S'MAC

          Today my family and I went to a restaurant in the East Village called S'mac.  It specializes in Mac and Cheese.  It is located in Manhattan's East Village, at 197 First Avenue, at the intersection of 12th street.  The restaurant's street facing walls are glass.  One of the walls has exposed brick.  Some parts of the walls are orange.  In the corner there is a counter from which you order your meal.  The list of dishes are on big boards.
          My family and I ordered 4 different types of mac and cheese.  My mom got a Parisienne mac and cheese.  My dad got a Philly Cheese Steak mac and cheese.  My sister got All American mac and cheese and I got the Cheeseburger mac and cheese.   The mac and cheese came from the cast iron pans they were cooked.  The Parisienne had creamy brie, roasted fig, roasted shiitake mushrooms and rosemary.  It was good.  The figs and mushrooms were chewy.  The brie was creamy as the description said and had a strong rosemary taste.  The Philly Cheese Steak was the special and it had the stuff you expect in a Philly Cheese Steak.  Bits of steak, onions, red peppers and provolone.  The All American mac and cheese, it is a standard mac and cheese and it was good, the cheese was very stringy and had a nice orange color and was crispy.  My mac and cheese was the Cheeseburger.  I loved it.  The burger meat was delicious.  The cheese was gooey.

Kingsbridge Social Club

     


          Today my family and I went to the restaurant called the Kingsbridge Social Club.  The address is 3625 Kingsbridge Ave, Bronx, NY 10463.  When you enter the restaurant on the left side the wall has graffiti style art on it.  The right side has a bar with a brick wall behind it and in the back right corner there is an open kitchen with subway tiles lining the walls.  In the middle of the kitchen there is a pizza oven.  It looks really cool because it it covered in spray paint.  There was more exposed brick in some places some parts of the wall were painted a dark orange and turquoise.  The chair were brightly colored and metal.  
   
          My family and I ordered 2 pizzas and mac and cheese.  My family and I were served on small mismatched plates.  The mac and cheese was mouthwatering.  It was crunchy and the cheese was gooey and flavorful and couldn't put my finger on the types of cheese used.  
          The pizza was served on large empty tomato cans to elevate the pizzas from the table.  The 1st pizza my family and I ordered was the polpette.  Which was a plain pizza with meatballs.  
          It was delicious.  The sauce was yummy and the meatball was garlicky.  The other pizza me and my family had was the Green, Eggs & Ham.  You can tell where this is going.  It was a pizza topped with Quail eggs, Ham and arugula.  It was palatable.  The Ham mixed with bitter and crunchy arugula all covered in the goo of the Quail eggs yolk.
