Fresh Salt

One of the things I love about New York City is how everything is online and how there’s a review of everything I’ve looked for. Can’t remember the name of a shop that I went to in Dumbo, Brooklyn - googled it and found the P.S. Bookstore (I only later noticed that there was a banner at the back with the name printed on it). Can’t remember where I had a meatloaf sandwich but remember getting lost around Pier 17 - googled “meatloaf sandwich Pier 17” and found Fresh Salt. Good thing their meatloaf sandwich is apparently “the best” so there were many hits on Yelp and other food review sites.

Fresh Salt is on 146 Beekman St (NY 10038). Small, pub like. I got lost trying to get their as there are two Beekman Streets or two (un-joined) parts of Beekman Street. I didn’t have GPS (roaming data was hugely expensive) and my tourist map wasn’t much of a help, neither were the multitudes of people I asked when I was on the other Beekman. And to top it off, the reception/speaker on the crappy Nokia disposable I had was so bad I couldn’t really hear the directions my friend Andrew on the other end was giving. I finally made it over to Pier 17 and wandered lost for ages till I was found.

I ordered the meatloaf sandwich coz it’s what they’re famous for. It tasted like a burger but I’ve never had meatloaf before (not after, actually) so I don’t know what to compare it to. And beers. Well, Kelly and I had white wines. Was a fun night before packing it in and me heading back to Andrew’s studio (he lent his apartment to me when I was there - thank you!!) and Kelly & him heading back over to Brooklyn.

Some other places that I (think I) didn’t get lost in around New York.
