Picnics in New York City
January 13, 2007
Listen to this feature (How to listen)
Mike Colameco, host of Colameco's Food Show on New York's PBS Channel 13, is our go-to guy for advice on where to eat in the Big Apple. Here are his picks for places to picnic:
- Central Park: Get take-out from Thomas Keller's bakery, Bouchon, in the Time Warner Center to eat in the park.
- Downtown: head to Abingdon Square, a tiny British neighborhood, and pick up hot Cornish Pasties, Scotch Eggs or mince pies made daily at Myers of Keswick (634 Hudson Street), or get fish and chips at A Salt and Battery at 112 Greenwich Avenue.
- Lower East Side: Pick up a first-rate corned beef or pastrami sandwich or a hot dog at the legendary Katz's Deli then head to Tompkins Square Park. Charlie Parker lived across the street for years
And if you find yourself in the upper east neighborhood Lynne recommends a coffee shop with exquisite capuccino and some outstanding Italian items on their Menu. The place is Via Quadranno and you can find them on 73rd between Madison and 5th.
