adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Life: List’d] French! Fries! As anyone who has dined with me knows, pomme frites are my utter and total weakness. I could/would/do eat them anytime, anyplace, on any occasion. Brunch? Why not! 2 a.m.? Why not! Hours before a 1/2 marathon? Definitely. I’ve only been a NYer for 3 years and I’m still on the hunt for the BEST FRIES EVER but for now, here are a few of my favorites (and I’d love to know yours as well!) Pommes Frites: belgian style, nationally acclaimed, amazing dipping sauces, open late night Balthazar: crisp french classic, served morning, noon and night Loreley: thin, not too greasy, goes well with German beers JG Melon: cottage fries, somewhat of NY institution Schiller’s (same recipe/owner as Balthazar) Rare Bar & Grill: get a basket of fries with dipping sauces Les Halles: eat with the mussels. YUMM! Taim: super thin, right amount of crunch, super cheap - great with harissa spicy sauce Nice Matin: steak fries, served with mayo (I pass on the mayo, but I know many love) Shake Shack: because you can’t eat a double stack without fries Spotted Pig: Shoestring delights! Some hate the shoestring but I love it Union Square Cafe: another famous little fry, crisp, good texture, not too greasy Telepan: a late night carefully crafted foodie favorite Artisanal: classically french, completely delicious Cafe de Bruxelles: belgian crisp delights! just the right amount of salt Pastis: see Balthazar Bar Boulud: If they’re good enough for Daniel… Shopsin’s: go for the cheesy ones, you won’t regret it Five Guys: steak style, super thick, good amount of crunch, loads of salt
