Late night Saturday night Foodswings night

Saturday night I went out to The Cake Shop to see Kylesa and Stinking Lizaveta. Got to see off my new German friends, it was their last night in town, and enjoyed beers at Local Bar 138 with Kevin. It was our first time hanging out one on one and it ruled, he's really awesome to talk to, made the trip to Manhattan worthwhile.

I had no intention on watching Kylesa, seen them too many times, and I really can't understand their use of the two drummers lately. The place was packed so I just attempted to check out Stinking Lizaveta.
Not totally my favorite style of music, but the performance was rad from what I could see, glad I went.
I decided to leave and John suggested meeting him up at Foodswings. YES!
Could it be as good as the first time?!


Met up with John off the train, and his friend Brandon. Brandon was awesome! Super friendly, a Cleveland native living in Queens.

Foodswings is open later on Friday and Saturday, after a certain time they cut off the normal menu and provide a "late night munchies" menu. It definitely could have been more extensive. John says it's actually grown from previous years, and there are way more selections now. It being my second time I knew I could find something I wanted. I ordered a salami sandwich with dijonaise and soy cheese and a cookie dough milkshake, roughly $13. John got the 3 piece buffalo wings with fries and chili and a soda. Brandon got a pistachio milkshake with cheese fries topped with mushrooms.
They let us drink Brandon's beer while dining!

My sandwich was awesome, it was different than I expected, it had a flat bread panini aspect to it. John said it was different than the time he got it. The grilled bread was a nice touch, that plus the dijonaise made the sandwich special, turned it around from "something you could make at home". My milkshake was pretty good, it's made from a kosher ice cream that some grocery stores even sell her, called Kleins. Pretty awesome, not overly sweet, thick and creamy.

John's chili was awesome, really meaty, not watered down at all, and they give you a pretty big serving as a side.

Best part of the dinner - CIV was there!
