Weekend food with Darina Allen: A week in New York

I spent a week in New York over the St Patrick’s Day festival. Even though the primary reason was to do events and interviews to promote Ireland and my latest book, Darina Allen, Simply Delicious: The Classic Collection (quite a mouthful!), it was also a brilliant opportunity to check out the New York and Brooklyn food scene.

Brooklyn has many tempting options. I love Roman’s, Marlow & Sons, The Diner, Hometown Bar B Que, and I also hear good things about Ugly Baby but we chose Chez Ma Tante (90 Calyer St) this time, and had a super delicious Sunday brunch, so good that I wished I’d been able to get back for dinner.
