So I'm a bit overdue on this one. I had brunch with Lindsay the Lunch Belle two Sundays ago and I didn't get a chance to post about it. My sincere apologies. I love Mexican food, but Lindsay is something of a Mexican-food connoisseur, so I trusted her judgement when […]

Esperanto Does Lunch and Happy Hour
Even though I'm sure this weather won't last, it still gets me thinking about those glorious Spring and Summer days where you can sit outside and have a great meal with friends, and clearly, Esperanto has been thinking about it too. The East Village South American/Brazilian bistro is starting a […]

For those of you who aren't up for cooking AND don't want to spend a lot of dough this Passover, why not check out Henry's on the UWS? On Tuesday, March 30th, for just $39 pp, you get a 3-course traditional Passover seder in a lovely modern American bistro setting. […]
Minetta Tavern
I love a good brunch, but more importantly, I love a good burger. Where do you go to satisfy both needs? Only one place in my book: Minetta Tavern. Me and my friend Lindsay aka The Lunch Belle have been dying to test out Minetta’s famed Black Label Burger for […]
Bistro Vendome
In the glorious land of Midtown East, the abundance of French restaurants makes it hard for a new one to stand out. Unless, of course, you happen to make delicious Mussels Provencale and a steak that melts in your mouth… Bistro Vendome, opened just last week on 58th st between […]
Bice
This past weekend, I took a little time machine and landed in a romantic comedy from the 80’s, having dinner no less. Bice in midtown has that classic, fancy-New-York-restaurant vibe somehow (maybe because it’s been around since 1926??), and if the service wasn’t so damn friendly, I would have been […]
Scarpetta
Restaurants that are backed and operated by a celebrity chef usually don’t interest me much, especially when they’re located in the meatpacking district. Overhyped and usually overpriced, these words are more often than not, indicative of the restaurant scene in this trendy locale. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and Scott Conant’s […]
The “Oh Crap” Heard Round the World…
Some breaking news in the restaurant biz from the Board of Health: The Board of Health is currently soliciting public comments on a proposal to publicly grade New York City restaurants on their sanitary conditions. Under a new proposed system, restaurants would receive grades of A, B or C, depending […]
Pictures from Florida/Cooking with Safta
Good to be back! I have returned from Florida, relatively unscathed. Jewish guilt? Check. Blotchy sunburn? Check. Family recipes from my Safta? CHECK. So excited about those. It's a shame I don't know how to spell half of them, but I'll just describe them: Foshert (my best guess as to […]
I’m Off To Florida!
That's right – I am off to Ft. Lauderdale to visit my grandmother (isn't that why anyone goes to Ft. Lauderdale?). I will be in hot pursuit of homemade chopped liver, kugel, cheese balls (recipe to come hopefully..), and babka. All the while taking in some sun and enjoying some […]
