Perhaps one of New York's best brunch spots, Egg, is located on North 5th street in my lovely neighborhood of Williamsburg, though I rarely come here because the wait is usually outrageous. But my mom happens to really enjoy it, so I put our names down last Saturday and within […]

$35 Brunch Deal at Yotel is Pretty Solid Despite Some Slow Service
Have you ever wondered what it's like to have brunch inside a computer? Or a European airport?? That's kind of how I felt Sunday when I went to a brunch tasting at FOUR at Yotel, a new restaurant/hotel in Times Square. Aside from the fact that every time I said […]
Some Bites from No. 7 Sub!
I go to Greece for one week and when I come back No. 7 Sub has three new sandwiches. The NERVE. It started when my cubemate friend Gil showed up the other day with a sandwich for lunch. He got the "Filet-o-Fish" which is adapted from the ever-popular (though never […]
Bites From Taim Mobile Falafel Truck
Being of half-Jewish descent by way of Romania, I don't know much about many of the Jewish holidays (sorry Safta), but I know a thing or two about falafel. And hummus. I had both recently from the Taim Mobile Falafel Truck, and I was very happy; even the fries with […]
Some Bites From Greece!
I think my stomach is still readjusting to food in the US, so I haven't been eating out as much as I'd like these past few days. As I sit here feasting on water and crackers, I will torture myself (and yourself) by posting some pics of the many greek […]
Some Bites From Restaurant Week – Hurricane Club
Out of all of my RW excursions the past 2 weeks, I was most satisfied with The Hurricane Club; the portions were epic, and even though there was a supplement cost to some dishes (normally not something I enjoy), the food was worth it. I have always been an advocate […]
Bites From Artichoke Basille
I like to pick things for Relatively Wordless Wednesdays that really need very little to NO words. I give you…Artichoke Basille pizza in the Meatpacking District.. Artichoke slice and Margherita slice. Artichoke Pie. Imagine delicious artichoke dip on bread. That's what this is. I'll admit, it gets a little redundant […]
The Meatball Shop Opens in Williamsburg!
It has arrived. The day when The Meatball Shop opens and I transform from The Skinny Pig into The Fat Pig. As most of you loyal readers know (Mom), I have been following the progress of The Meatball Shop on Bedford Ave pretty closely, so what kind of dedicated […]
My Weekend in Food – Belgian Beer Festival
Friday night was miserable – I got caught in the rain minus an umbrella, got stuck in traffic (F U Times Square!) and I almost face-planted on the sidewalk thanks to slippery gladiator sandals. I needed a pick me up. Fast. "Wait" I thought to myself, "isn't tonight the Belgian Beer […]
Coolhaus
Beer & Pretzels ice cream with Snickerdoodle cookie You know the drill. Coolhaus is in the middle of Relatively Wordless Wednesdays this week, and I'm happy to say that these ice cream sandwiches really don't need a lot of words. I had the Beer & Pretzels ice cream on a Snickerdoodle […]
