“You don’t eat no meat!? It’s ok, I make lamb”
My friend Lauren and I met up on the Upper West Side on Tuesday night to get some good eats and to catch up. Also because I asked her to make a little cake topper for Sophie’s 1st birthday. Photos of that to come (or TK, a we say in the biz).
We met at Kefi, a Greek restaurant I had good things about, with a pretty high profile restaurateur at the helm, Donatella Arpaia. Lauren and I sat at the bar and had some good greek wine, and a few appetizer plates: greek salad, a selection of spreads, and grilled octopus and white bean salad. I sometimes have a problem w/ octopus because of the texture, but this was one of the best things I’ve eaten….ever. I’m glad we ordered it. It was smokey, with a soft, not rubbery texture. We both loved it! The prices were also very reasonable!
To my horror, the website uses the typeface Papyrus. Which is bad and almost as widely used by amateurs as Comic Sans.
There were two lovely, older, greek gentlemen sitting next to us, and they asked us our nationalities, and even tho we aren’t greek, they were so kind as to send us over two desserts that we had to try! Hahah, we couldn’t refuse, and even tho I have no idea what either of them were…we enjoyed them both. Things always taste better when theyre free anyway.
