I stopped in to the opening of Forty Four at The Royalton (brought to you by Morgans Hotel Group) for some drinks and small bites with The Cocktail Collective, a group of specially selected expert bartenders from around the country. The space was really nice (see pics above), but it was very […]

My Take on Four Loko
Ok, I know this is not the time to be saying this, but I kind of love Four Loko. Keep in mind I never drank 4 0r 5 of them in a row, but I think I topped out at 2 (don't reallyyy remember..) and I'm not going to lie, it was […]
Golosi’s Got Good Gelato – Pizza Needs Work
I stopped by Golosi pizzeria with my brother the other day for some pizza and such, and I have to say, I wasn't thrilled with the pizza, but I enjoyed the such. Or maybe just some such. This bright pizzeria sits on the Upper East Side on 2nd ave, drawing […]
A Tale of Two Brunches: Jimmy’s and Juliette
I am fortunate to live in a place like Williamsburg, where people LOVE brunch. There are so many great spots, and I visited two of them in the past two weeks. The first one was last weekend during the marathon. Ange and I woke up (somewhat hungover), to the sounds […]
BYOB Time! Kuma Inn With Austrian Wine
This is actually something I don’t do very often, but I’m thinking I should. I had dinner at a BYOB last week, and it was really fun. It’s nice to do something different every now and then.. Rudy was my dining/drinking partner for this particular restaurant, and that’s mainly […]
Tea and Champagne at The Tea Set
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 […]
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 […]
