How have I never seen nor owned this beauty? I feel like it might have been only available to women of a certain class, but now some deviant at Pottery Barn snatched the idea from the higher ups and made it available to us simple folk for the completely (un)reasonable price of $80.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful. I'm definitely going to put it on my Christmas list. Look at it! It's gorgeous! And so practical! Can't wait to be a woman of a certain class.
Remember how I'm a big fan of Murray's in the city? Well, with the arrival of these (two!) locations of Astoria Bier & Cheese in (duh) Astoria, I never have to get on an E train again.
This is the burrata plate I ate.
Full disclosure: it's not as good as the burrata at The Smith, but it's still pretty memorable. Here's their BLT.
I had a bite of that one and it was really good. I'm not crazy into beer, but apparently this place is known for it. Why is it called bier and not beer? I don't know, but I'm guessing that's what makes it more expensive? Just a theory. Anyway, if you're in Astoria looking for good cheese-centric restaurants, this is the place.
Sidenote: Happy Birthday to the best there is, the kindest kindergarten teacher on this planet and my best friend in the universe. You're wicked and I love you, Harmeet.
Everything about this is fantastic.
