Oh Relatively Wordless Wednesdays, what have I got for you today? Just a massive, tasty sandwich from the Big D's Grub truck. Black and yellow.. As I was getting off the subway last night, I spotted this bright yellow truck on Bedford and North 7th. No, not Van Leeuwen (they're […]

Some Bites From Blondie’s
As you know, I have a small weakness for wings. Last Friday I went to see Florence and The Machine at Central Park's Summer Stage (awesome btw), and we were all ravenous by the time we left. What happens when you put a bunch of cranky, hungry food-lovers together? Overeating […]
Pierre Loti Wine Bar
When the going gets tough, the tough gets…wine. Or maybe that's just how I do things. In the midst of a rather hectic week, I found some time to stop by my old stomping ground (Midtown East) and try out Pierre Loti, the newest location of this French-inspired wine bar. […]
Newton’s Fruit Thins Meet Lemon-Honey Cheesecakes
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program, I received these Fig & Honey Newton's Fruit Thins cookies to sample. The cookies are actually quite delicious with their crisp texture and flecks of fig and cinnamon; they're begging to be dunked in coffee or tea. And at 140 calories for three cookies, they're fairly guilt-free […]
My Weekend in Food
Upon further reflection, this post should probably be renamed my weekend ENGULFED in food. I attended the Midtown Lunch 5th Birthday Party on Saturday, then the Big Apple Barbecue Festival on Sunday. Vegetarians be forewarned, I probably ate two pigs and a small cow this weekend. Who am I kidding…vegetarians […]
Press 195 and Martha’s Country Bakery in Queens
Sometimes you have to show love for your roots. When I'm in Queens (my hometown), I always get the same food from the same places. This is not the norm for me, but when you don't have these things on the regular anymore, I think it's allowed. Take for example, Press 195 […]
What’s In The Middle of Relatively Wordless Wednesdays? Sigmund’s Pretzel Cart
Last weekend I decided to spend a day being a cultured New Yorker: I visited the 2nd avenue street fair on the UES, then walked up to the Met to take in the Alexander McQueen exhibit, Savage Beauty. I went to FIT, so you would think it would move […]
Pinkberry’s New Salted Caramel Flavor
When I close my eyes and go to my happy place, I imagine that I am sunbathing on an exotic island somewhere with Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper-type pool boys feeding me this. Ok that's a slight exaggeration…there's only one pool boy. When my friend Megan told me about this new […]
David Burke Kitchen’s Monkey Bread
Known for his whimsy and creativity, David Burke never ceases to impress me. Last week at David Burke Kitchen, I had the joy of partaking in this delicious, over the top, ridiculously gooey dessert. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Monkey Bread for Two. The pics don't do it justice but […]
Midtown Lunch Fifth Birthday Party!
Since I'm not cool enough to throw anniversary parties for my blog, I will promote someone else who is. Midtown Lunch, the popular blog that covers all Midtown food is throwing a party to commemorate their 5th anniversary. For those of you who don't know about Midtown Lunch, I think […]
