NYC: A night out in Meatpacking District

Butter, NYC

It’s only Saturday once a week, so yesterday, we had planned a big night out. We started with a late dinner at Butter, where we had each our giant steak. It must have been around 500 grams, and we didn’t even manage to eat half of it. We considered getting a doggie-bag, but as we were heading out for clubbing in Meatpacking District after the dinner, this wasn’t really an option. Such a shame to see such a good steak go to waste. 

After our steak-induced food coma, we finished our bottle of red wine, and went to Le Bain, which is the roof top bar at The Standard hotel.

It was a really nice place, but we wanted to dance to Jay-Z and realized quickly that this wasn’t going to happen at Le Bain, so we decided to try our luck at Cielo. While Cielo had lots of beautiful people, it soon became obvious that there wasn’t any Jay-Z  on that night’s playlist, so after an hour, we left. On our way back home we passed Gaslight, and decided to give our Jay-Z mission a final shot. Gaslight is not a particularly fancy place, but it’s always packed, and judging from the music we could hear out on the street, it had some serious Jay-Z potential. Unfortunately, the DJ informed us that he had played a Jay-Z track just before we arrived. With sore feet we therefore went back home to our apartment, mission Jay-Z: Incomplete.

It was the second time Tina and I dined at Butter. Read my blog post about our first dinner at Butter here >>

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$128.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
