Upon further reflection, this post should probably be renamed my weekend ENGULFED in food. I attended the Midtown Lunch 5th Birthday Party on Saturday, then the Big Apple Barbecue Festival on Sunday. Vegetarians be forewarned, I probably ate two pigs and a small cow this weekend. Who am I kidding…vegetarians […]
Food and Drink
Press 195 and Martha’s Country Bakery in Queens
Sometimes you have to show love for your roots. When I'm in Queens (my hometown), I always get the same food from the same places. This is not the norm for me, but when you don't have these things on the regular anymore, I think it's allowed. Take for example, Press 195 […]
Lot On Tap Opens Today
Not wanting to be left out of the beer garden craze, Tom Colicchio is bringing Lot On Tap, a massive 350-seat outdoor bar, under Chelsea's newly expanded Highline at 30th street and 10th ave. Run by Colicchio's restaurant, Colicchio & Sons, the "tap room" will be serving sodas, wine and an assortment […]
What’s In The Middle of Relatively Wordless Wednesdays? Sigmund’s Pretzel Cart
Last weekend I decided to spend a day being a cultured New Yorker: I visited the 2nd avenue street fair on the UES, then walked up to the Met to take in the Alexander McQueen exhibit, Savage Beauty. I went to FIT, so you would think it would move […]
Pinkberry’s New Salted Caramel Flavor
When I close my eyes and go to my happy place, I imagine that I am sunbathing on an exotic island somewhere with Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper-type pool boys feeding me this. Ok that's a slight exaggeration…there's only one pool boy. When my friend Megan told me about this new […]
David Burke Kitchen’s Monkey Bread
Known for his whimsy and creativity, David Burke never ceases to impress me. Last week at David Burke Kitchen, I had the joy of partaking in this delicious, over the top, ridiculously gooey dessert. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Monkey Bread for Two. The pics don't do it justice but […]
Happy National Doughnut Day!
Apparently my reputation precedes me…already three people have sent notifications alerting me to the fact that it is National Doughnut Day. I was skeptical because last year it was June 5th, so I did some research and it turns out that the first Friday of June is and always will […]
Midtown Lunch Fifth Birthday Party!
Since I'm not cool enough to throw anniversary parties for my blog, I will promote someone else who is. Midtown Lunch, the popular blog that covers all Midtown food is throwing a party to commemorate their 5th anniversary. For those of you who don't know about Midtown Lunch, I think […]
Outdoor Dining Summer 2011 Style
When did it become summer? Sometime over the weekend apparently, and now I'm getting the questions about where to go for outdoor drinking and dining. I prefer the term "Alfresco" because it sounds European and nothing says European like eating outside while enjoying a glass of your favorite alcoholic bev. […]
Bites From Bon Chon Chicken
In keeping with the Wednesday tradition of "good things in the middle" (and Relatively Wordless Wednesdays) I decided to go with fried chicken and dumplings from Bon Chon. Take in all the super crispy, spicy, perfection.. That just looks SO healthy, doesn't it? This chicken is so juicy with the crispiest […]
