NYC Restaurant Find: Zabb Elee
ZABB ELEE, EAST VILLAGE Zabb Elee scores major points with me because I haven’t eaten such good Thai food since I last visited Sydney.

NYC Cafe Find: Smooch
SMOOCH, FORT GREENE An Australian café in Brooklyn! The coffee is great but make sure the Australian guy (listen for the accent) with the dreadlocks is behind the machine. The food is okay, but nothing you couldn’t prepare for yourself at home, although the cute menu and vibe makes up for all that anyway. http://www.smoochorganic.com/index.html […]
