Where to Eat Near: Penn Station (Guide)
Ahh Penn Station. The toilet of New York City. I can say that, I’ve lived here my entire life and also it’s just true. When people ask me where to eat around here I usually say “20 blocks down and 2 avenues over”. But hey, I’m here to enlighten people […]
My Holiday Gift Guides: 2022
It’s Holiday Gift Guide time! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you probably saw that my mom was in the ER right before Thanksgiving Day, after falling and breaking 9 ribs. Yes, 9. She’s ok thankfully, and made it home in time for Thanksgiving, but I was […]
All’Antico Vinaio + Almost Famous (The Musical)
Maybe I’ll start a series called Shows & Sandwiches. I think it has legs. Not to mention my claim to IG fame basically started when I discovered my superhuman ability to hold unusually large sandwiches in one hand. I dubbed it the #sandwichclaw. Shout out to Anthony & Sons Panini […]
Best Pizza in NYC (2022)
I’ve written a few posts like this already, and I’m starting to wonder if I should even bother adding a date to it. Because at the end of the day, after all of my years eating pizza in this city, the top 5 don’t change much. That said, there are […]
London 2022: Food & Drink Recap
I’m one of those people who likes to plan my trips around my meals. There have been times when I created a spreadsheet of places that I wanted to visit, color coded by neighborhood and ranked by order of importance. This was not one of those times. This was my […]
Photography: Rule of Thirds, Explained
I had a new intern/assistant start with me last week, and we went on a photoshoot together at La Pecora Bianca in Bryant Park (wonderful Italian food, and one of my first clients back when I started my biz in 2018). While we were there, we discussed various food photography […]
4 Charles Prime Rib: Burger or French Dip?
This original post is from my Substack Newsletter, Musings of a Misfit Creative. Sign up for that here! I won’t always double post them, but this one felt fitting for the blog too. Enjoy. It’s a tricky question, but first you might be asking: who the hell is thinking about […]
Where to Eat Near: Rockefeller Center and Lincoln Center
A ton of people have been reaching out to me on Instagram recently asking for these suggestions! Certainly appropriate for the holidays since they are big on tourism (let’s not forget the giant tree in the middle of Rock Center), and they’re both “centers”, which is fun. Not going to […]
Pantry Pasta – Spaghetti w/Garlic, Olive Oil & Tomato Paste
I make this pasta all the time. To the point where people ask if I make anything else to share on my Instagram stories. In my defense, it’s just so damn easy. It’s essentially the Garlic/Olive Oil pasta from the movie Chef, which I’ve posted already a while ago, but […]
