Little Giant, with Lauren

We had a blind lunch date today at Little Giant with a long time reader and now new friend, Lauren. Lunch companions aside, today's dining experience could not have been more different than yesterday's disappointing one. Friendly service, good and fresh food and reasonable prices does not seem to much to ask for. Perfect for lunch, the side dish serving of grafton cheddar mac and cheese with bacon more than amply filled our bellies while today's kitchen sink pasta (orecchiette pasta, ricotta and tomatoes) was irresistible with the addition of a fried egg. No question, when looking for fresh American cuisine, there is no need to trek over to the West Village when Little Giant provides it right here in our backyard.
