There Will Be Pig Blood
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some pig blood? I don't think it's legal here to sell in New York. Where can I get some? Nothing of uhh... too dubious origins (is that asking too much)? I'm seriously craving some delicious morcilla (the sweet kind that I had in Uruguay!) or soondae... I'm on a frantic pursuit to make my own, as this city is seriously lacking. Help, please.
ISO Upscale mid-week breakfast option for a group
I wouldn't recommend Country. It's highly lauded so I figured brunch should be decent... food mediocre, service terrible.
Brooklyn Chinese
If you like Shanghainese food check out Chui Hong Yuan on Bath Ave. It's a great family run, hole in the wall. It's the only place to get xia long bao in Brooklyn. The food is great!
Sephardic Food in New York
When we first moved to our neighborhood in Brooklyn we discovered a humusiot called Mimi's. It's a cute little place more cafe-ish rather than full on restaurant. They specialize in hummus but they have other dishes as well, mostly appetizer/salad fare. I believe the owners are Israeli. In the last few months it's gotten a bit of press in nytimes and nymag. Definitely check it out if you can... it's one of our favorites!

Must Eat Stops en route to Cape Cod from NYC
I am driving up to Cape Cod (Wellfleet) from NYC. I will be taking I-95 to I-195 to US6. Does anyone have any suggestions for top eating spots that should not be missed? It can be anywhere along the way or even out of the way if it's REALLY worth it! Thanks!
