Dine In Brooklyn!
Ahh something I will be doing a lot more of in the near future. Mainly because I'm moving there. Holler! Not a joke – it's true. As much as I love Manhattan and it's urine-splattered streets, I will be relocating to uber-trendy Williamsburg soon. So it's only fitting that I promote their […]
Dinner at Bistro Vendome
In the glorious land of Midtown East, the abundance of French restaurants makes it hard for a new one to stand out. Unless, of course, you happen to make delicious Mussels Provencale and a steak that melts in your mouth… Bistro Vendome, opened just last week on 58th st between […]

The Situation and The Apology at Summit Bar
No, that's not a new character on the Jersey Shore. Though I can see where the confusion lies… Just before we all got snowed in last week, I visited Summit Bar on the LES where the lighting is dim and the drinks are unique. How unique? Well, they had a […]
Gelato Heaven at MaximoPino Cafe
I'm uber-cranky today because Mother Nature decided to screw all of us once again, so I am going to reminisce about all the yummy gelato I had last night at MaximoPino Cafe.. Gelato Anyone? This place had one of the nicest (and largest) displays of gelato and sorbetti I have ever […]
