Lifestyle: Spice in the City

Spice Market, originally uploaded by luckyfish.

In the city where dreams are made of and there is nothing you can’t do, buy, try or eat, exists an unbelievable establishment that continues to remain a popular choice to dine amongst an array of old and new restaurants in Manhattan. Located in the heart of the oh-so-hip and trendy Meat Packing District, Spice Market, has become a staple restaurant to celebrities and the masses.

Owned by one of the world’s most famous chefs, Jean - Georges Vongerichten, who delivers his remarkably exotic menu by traveling throughout South East Asia sampling street foods then translating them into his own delicious masterpieces.

Portions are made to share and all dishes are equally mouth-watering, however, I recommend the grilled strip steak with garlic coriander and sesame, with an order of green curry vegetables and ginger fried rice (to-die-for). If the mood calls for appetizers and drinks, there is an array of small dishes to whet your appetite; my personal favorites being the chicken skewer with lime dipping sauce or to satisfy that super spicy craving, opt for the spicy Thai fried chicken wings with mango and mint - yum!
