Post Call Eats

Had a rough night on call? Go eat somewhere awesome and tell us about it!

I got demolished this weekend- one of the worst calls I've ever had. PCE's had to be pizza, pasta or a burger, so I settled on @auntjakesnyc in Little Italy and my stomach and I were quite happy with the decision. "Cavatelli with your Sunday Sauce" I said. Out came delicious homemade pasta bathed in homemade tomato sauce with short rib, sausage and veal. I need at least 5 more visits to mix and match their pasta and sauces- can't wait!

Working through the night and into the morning really made me work up an appetite. My team and I ate quite poorly so #postcalleats had to be a little nutritious this time- enter @littlecollinsnyc . Corn fritters with avocado smash and red pepper tapenade. Damnnn good!!! Get there, eat it, be happy.

It was a long and emotional night of call. Exhausted, I slept late and awoke craving one thing- pancakes. The easy choice would have been Clinton St., but my journey lead me to The Wild Son and this beauty of a plate. Buttermilk pancakes with berries, bananas and warm honey butter- sounds so good, right? Well it was!! Get yourself there soon. Certified #postcalleats #thewildson #pancakes #doctors #eeeats #nycfood #nycfoodie (at The Wild Son)

I had the incredible pleasure of dining with @ktsalter for Post Call Eats and so we decided to check out Pig Bleecker. We quickly realized that a group is truly needed to conquer and share the menu there, but I digress... After some tasty deviled eggs, we jumped right into Grandma Val's Meatball Hero with Smoked Di Palo's Mozzarella on Sesame Garlic Bread. Awesome meatballs sitting cozily in delicious garlic bread cut in thirds. Probably better to be shared as it gets to be a lot of bread- but meaty, flavorful and delicious nonetheless! See you (and that dessert menu) again @pigbleeckernyc . Certified #postcalleats #eeeeeats #foodie #doctor #eats #foodblogger (at Pig Bleecker)

A light shift calls for a light postcall lunch. @infatuation and @ktsalter had great things to say about Jean-George's vegetarian spot @abcvnyc so Tuesday was not a burger day (like my brain wanted). ABC always does cool and clean well and they did it again @abcvnyc . I started with a delicious mushroom and barley soup and followed with their crazy delicious spaghetti! Homemade spinach pasta, meyer lemon, fermented garlic, parmigiano and broccoli, with a poached egg on top- really great. I won't hesitate to come back here and recommend it to everyone!

Luckily my call wasn't too eventful, so I met my wife for a postcall lunch. Credit for finding this new gem goes to her-one of the reasons why I love her so much! @dailyprov is the new Danny Meyer coffee and sandwich joint and it will not disappoint you. Their incredible team helped us navigate the menu and we settled on 2 sandwiches- the rotisserie chicken and the chicken Milanese. Our favorite, the Milanese, has mozzarella, kale, peppers, and caesar vinaigrette- simple, but oh so delicious!! We finished the meal with some of their trending Crullers (my lady bought them that morning!) and those were sweet as well. I want to go back already- maybe for breakfast this time!

Another overnight transplant and another food adventure. This time, my pops was in town and we happened to be too close to @charliebirdnyc to pass it by! Honestly, everything we ate was awesome- Wellfleet Oysters, Chanterelle Tagliatelle and their Crispy Half Chicken. The oysters were some of the best we have ever had, the pasta was spot on and the chicken was perfect!

It was a long hibernation after an all-night heart and kidney transplant, but when I finally woke up, I was starving! I decided to check a box I have been waiting to complete for a long time- and so I found myself at Carbone. The fresh and incredible homemade Mozzarella to start reminded me of Torrisi of course- ridiculously good. After the Cesar salad with life size croutons, came the main event; spicy Rigatoni Vodka and Meatballs. The pasta was delicious, silky smooth and spicy. But that meatball...ooooh that meatball. Perfection, outstanding, and magnificent. I am already planning my next visit to try everything else and of course the carrot cake! Absolutely certified #postcalleats #pce #eeeats #carbone #doctors

A decent night of call means plenty of time to sleep and I can wake up feeling refreshed. I found myself wandering around NoHo and you know what they say- when in NoHo go to Il Buco Alimentaria! The team @ilbuco_av always knows how to make a killer sandwich and today was no different. Prosciutto, salami, eggplant, mint and pistachio on the best focaccia out there. If you haven't gone, go. If you have, go back now! Top sammie in the city. Absolutely certified #postcalleats #eeeats #doctors #ilbucoalimentari (at il Buco Alimentari & Vineria)

Although thoracic kept me at work late, it was a quiet night otherwise. Woke up, got rejected from @sugarfishbynozawa and stumbled into @gramercyfandf for their tasty burger. 2 strips of candies bacon and cheddar cheese on top of a delicious meat patty. 2 minor complaints- the bacon was too hard for a burger and the bun was way too big. But the fries, oh those fries, took the plate to the next level. Cool place, good burger and plenty of other good looking food on the menu.

