Mmmm… Don't worry, I don't know how to pronounce it either, but I have to give credit where credit is due for this one. A big thanks to Mr. Hal Oral for finding this recipe, asking me to make it, while all he has to do is show up and […]

Vosges Haut Chocolat
Something that makes ME happy in the winter (or any season) is chocolate. Recently, I had a somewhat magical experience with this new brand of chocolate called Vosges. Ever heard of it? Me neither, but we received a gift basket the other day at work FILLED with their special chocolates. […]
It’s Too Cold
to blog today. I'm sorry. I can't feel my fingers. Just kidding. Although it really is too cold out. This is not ok. I love New York, but I DESPISE winter. Every year when it gets blistery and miserable I tell myself I'm moving to California. Then I remember that […]
Eolo Brings (More) Creativity to Chelsea
When was the last time you said the phrase, "I'm in the mood for Sicilian"? I don't think I've ever said it, but maybe I should start. I got a little taste of newcomer Eolo the other day, and Chef Melissa Muller-Daka is determined to make Eolo stand out from […]
Happy Hannukah! It’s Latkes Time!
I'm reposting this from last year. Not because I'm lazy (even though I'm kind of lazy), but because it's a necessary tradition on Hannukah to make yummy potato latkes and not much has really changed since then. Last year I forgot it was Hannukah, and this year I did too; […]
Holiday Foodie Gifts

Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich
Hope all of your Thanksgivings were marvelous. Mine was pretty damn fat-tastic. My mom and I made two turkey breasts (we only eat the white meat so this worked out well for us), and we brined the crap out of them. What's brining? It's essentially a sugar/salt/water bath for your […]
Thanksgiving Dinner Out and About in NYC
For those of you not staying home and cooking this Thanksgiving (like me) or traveling home for the holidays, below are some options for dining out in the city. Some are traditional, some are different, and some are prix fixe; basically there's something for everyone. I discovered recently that there […]
Some Sweets from The Brooklyn Flea
Even though I seemed to have a touch of the flu (or something weird) this weekend, I mustered up just enough energy to make a trip over to the last outdoor Brooklyn Flea before they move it indoors next weekend. I had some things on my to do list that […]
Opening of Forty Four at The Royalton with The Cocktail Collective
I stopped in to the opening of Forty Four at The Royalton (brought to you by Morgans Hotel Group) for some drinks and small bites with The Cocktail Collective, a group of specially selected expert bartenders from around the country. The space was really nice (see pics above), but it was very […]
