Alright, this is not just a blog all about food. I just happen to really, really like a nice place to sit down, have a drink and eat some deliciousness. So, to mix things up a bit, I have to talk about the books I have been reading.

Over the Summer I really enjoyed the HBO series Game Of Thrones. I love anything medieval and even more so fantasy stories. After watching and re watching the series I decided to dive into the books, not knowing that there are 5 total. After reading the first, and having seen the faces of all the characters on HBO, the book was absolutely incredible. There is everything from romance, betrayal, sex, battles, scheming the list go's on and on.
I recently just finished reading the second book of the series, A Clash Of Kings. Now I am a George R.R. Martin nerd, I'm hooked!!! Ten times better then the first book. I've already ordered the third installment, A Storm Of Swords. The only thing that really upsets me, or mainly just drives me crazy, so many of the main characters die. It's actually very upsetting but in the end it only sucks you into this universe that much more!

Well, Valentines Day isn't really my favorite holiday. I think of it as more of a ploy for Hallmark and Russell Stovers to make some extra money. So, in resentment of Valentines Day I like to do things a little differently. Example: Going out to a Valentines Day lunch instead of dinner. I know thats not very different but everyone does something different to say no to the status quo.

China White Noodle Bar in Purchase, New York, delicious, nice ambiance, and even better cocktails. Finding an upscale, Chinese restaurtaunt is not the easiest thing in the world. However, China White is one of those diamonds in the ruff.  I ordered the General Tso's Fish dish and shared Sesame Chicken as well. The portions were great, somewhat pricy but still very good. 

For Drinks I ordered a lava flow and the girlfriend ordered a zombie cocktail. Both drinks were delicious, somewhat fruity but really good. Almost like a liquid dessert. Speaking of dessert we ordered the chocolate wontons and ice cream, Once again, simply delicious.

I'm Thirsty/Hungry and I'm in Westchester
Three words. Westchester. Burger. Company. I went there for dinner and an early celebration for this past Super Bowl. Giants Baby!!!!!!! Well, anyways besides the Giants beating the Patriots, again. This is probably one of the best places to eat and drink in the area. 
I had the southwest turkey burger with about 7 different toppings on it and a s'mores milkshake. It was incredible! Then for Dessert, a cinnabon sundae, which I was forced to share (unwillingly). WBC is a fun place with the occasional special too. Last Sunday they had a $10 pitcher of beer with a free order of wings or sliders, splendid. If you can, make the trip out!!!
