Teresa's - Brooklyn

Polish Comfort Food
So, before Puffin ever visited NY, I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out places to take her to eat. She's from Singapore, which has a very different food culture, so to be honest I just kinda took her to a variety of places and hoped for the best. I didn't expect Teresa's would be such a big hit with her. What was the big hit? The breakfast. Two in particular: the one shown below - eggs, potatoes, toast and kielbasa and more fervently - the fried egg and kielbasa sandwich on an english muffin.

Friday Donut Day Goes Polish
Happenstance: the magical act of finding an unexpected donut while looking for a different donut. Puff and I were on our way to Abraco in the East Village for some ricotta fritters when something sugary registered in my peripheral. I stopped dead in my tracks and whirled around to a window full of treats. I stepped inside the little storefront and felt like I was in Warsaw. If you click on this pic you will see the old polish lady with the sour face sitting inside.

I got one of those powdery treats in the middle of the window. The proportion of dough to filling was a bit off - I like more filling.
