I’m on a mission to drag my sister to every greasy spoon in Westchester and Southern Connecticut. This weekend I tripped up to Larchmont via Metro North to go to the Harbour House Coffee Shop. The service was great, the look and feel was 20th century chic and the food was tasty. My all time favorite spot is the Sugar Bowl in Darien. I dream of living there one day and devoting all Sunday mornings to the Fairfield County institution. Photos from today’s mission below.

Not with sex or drugs, but with pork buns from the Japanese ramen restaurant Ippudo. Its ridiculous I know, but these little buns are just so tasty. My friends and I have isolated the allure to either one of three factors, the pork, the oddly textured buns, or the mysterious sauce. We aren’t really narrowing it down, I know. Regardless, the little sandwiches are sent from heaven and the ramen ain’t too shabby either. Getting a seat without a long wait at Ippudo can be challenging —the restaurant does not take reservations— but the wait is always worth it for the great tasting Japanese comfort food.
