In Search Of: Thompson Street

I desperately needed to walk off the Monkey Bread from Friday night.  What a better way to multi-task than to explore an area near the James Hotel on foot.  I recently worked the streets of SoHo for a rental client.  I remembered positive feel of Thompson Street, so that became my focus.

Monkey Bread: A super-sweet end to food as art at David Burke Kitchen

Scene: Friday night. David Burke Kitchen. Fabulous meal, from beginning to end. Food as art. Then the dessert menu is handed out. 

I glanced down the list, and saw ..... Monkey Bread.


I know Monkey Bread as fair food from county grange fairs in Pennsylvania. It was one of the yummy gooey treats in the same category as funnel cake. It is a cousin of the Grilled Stickies from Penn State too.  

Do you see that tin of ooey goodness?  It was DELISH!

Conclusion:  David Burke Kitchen is definitely worth a visit
