Sunday Lunch/Brunch - italian?

Thank you Cheery - it looks beautiful but the egg dishes for brunch look a little too adventurious for my mother and her sisters (ranging betw 70 & 76)

Sunday Lunch/Brunch - italian?

Mom and her sisters love to go to Trattoria Alba for lunch - Unfortunately they are no longer open for lunch on a Sunday

Looking for a place that doesnt rush you out the door on Sunday. Not an Irish/pub feel or a diner. Or a Korean/Mexican place. Not some place that simlar to a Sarabeths or a Penelopes that you might have to wait long for a table of 4
Preferrably under $25
Between 30 & 37th streets - 6th avenue and 2nd avenue

Thanks!

the restaurant was really quaint inside... and their salads were wonderful

Hopefully they will open their new location nearby.....

prickly pear margarita

thank you all for your responses - i'll keep on trying :)

prickly pear margarita

i did the mesh strainer as well.... (the 1st batch) my question is more for people who know about the pear - is the inside supposed to be all seeds? i didnt see much "meat"

prickly pear margarita

I have had these before and very tasty - but never tried it at home
i found this recipe
http://www.saveur.com/article/Drink-Recipes/Prickly-Pear-Margarita
followed the directions - but...
when i cut open the pear... it was all seeds - i didnt really see any "meat"
i basically squeezed it through cheesecloth - but in essence it was just juice i was getting out of it
did i do something wrong? or are there various types of prickly pears?

thanks!
Kim
