smash burgers to have slightly crispier edges.

It would be greatly satisfying enough in a pinch if it’s within walking distance, but my go-tos still remain Harlem Shake and MILK Burger, both places I make every intentional effort to get to when in town.

Spent much of my time this past NYC visit in Harlem. Regardless of the continued gentrification in the expansive location, it is always nice to be able to enjoy my favorite NYC experiences — especially food-wise — no matter where I am geographically in Gotham.

So I was quite happy to find Juicery Harlem, just two blocks from where I was staying, where I could order and and enjoy a lox, red onion, and cream cheese everything bagel and a freshly pressed carrot, orange, and ginger juice.

Both were yummy and nostalgically rewarding and a nice reminder of the gratitude I have when commonly geographical NYC experiences in other areas of the city.

Finally made it to the third of Hotel Indigo Barbados’ three restaurant offerings, Vintage Cafe, joined for lunch by friends (new Bajan citizens) Karen and Ed for a lovely early lunch.

As I enjoyed my visits to the hotels other eateries, Compass and Vista, I likewise enjoyed my oxtail tacos. The oxtail was tender, richly layered with flavor, and accompanied nicely by crisp lettuce and slightly spicy cream, all served in aromatic, fresh grilled flour tortillas.

My friend Karen was quite pleased with her pulled pork tacos — served fresh-grilled corn tortillas, respecting her request for gluten-free.

Her husband Ed happily devoured his thin-crust meat-lover’s pizza, so much so that I have already decided that that will be what I order on my next visit.

And next visits there will indeed be for me (as will be for the hotels two other food spots) as the already satisfying dining experience is made even more impressive by the oceanside vista — whether viewed outside right of the beach or still clearly viewed from the inside in air conditioning.

(I show the beverage pictured as I am now tracking how no-booze drink menus are growing in occurrence [and assumed popularity]. This drink, called the Indigo, is made from blueberries, vanilla syrup, and non-alcoholic ginger beer. Try tasty but I’ll continue to stick with my Alaric Beach of pineapple juice and ginger ale as I have no need to pretend I’m having a cocktail.)

Last month I had the great pleasure of meeting up with 4 friends of mine that I’ve known for 40 years, one who owns a wonderful Midtown, Manhattan Italian restaurant called Amata which, 13 years strong and growing, still serves expertly executed classic Italian dishes and desserts as warm, friendly, familiar, and ever special as this group of my friends who enjoyed a great catch-up lunch together.
