Travel Journal posts share recent adventures that were so good we just can’t keep them to ourselves!
Jacob’s Pickles, UWS, NYC
On our recent trip to New York, we had lunch at Jacob’s Pickles at the recommendation of a friend…thanks, Christina! It was everything we were looking for and more. A casual spot to grab a bite after our flight in from Miami, comfort food, a chill vibe, cool crowd, and modern yet rustic decor. The “more” was maybe the best bloody mary I’ve ever had which we returned for the next afternoon. But I digress. On our first visit (in 24 hours) to Jacob’s Pickles on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, after torturing ourselves with a menu of endless tempting options of Beer, Biscuits, and Pickles (what they’re known for), we finally chose the following…
What We Ate (and Drank):
Sprecher Root Beer, Wisconsin rich, creamy flavor, pure wisconsin honey, caffeine-free, glutenfree
Saranac Root Beer, New York vanilla rich, creamy flavor, spicy, caffeine-free
Southern B.L.T Biscuit Sandwich buttermilk fried chicken, fried green tomato, pickle slaw, sterling bacon served with grain miller organic cheese grits
Pickles & Cheese Burger 2 year aged vermont cheddar, hot relish mayo, caramelized onions, hot sours, fresh cut fries
Bloody B.L.T. Tito’s Peppercorn House Infused Vodka, Niman Ranch bacon, jalapeño pickled egg
Me & Joe, Rootbeers, The Southern BLT, and Honey Chicken & Pickles
It was even better than it looks. Rich biscuits, crunchy chicken, mouth-watering sour pickles, crisp & salty fries, and a juicy burger. Oh, and those grits that I usually pass on? I was scraping that silver dish clean. We were so stuffed we had to pass on dessert which, if you know us, is pretty unheard of. But we had reservations at Toro hours later (more to come on that hot spot soon) so had to cut ourselves off before total food coma. We did spot their Bloody BLT at another table while we were there and heard rave reviews so we headed back the next afternoon for that delightful refreshment seen here. And, wow. Spiced to perfection in a mason jar with a slice of crispy bacon, a romaine leaf, and a jalepeño pickled egg on top. I’d fly back for one right now.

Seriously, what I’d do for one of these on a Monday. Cheers to a finding fantastic things along your travels!
