New York City?!
(Quote from a popular Pace Picante Salsa commercial)
Chocolate Banana Butter is made in Texas:
However, the creation is partly thanks to a certain company in New York City.
Earlier this summer, we were ambling about in Greenwich Village when suddenly the PB&Co restaurant announces its presence on our radar screen.
Of course we had to go in. Behold, the wall of peanut butter and jelly!
The jars were a bit expensive. I can find the PB&Co nut butters at my local grocery store for a much better price. But I didn’t want to be rude… and they were kind enough to let me snap a few photos, so I bought a jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams.
I also found a new primate friend. But he stayed in the store after we left. Lucky guy, to be surrounded by peanut butter all day…
Later, we made our way over to Washington Square Park, a bustling-yet-peaceful site. (I especially love watching the dogs run around in the two dog parks.) On this day, we claimed a sunny park bench and basked in the NYC atmosphere. Time for a snack: the purchased DCD peanut butter paired perfectly with some organic raspberries, fresh from Lifethyme Natural Food Store.

Sounds like a perfect day. I don’t think I have ever seen that brand of PB where I live.

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT COMMERCIAL! Hahaha. Too funny.
I LOVE New York. (Who doesn’t, right?) I was just there in May & already I’m jealous that you were there recently! 😉
You look beautiful, as always!

I used to live right next door to PB&Co! I really miss that place, especially the Elvis sandwich 🙂

I agree you do look so lovely on the bench! 😀 Can you believe I’ve never tried the PB&Co stuff?? I wanted to stop by their shop when I was in NY, but I didn’t have enough time 🙁 Next time though!

i had almost an identical nyc experience a few months ago!! was wandering manhatten per usual and stumpled upon PB&co!! I had never tried it, but since you and others are always raving about it, i had to stop it. It was expensive, but there were just so nice I had to buy something. I chose the chocolate too! it was tasty, but in all honesty i prefer my nut butters unsweetened and all natural-stirring required!!
i then proceeded to walk up to chelsea-and it wasnt till I got to the whole foods at about 60th? that i realized i didn’t have my wallet. miracle of all miracles, i called pb&co and it was still sitting on their counter. unbelievable! I did A LOT of walking that day!!
lol
were you in nyc??

Oh. My. God. A store devoted to nothing but peanut butter? Where do I sign?!
Emily says
Dark chocolate Dreams is sooo good. I went through a jar in probably a week. 🙂 I haven’t found it around here yet, but maybe WF will have it? I’m sure it makes delicious banana butter.
You so look like a chic New Yorker in your trip photos! Love the cute scarf!
