Kyotofu

Occasion: Pre-theatre (West Side Story matinee) lunch with Nellie
Location: Kyotofu on 9th Ave between 48th and 49th (kyotofu-nyc.com)
Edibles: carrot and miso soup; chicken and tofu burger


Musings: This place is probably most famous for its tofu desserts, but we thought we'd try it for lunch. I liked the soup, but for a slightly heavy hand with the miso. The burger was big and hearty, on a brioche bun with a great Asian bbq sauce. I couldn't taste the tofu at all, but it kept the burger wonderfully moist. Good value, at $13 for both courses.

(We skipped dessert and went up the block to Cold Stone Creamery for ice-cream. It was just that kind of wonderful, sunny day. My usual at Cold Stone - sweet cream ice-cream with graham cracker crust and pecans - was excellent as always.)
