Downtown on Ice

After a failed attempt on Saturday afternoon, we finally got to go ice skating at Pershing Square last night.  A tip if you plan to visit Pershing Square downtown on ice on a weekend, Go Early!  Last weekend we went around noon and it was sold out until 6pm!  Weekday evenings are a less busy choice.  And, in my opinion, nighttime ice skating with all the lights and chilly air, and warm clothes just give the experience that little something extra.

After ice skating we tried Mas Malo, a fairly new restaurant located on the lower level, below Seven Grand (one of my favorite downtown watering holes).  Chris was quite excited when he saw chewy chips on the menu.  I had never had them before but they were quite delicious!  I also realized I love any drink with mezcal, an alcoholic beverage from Oaxaca that's made from agave. It has this smokey taste that I just love!

Stay tuned for lots of cooking posts.  Im making my first ever Christmas dinner for Chris and I Tuesday night!
