Great. Day. Today. My final stop of the day was at Waterzooi, a favorite dining destination of us Schwartz girls. My mom, sister, and good friends took me there for an early birthday dinner. My birthday is not for a couple weeks, but they wanted to celebrate with me while I was down in NY visiting. We went for the early bird special at 5:45 and it’s now 10:00 and I’m still full. I no longer think vomiting is in my near future, but I’m pretty sure I won’t have to eat anything tomorrow. MUSSEL MANIA it was for me. If you like mussels, you seriously must go to Waterzooi. Go. Commonly, mussels are served in a garlicky, wine sauce or something like that, but at Waterzooi, the sky is pretty much the limit. I got the Bouillabase pot of mussels which of course includes mussels along with shrimp and lobster in a saffron, crab, tomato broth. It was out of this world. And, just in case I decide to eat tomorrow, I have enough left to serve the crew coming down to the beach tomorrow.
My huge pot of mussels!
