Typically, our family waits until after Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas decorations. But when King of Christmas reached out to me in June about a potential partnership, I couldn’t resist the chance to showcase their stunning selection of artificial Christmas trees , wreaths, and garlands . I was excited to get an early start on making our home holiday-ready this year!

Maybe we should do a review of fast food joints in Manhattan: Burger King, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A... I could follow the food review with a dramatic retelling of having our stomach's pumped.
And when you go, hopefully it won't be busy -- the cozy bar inside seats four, and it'll feel like you're the guest at the home of the robust, white-bearded patriarch behind the bar that anchored the warm and laid-back staff on our night there.
As for the food, I think Michelle pretty much covered the bases. The steamed clams were the best I've ever had. The cod in the bacalhau was good, although the other textures in the dish itself were a bit odd. The shellfish bread pudding (which I had to get based on Eric Asimov's 1996 New York Times review) was more pudding than bread, and, although interesting, the chorizo flavor was unexpected for me.
If you have some time and are in the area, stop by the bar and order a glass of vinho verde, or bring a date and buy the bottle.
Michelle, my next pick will be Chipotle. I'm getting the carnitas burrito bol, and you guys can cover the chicken and barbacoa and post your reviews. ;)
And, I'm thrilled that we will be wrapping up our dining year at Chipotle. Just as long as I can smother guacamole on everything I order! That stuff is so good, makes me wonder what's really in it... ;-)
