#47 - Trinacria - but no calling ahead - we need to wait in line


December 11

While on the topic of Pastores, it did remind us of the amazing trip to Trinacria. And, as previously mentioned, we have been too busy eating to post blogs so are now playing catch up. Kind of bad to compare Trinacria to Pastores, but I'm sure its been done before!

Trinacria was like walking into an amazing store filled with Italian goodies. And, loads of people standing around wanting to order. We finally figured out how to get a number (when we weren't distracted by all the goodies on the shelves!). Of course, ordering was not easy because we really wanted one of everything! Mozzarella sandwich for Heather and Sara. All the meat behind the counter for Tim (along with fresh mozzarella - put the mozzarella Sara got at Whole Foods to shame). Really good olives. No place to eat there so we took it to Lexington Market to have with the chicken livers!

This place is definitely worth going back to! Of course, it's not much to speak of from the outside. In fact, it's a few blocks from Lexington Market, in the wrong direction. But, great Italian groceries, cheap Italian wine, fun cookies. Oh and a 5 pound bag of pasta for the holiday party. And an espresso bar at the deli counter and super nice staff!

PS - just today, Tim referenced wanting to go to Trinacria in an email. We are so proud to be expanding all of our horizons!

PPS - Fun trivia, Trinacria is Italian for triangle.
