After sending Ari off to a bachelor’s life on the road, I met Caitlin for lunch at Bonobo’s. I’ve been dreaming about this place since I first went, and this trip did not disappoint.
To drink, I tried their gingeraid. It was so refreshing, with just the right amount of kick-ya-in-the-throat ginger.
Caitlin and I both got the nori wraps.
I stuffed mine with carrots, beets, cukes, zucchini, and sprouts; glued them together with curried sunflower and sunflower dill pastes.
For dessert, I got a sweet sesame ball. It tasted like a combination of marzipan and sesame brittle… amazing. They also have a mesquite chocolate ball, which I’m going to have to try next time.
After leaving Caitlin, I did some window shopping/lusting and found some killer things. Unfortunately, these things did not come home with me, and I headed to work empty-handed.
I brought some fresh figs to snack on. I shared a couple with some of the other waiters, but ate most of the carton myself. Great snack!
I had two extra figs by the time dinner rolled around, so I smushed them on top of my arugula/tomato/apple/orange salad. Mmm!
I stopped at the bodega on the way home for my usual 1 lb of belly-busting fruit.
Now it really is crunch time for me… I have to take out the trash, run, shower, and PACK for Boston.
Have a great weekend, and see some of you in a few hours!!!
i totally want to try that restaurant next time i’m in ny!
have a happy friday
No toast picture?! What am I going to do with you?!
Those nori wraps look incredible! Good luck packing and have a safe trip!!
I just had a “duh” moment involving homemade nori wraps.
Have a great time!

I can’t believe I haven’t tried Bonobos yet! It is definitely on my imminent “to-do” list. Have a safe trip:)
That sweet sesame ball looks very good! I am thinking I would love it
Oh, window shopping. So fun, but not as fun as actually shopping haha. Oh, girl I know!
You’re making me miss Bonobos (and you) too much!!
Have fun in Beantown! I definitely want to try Bonobos Gingeraid….like right now.
I bought some green figs at Whole Foods this week and there were some seriously underripe ones in there and they were nasty! The ripe ones were alright but I dunno, they did not live up to my expectations considering how much I love dried figs!
Your photos keep getting better and better. Show us some good old Boston cod!
[...] I saved the “nut meat” as well… I’m planning on making some Bonobo-style nori wraps! (Note: this is 1/2 Gena’s [...]
