Yogurt-Covered Pretzels
Sorry this is totally random but that's what Chowhound is for, right? My mother-in-law is from Panama. Last time she visited us we lived in Brooklyn and I got her those white yogurt-covered pretzels from Sahadis. She loved them. Now she's visiting again and they are all she talks about. The problem is I don't live anywhere near Brooklyn anymore (I'm in Central Jersey) though I do work in Manhattan, Union Square. I assume there must be someplace near here like Sahadi's that sells really good yogurt-covered pretzels, but I don't know where. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Impress my boss in Union Square
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. I tried making a reservation at A Voce and couldn't, but I did get one at Crispo so that's likely where we'll go. Earlier someone asked about the kind of people coming to town ... honestly other than the fact that they are the top executives of my company, I know little about their personal tastes. (They did specifically request Italian.) Crispo seems to get good reviews all around so I bet it will work out well. Thanks again.
Impress my boss in Union Square
The Chairman/CEO of my parent company will be in town this Thursday with five other executives; it will be total of eight people at dinner. They are from *very* out of town (Nebraska) and asked for a great NYC Italian meal. They will be visiting our regional office here in Union Square and staying at the W; I'd like to keep it within walking distance. I have a preliminary reservation at Borgo Antico but then read a lot of negative comments about it on this board which concerns me. So please help: where can I get an Italian meal that impresses out-of-towners on business, at least somewhat near Union Square, and I need to have a realistic chance of getting a reservation for 8 people on Thursday? (So it can't be Babbo...) This is NY ... such a place must exist. Thanks!
