Aside from Christmas, it really is the most wonderful time of the year…well for me at least. By now, I think it's safe to assume that most people know how shiz goes down with RW (2 weeks, 3-course dinner for $35, 3-course lunch for $24.07), yet one thing remains consistent: […]

Spicy Pork Sandwich from Big D’s Grub
Oh Relatively Wordless Wednesdays, what have I got for you today? Just a massive, tasty sandwich from the Big D's Grub truck. Black and yellow.. As I was getting off the subway last night, I spotted this bright yellow truck on Bedford and North 7th. No, not Van Leeuwen (they're […]
Some Bites From Blondie’s
As you know, I have a small weakness for wings. Last Friday I went to see Florence and The Machine at Central Park's Summer Stage (awesome btw), and we were all ravenous by the time we left. What happens when you put a bunch of cranky, hungry food-lovers together? Overeating […]
Another Market for the Burg!
Oh Williamsburg, you ever-growing mecca of culture and food…I heart. This weekend marks the debut of The Northside Flea Market, which consists of the usual Brooklyn flea market suspects: music, art, and food. Some of the food vendors said to be in attendance are Eton on Vanderbilt, Cantina Royal, Le […]
Black & Tan Brownies…Made With Beer!
As I was browsing around Uncrate.com (one of my faves), I spotted these little gems and thought "why are these not in my mouth right now?!" Photo courtesy of Batch From Scratch Batch from Scratch brings you their "Black & Tan" brownie/cookie: a fudgy, Guinness stout brownie is covered in […]

Just in time for Thirsty Thursday, I have an offer you shouldn't refuse! Get Real NY is hosting the Belgian Beer Festival on July 8th and 9th, and if you enter discount code 'skinnypig', you will receive $20 off your ticket to any session, any day. HOLLER. You know you […]
Happy Summer!
To kick off the summer, I thought I'd share some pics of my favorite "cool" summer treats…enjoy! Peanut Butter cookie and chocolate ice cream sandwich from none other than The Meatball Shop. Drool. Straciatella and Chocolate gelato from Grom. So creamy it's ridiculous. Ben & Jerry's "Late Night Snack" […]
Pierre Loti Wine Bar
When the going gets tough, the tough gets…wine. Or maybe that's just how I do things. In the midst of a rather hectic week, I found some time to stop by my old stomping ground (Midtown East) and try out Pierre Loti, the newest location of this French-inspired wine bar. […]
Newton’s Fruit Thins Meet Lemon-Honey Cheesecakes
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program, I received these Fig & Honey Newton's Fruit Thins cookies to sample. The cookies are actually quite delicious with their crisp texture and flecks of fig and cinnamon; they're begging to be dunked in coffee or tea. And at 140 calories for three cookies, they're fairly guilt-free […]
Happy National Lobster Day!
Yes, apparently that is today. To celebrate the occasion, I dropped by Luke's Lobster last night and had one of their famous lobster rolls. And spicy crab and potato bisque soup. But we won't focus too much on that until March 9th of next year (National Crabmeat Day…duh). Here's my […]
