Appetizer Crawl

At the Restaurant Club, we decided it was time for an Appetizer Crawl. You know. Just like a bar crawl, but involving a series of restaurants insteaad. As soon as we struck upon the idea, there was a flurry of excited activity, with everyone throwing suggested venues with good apps. What restaurants had we heard were good, which ones had great ambience, what did Zagat have to say about them - the emails zipped excitedly back and forth across cyber-space. Needless to say, not too much real work was done during that planning phase.

"Hang on, hang on," Jenn had to call order to the commotion, "let's restrict it to an area, shall we? Say Soho?" And so, we finally got consensus on a group of restaurants we were all equally excited about. Jenn industriously even mapquested them all and emailed us little maps indicating all the locations.

And - what a lovely afternoon it was! Filled with gustatory indulgences and epicurious delights. The Bruno Bakery. The Casablanca Tea Room. Balthazar. The Cupping Room Cafe.

And now, tripping over ourselves in eager-beaver enthusiasm, we're planning another one - in Chelsea. Any suggestions?

Not a single idea. Sorry. But this sounds like great fun. (which is probably true about anything involving food, with the exception, perhaps, of a hot-dog or lemon-meringue eating contest)
