Perfect Friday!

My first sampling of Indian cuisine in NYC was a treat to my pallete.Welcome to "Sangam", a small outlet in the Village area with a seating capacity of around ten. Whatever apprehensions our small group of five had with respect to the food was killed as soon as we took our first bites of the spread infront of us.Tender lamb and chicken kebabs seasoned perfectly, delicious biryani, chicken korma paired with paranthas and naans; each bite was a job well done.Phirni and Gulab jamuns were a fine choice to end the dinner with,although the gajar ka halwa would also have been an equally good pick.
This area called village has a unique feel to it. Be it the open seating arrangements, the hippy crowd it is famous for, or the fact that its proximity to the NYU campus makes it a favourite destination for it’s students, the vibe hits you instantly!
Next stop Comedy Shop. A standup comedy show comprising of seven comics with ‘expertise’ in different subjects. Hilarious most of the times but could also be a little unpleasant if you lack the appetite for certain topics. We of course had a blast. Especially since two of the entertainers enjoyed picking on hubby dearest after he was ‘Christened’ ‘Sanjay’. Christian was what the first comic’s name and so the statement above was an attempted joke. Get it? Never mind am sure it isn’t that funny after all!
Our bones were ticked enough to last throughout the pubbing and the taxi ride back home, followed by a cup of amazing tea before we called it a day at 5 AM. Eight hours later, a second cup of morning tea and a typical Indian brunch of ‘Aloo Jhol’ and Pooris followed(The line cooks and the head chefs well demarcated by the division of activities amongst the five of us).The delicious meal was a good enough excuse for a luxurious afternoon nap.And here I am post my slumber, refreshed and revived sharing my experiences with you.
Yes,I had a great Friday.Great food,great company and great entertainment!
