Now I like cooking for myself as much as the next guy, but sometimes, you just can't beat a good mid-day brunch. I had the random pleasure of having late brunch at Spitzers Corner on Saturday, and I really enjoyed it. Not a huge menu and no drink deals […]

Addicted: Baked by Melissa’s Cupcakes
I love cupcakes. This is a somewhat recent addiction, as I was never a sweets-lover, in fact I tend to gravitate more towards salt, but lately something about those fluffy cakes and their creamy frosting has me salivating. Take for example, Baked by Melissa's teeny tiny cupcakes. These things […]
Dinner at Bell Book & Candle
In the midst of holiday madness and blizzard advisories, I completely forgot to post about this. My apologies. A lot of times I go to restaurants and one or two things will really impress me; I always say that I have a hard time finding a restaurant that is solid […]
NYC Winter Restaurant Week 2011
During my rant last night (see below post), it completely escaped me that there is ONE thing to look forward to during January and February in New York: Restaurant Week! I really shouldn't have to explain RW at this point, but basically it's an opportunity to try many of New […]
Happy New Year!
A few days late perhaps, but I've been a busy lady. I figured it wasn't that big of a deal considering most people were nursing massive hangovers since Saturday. So there might be some changes coming to The Skinny Pig soon…I can't say what exactly, but it should be an […]

Bahr Che
What makes one wine bar different from another wine bar? Not much usually. What makes Bahr Che different? Besides it being near-impossible to find? Well.. When I Googled the address (26 Astor Place), I thought it would be simple enough, but that's where I was sorely mistaken. Ange and I […]
I Heart Ramen at Ippudo
If I could pick one dish to eat every day for the rest of my life, it would be the ramen noodles at Ippudo. I might mourn the loss of the Black Label burger at Minetta Tavern and the spaghetti from Scarpetta at first, but these noodles have a little […]
Awesome Arepas at Caracas
I have managed to catch a cold or a touch of the flu again, but before that happened, I had a fantastic, non-traditional brunch at Caracas on Saturday. Caracas Arepa Bar has two locations, one in the East Village, and one in my native Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I decided to hit […]
Dinner at Scarpina Bar & Grill
What do you do when you get bored of the same old thing and feel like throwing something new into the mix? If you're Nino Selimaj (of all the Nino's restaurants in the city), then you hire chef Ricardo Cardona (of Sofrito, Sazon and Gabbana) to help create a "mediterranean-latin-infusion" […]
