Sushi Sen-Nin

Sushi Sen-Nin is one of my favorite low key sushi restuarants located in NYC's Murray Hill at 30 East 33rd Street.

The fish is fresh and the portions are generous and the sushi chef, Matsu, is very nice.

I stopped by for lunch - the Matsu Sushi for $22. This includes miso soup, 5 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll.

Their speciality rolls are very good too.

Franchia

In NYC's Murray Hill area at 12 Park Avenue is a very unassuming tea &vegetarian restaurant called Franchia. The decor is very zen like and the service is speedy and pleasant.

The food is asian fusion and I tried the Singapore Curry Angel Hair Noodles $13.95 with a Ginger Tea latte $6. The noodles were tasty and a bit spicy, the plate decorated with carved carrots. The Latte had a strong ginger flavor and topped with soy whipped cream. This would be a vegetarian version of a milk shake!

Resto

This cozy Belgian restaurant is located in between NYC's Murray Hill and Gramercy Park areas at 111 East 29th Street.

They have dozens of cocktails, wines and Belgian beers which are listed in the first several pages of recycled books.

As with any Belgian restaurant worth their salt this restaurant is known for their moules frites (mussels and fries). They also offer a very good burger.

"A" and I shared the daily special appetizer of chorizo sausage, swiss chard and Trinidad peppers ($10). For entrees "A" had the poulard ($26) and I had the short ribs ($27).

For dessert we shared the daily special dessert - apple and cranberry pie with homemade vanilla ice cream ($8) and we both had a cup of Belgian hot chocolate ($4).
