WONDERFUL PURPLE YAM ON JUNE 28

On Monday night we celebrated Jenn’s birthday having a great dinner with Matt, Meredith and David at Purple Yam in Brooklyn. This fantastic restaurant is managed by Amy Besa and Romy Dorotan and its specialty is Filipino home cooking. The experience, the service and the food was outstanding and definitely we will come back.
