Having lived in New York my whole life, I am fully aware of the abundance of foreign cuisine available at every turn, and as a result, there are few types of food that I actually consider "foreign." Indian food is one genre that is somewhat foreign to me, and for no real reason either. […]

Toast To The Children Benefit With Tom Colicchio and One Cool Spot at Polar Lounge
Nothing makes you feel more like an uppity New Yorker than uttering the words, "oh, I can't tonight, I have a benefit to go to." That said, if the benefit in question is hosted by Tom Colicchio and offers tastings of some of New York's finest restaurants, I really don't […]
Dinner at Salumeria Rosi
I am passionate about food. Obviously. But for some reason, I always get extra excited about wine bars, salumerias, tapas bars…even the cocktail hour at a wedding. Why? What do they all have in common?? Cheese, meat, variety, and deliciousness. Fortunately for me, I had the pleasure of visiting Cesare Casella's Salumeria […]
Dinner at Faustina
This was the first time that I walked into a restaurant thinking I knew exactly what I was in for, and turned out to be completely wrong. Faustina, Scott Conant's newest venture in the Cooper Square hotel, is a bit of a contradiction in my opinion, and I'm not sure […]
El Paso Taqueria
So I’m a bit overdue on this one. I had brunch with Lindsay the Lunch Belle two Sundays ago and I didn’t get a chance to post about it. My sincere apologies. I love Mexican food, but Lindsay is something of a Mexican-food connoisseur, so I trusted her judgement when […]

For those of you who aren't up for cooking AND don't want to spend a lot of dough this Passover, why not check out Henry's on the UWS? On Tuesday, March 30th, for just $39 pp, you get a 3-course traditional Passover seder in a lovely modern American bistro setting. […]
Minetta Tavern
I love a good brunch, but more importantly, I love a good burger. Where do you go to satisfy both needs? Only one place in my book: Minetta Tavern. Me and my friend Lindsay aka The Lunch Belle have been dying to test out Minetta’s famed Black Label Burger for […]
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 […]
Bice
This past weekend, I took a little time machine and landed in a romantic comedy from the 80’s, having dinner no less. Bice in midtown has that classic, fancy-New-York-restaurant vibe somehow (maybe because it’s been around since 1926??), and if the service wasn’t so damn friendly, I would have been […]
