My good friend Vivian is in town and while we were trying to figure out what NY food she might miss most while living abroad in Shanghai, we came up with Mama's Food Shop. I can't remember exactly who discovered Mama's or when we started going there- High School or early college? But we (all my HS buddies that went to NYU + some) all loved it. Carlos and I couldn't get enough of that banana cream pie, and maybe that was the one dish that inspired him to become a pastry chef...
Anyway we headed there Friday night and were not disappointed. Everything is almost exactly the same (more paintings!) and the staff are still super hippie and ultra nice. Viv and I were thinking that we should have our get-togethers there in the future. They've since rearranged the space a bit and it's fairly roomy.
Ahh, our good 'ol days. (I love love my HS era friends, and don't mean to make us sound ancient!)
