New York: Home Restaurant

Lunch date #2 (9/15) -- this time with an editor from Penguin Putnam. She took me to a little local place at 20 Cornelia Street. It's small and deserves its name: Home Restaurant, since it goes out of its way to have a cosy, home-cooking atmosphere. I was lucky to find on special that day a molasses-glazed squab, which turned out to be ever so tender and tasty. My companion had the 3 egg omelet with goat cheese, roasted red peppers, and herbs and made a very brave attempt to eat the entire generous portion. We had a slight mishap with dessert, having decided to split the chocolate pudding and receiving instead the butterscotch. Quickly rectified by the apologetic waitress, we then enjoyed our sweet treat before heading back to our respective offices.
