It took us 13 hours (and 13 years) to move to New York City. Apartment hunting hell and job hunting during recession was part of the deal of moving to the greatest city in the world. The challenges are worth every amazing experience we’ve had here. There’s always something to do. There’s never enough time. Roaming around the streets here is pure joy. This is our personal NYC story.

Crunch 'n Cheese
We couldn't wait to go back to Chat 'n Chew to try the highly-recommended Macaroni and Cheese (described as "from our trailer park days, with a crunchy top"). My co-worker was right, it's yummy! The really crunchy top layer is what makes this mac and cheese extra special while keeping the interior juicy. (Now that I think about it - aren't the top parts always the best? Like the top part of cakes and cupcakes, and the top part of muffins? I believe there was a Seinfeld episode in which Elaine said someone should only sell the top part of muffins).
Anyways, for $10.95, they give you so much mac and cheese that we had a hard time finishing it. Next time, we'll order their "Teenie Weenie Mac and Cheese" for $6.50. This was probably the best example of a traditional take on a classic. The cheesy bowl from Chat 'n Chew was the second best mac and cheese we've tried, coming in second after the unique mac and cheese from the Inn.
