Thirsty Thursdays – The Lazy Edition
Well I'm running on about 4 hours of sleep, so this should be a productive day for me. Considering the technical difficulties I faced last night with my computer, I didn't have adequate time to make a well-rounded post for Thirsty Thursdays. Drat! So here's what I got for this […]
What’s In The Middle? Doughnut Plant
Warning: a visit to the Doughnut Plant may result in temporary euphoria. This is the thing I love about being a foodie in New York City – just when you think something delicious can't be made to be even MORE delicious, someone does it. Enter Doughnut Plant. It's not […]
Tuesday Tastes: Eataly Part 2
So what did I buy from my trip to Eataly? How nice of you to ask. I bought (and made) the following.. Classic baguette from La Panetteria, prosciutto, and fresh mozzarella. So I made some prosciutto-wrapped melon. Here's that ridonkulous pancetta-provolone bread.. And I made some sliced mozzarella and tomato with fresh […]
Tuesday Tastes: Eataly
I finally made a little trip to Eataly. No, I'm not a bad speller, I'm talking about the Italian mega-marketplace in Flatiron. I will have to return one of these days to try some of the restaurants because I hear they are fab - but this was a shopping-only excursion. […]
Thirsty Thursdays!
Ok. Not exactly the most original idea, I know, but it's fitting and it's a little insight into my life. On Thursdays you can usually find me at a restaurant or bar tying one on. I'm not ashamed to say it – I like drinking; not to the point of blackout […]

The Skinny Pig is going through some changes; take the shnazzy new banners for example (thank you GFQ!), and in addition to that, there will be a new schedule so you'll know what to expect on The Skinny Pig from now on. As you can see, Tuesdays will be a compilation of reviews and/or smaller posts that […]
More From Chinatown: Fay Da Bakery
After my meal at Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles, I wanted something sweet, so I stopped into Fay Da Bakery for some treats. This place is fantastic and CHEAP. You should see the size of these pastries and some of them are 90 cents! CENTS. I don't think I've bought anything […]
Tasty Noodles At….Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles!
Today was a damp, cold, snowy, all around gross-New York kinda day. Bad day for walking around, but great day for a hot bowl of hand-pulled noodles from Chinatown. Where can one find such a dish? At Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles. Duh. They pretty much spell it out for you in the […]
Happy Friday!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! I'm heading out for a Restaurant Week dinner (yes it was extended as per the usual) at Tanuki Tavern and then probably drinks somewhere. Perhaps the Gansevoort? Ooo fancy. I will stand at the top and throw $100 bills off the rooftop. Which […]
