Spinach Saag Paneer from Jaffron in New Hope, Pennsylvania

Saag Paneer from Jaffron

This week I've been hanging around the East Coast. Whenever I venture back home to the NY tri-state area, there is always a few pit stops I make a point to visit while I'm over here.

One of them is New Hope, PA. It feels like a fairly isolate town--miles and miles of cows, stretches of farmlands, and rivers away. But the drive to New Hope is so pretty, and worth spending the additional 10 or 15 minutes taking the scenic route rather than the highways. There's a lot of interesting shops around new hope -- you can buy clothes or get your palms read. 

Most importantly, there are ample opportunities to eat spinach.

We decided to get spinach (along with chicken korma and sizzling salmon) at Jaffron--a small Indian restaurant tucked away a bit off of the main street. Glad we went!

At Jaffron, there's enough to go around.

There were six of us in total sitting at my table, and all of us agreed that the food was delicious. It is very filling and served in large family style bowls, so you can definitely share! Be prepared to be very full if you decide to stop in Jaffron the next time you're in town...it's easy to loose track of how much spinach you're eating when it's so tasty.

Spinach on,

Street Spinach: Hilton Cafe Spinach Sandwich Melt


Had to share.

I knew my boss had good taste...this is yummy melt my boss got out to lunch at Hilton Cafe in Ferndale MI. If I knew this sandwich came fully equipped with spinach, I would have likely ordered it as opposed to my standard soup that day. Though I must say...if you are a soup fan, you'll be a fan of all the soup Hilton Cafe offers. 

I found this image of Effie the owner and the interior on urbane apts -- and it's very telling! I think there will likely be a lot more Hilton Cafe sourced spinach goodness featured here...because I go there all of the time. And Effie knows how to cook some spinach! 


So if you had to take a wild guess about where I am around lunch time on any given day...chances are it's here!
