Tea and crumpets? No. That's not how I roll. What can be more relaxing than a night that starts off with some bubbly, fills you up with some comforting food (note: not comfort food, but comforting food), then finishes up with some soothing chai tea? Ahhhh…who knew imbibe and zen […]

Top Chef Just Desserts Screening Hosted by Godiva
Last night I had the honor of mingling with the likes of Johnny Iuzzini, Claire Robinson, and Gail Simmons. Loved Claire Robinson by the way – what a down to earth, friendly chick. Definitely wouldn’t have pictured her with Johnny Iuzzini, but hey, I guess that hair of his has […]
The Meatball Shop To Open in Williamsburg??
Yessss. I've had a pretty crappy day today and reading this cheered me up, if only for a savory moment. According to Grub Street, my most recent addiction aka The Meatball Shop has plans to open in Williamsburg next year on Bedford Ave. Must be fate. Owners Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow […]
Cast Iron Pizzas and More at Tiella
Never again will I doubt the heavy accents at Tiella. Black cuttlefish ink linguine? Risotto with lobster and grapefruit? In my head I'm thinking, "am I hearing this correctly?" Then I pick up the menu, and yes, there is grapefruit in the risotto. I'm surprised because this seems like just another […]
Pizza and Eggs for Brunch at Pulinos
I really dont do Sunday brunch enough. It's very, very sad because I LOVE brunch. Cocktails while feasting on eggs and bacon and pastries? Don't mind if I do. Sunday I had a fantastic brunch at Pulinos to catch up with some of my lovely ladies from college, Nicole and Ange. Sitting […]
Lunch at Gramercy Tavern
This was an interesting experience for me – I visited a Danny Meyer establishment and wasn't completely blown away. GASP. For those of you who know me and my culinary preferences, I have a minor obsession with Danny Meyer's restaurants (Shake Shack, Maialino, Union Square Cafe), so this was a little […]
Grill ‘Em All Truck’s NYC Victory Lap: The Molly Hatchet
Burgers and Beer. Good stuff. As promised, I made a little pitstop during my travels last night to Thunder Jacksons to try out one of the Grill 'Em All truck's famous burgers. Were there obstacles in my way? Yes. Was it worth the struggle? Totally. Obstacle #1: Idiots. The waitstaff/bartenders were not […]

I almost don't want to post this information because there will be a limited number of burgers available at each location….and I kind of want to eat most of them. But FINE. You win. See below… The Grill 'Em All truck, straight off of their Food Network "Great Food Truck […]
NYC Foodie and The Skinny Pig Dine at Liebe
Two foodies out on the town makes for one very filling evening. The NYC Foodie and I made a little visit to Liebe, the new Indian spot in Nolita. You could easily call it a "hole in the wall" because it's a very small space, not really meant for dining […]
Lunch at Sushi of Gari
Can you believe that once upon a time (actually, not even THAT long ago) I didn't eat sushi?? Hated the stuff. Raw fish? No thanks. That's how I thought of it. BUT..I met my friend Ange at FIT (my alma mater) and she said she had the same issue until […]
