Around every corner…
It’s a cold day. A day begging for a pleasant escape. Mine takes me down to 64th Street on Lexington to a plant-forward restaurant.
It’s part of a little city-wide chain. In the best way possible.
I owe my visit today to the generosity of step-children who sent an e-coupon.
What a delight!
The walk in the sunny morning was invigorating and took me off the tried/tired path I usually trod. (The bonus was an unexpected step count.)
Le Botaniste makes delicious fare in a nice but not luxurious setting with warm service.
I ordered a curated plate from the seasonal menu. It had both “green,” which I found appealing, and “Bronx” (in honor of my friend S) in its description. And green it was, beautifully, lushly and abundantly. I can not vouch for its connection to the borough, but texted S a picture.
I listened to podcasts, including one from The Contrarian, and avoided any glimpse of the disaster unfolding at the Capitol Rotunda.