If only all calls were like last night. A CABG done at a decent hour and home to rest up for a day of catch-up doctors appointments! In light of my yearly physical, my fiancé sent me to eat something (relatively) healthy- the Avocado Smash @bluestonelane . A ridiculously huge serving of avocado with tahini, heirloom cherry tomatoes, feta, sunflower sprouts & e.v.o.o piled on toast from Balthazar. Oh yea, don't forget to add the poached egg and salmon on top. Everything about this was awesome- nuff said. It's a bit on the sweeter side and needs some kick, but nonetheless it was gone quite quickly!!! Get an outside table, some coffee and this bad boy next time you are in the 90's, you wont't be sorry.

Not a terrible night on call with the surgery team. Any night I get home by 11 is good to me! I took a recommendation from @kenflax and headed out to @mileenddeli -an old school Jewish deli with Canadian roots. The Smoked meat sandwich comes on light rye with mustard and was tasty. Big chunks of delicious smoked meat is always awesome and this is no exception. Unfortunately, I thought it was just a little bit plain. Maybe simple and delicious is their goal-it worked! The poutine, recommended by my colleague, was actually quite disappointing. What tasted like cheese curds and a couple of french fries could have been done a lot better- maybe it was just an off-day for the poutine cook! Finally, deli always tastes one star better with Dr.Browns, any flavor makes me happy. Overall, my experience was good- delicious meat,albeit plain, marred by poor Canadian cuisine. Nonetheless thanks Kflax! Certified *good #postcalleats . #eeeats #deli #doctors #lunch #newyorkeats (at Mile End Delicatessen)

#latergram to my post call trip to Austin when I went directly to @UGonnaEatOrWhat for the famous Shiner Monte Cristo. Second time visitor and I am an addict- absolutely one of the top sandwiches I have ever had. This Shiner Bock beer-battered sammie has smoked ham and mesquite-smoked turkey, cheddar and provolone cheese and a homemade cherry-fig jelly. Oh, don't forget that little sprinkling of powdered sugar. Ridiculous sounding, right? Just try it, I guarantee you will love it- it's "the jam!" 100% certified #postcalleats (at Austin, Texas)

Had a rare opportunity for some pre-call eats so I spent it @ribaltanyc !! I am a pizza snob so my "Pexpectations" are always very high. Fortunately, this didn't disappoint. Mushrooms, artichokes, and Prosciutto Di Parma on top of some of the best pie dough in the city. To me, the difference between good neapolitan pizza and great is the crust- @ribaltanyc nails it! Salty, doughy and crispy crust make this a special Za. Absolutely certified #postcalleats . #pizzanyc #eeeats #ribaltanyc #neapolitanpizza (at Ribalta Pizza)

Sometimes all it takes is one cupcake. #latergram to my postcalleats in Chicago. This ridiculously delicious chocolate chip and banana cupcake comes from the one and only @sweetmandybs. Everything they touch turns to gold and then goes into my stomach and gets certified #postcalleats !!!#eeeats #dessert #chicago #cupcakes #doctors #postcall (at Sweet Mandy B's)

Emerging from my post-late/pre-OB slumber, I thought I oughta spend a paycheck on a burger because BACON MARMALADE. Situated on the corner of Houston and Bowery, Cherche Midi is unassuming on the outside and absolutely enchanting on the inside. Mustard yellows, deep reds, and bright pistachio colors adorn this well-lit French bistro, but the food steals the show. Their signature burger is earns the price-tag: cooked medium-rare unless otherwise specified, complemented with roast mushrooms, aged Gruyere, and of course bacon marmalade, accompanied with a mountain of well-done fries. I washed it down with a Diet Coke because I'm watching my figure, and because of the 30 epidurals I'll probably do tonight, but their impressive drink selection and knowledgable bartender warrant a trip back for seconds.

Post call afternoon snack anyone? How about an incredibly delicious and decadent Red Velvet Croissant from @unionfare? What a creation! Definitely certified #postcalleats . #eeeats #unionfare #redvelvet #doctors (at Union Fare)
