On Earth Day, I attended a blogger meet and greet at\u00a0Sk\u00e1l on the Lower East Side. This event was hosted the lovely folks at Tabelog to celebrate the completion of their spring 2014 restaurant awards. They even let me bring John along for the evening. Sk\u00e1l, which means \u201ccheers!\u201d, is an Icelandic farm kitchen with modern Nordic cuisine. How strange it was to find a Scandinavian restaurant right by Chinatown. It\u2019s a charming space, and it\u2019ll definitely stand out in the area. John and I arrived a little late (hah, typical), and the restaurant was already packed with other food bloggers.
