Ahhh Cinco de Mayo. It’s basically the same as St. Patty’s Day, aka no one really knows why it’s happening, but they know it’s an excuse to get shitfaced. And I guess that’s reason enough for us. I did a little research and found some specials you may want to check out, […]

Making Donuts at Tasting Table
One of the perks of my job is going to cool shit like this: DONUT MAKING CLASS AT TASTING TABLE!! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Tasting Table is a fantastic food and restaurant resource, and they taught us how to make doughnuts last night. National Doughnut Day is […]
Smorgasburg is Back!
Ahh Spring. It has arrived! I think. This is NYC and the weather is about as crazy as the people (present company included). For all I know it can start snowing tomorrow following a 60-degree day. But, in the meantime, let’s talk Smorgasburg. If you aren’t familiar, you should introduce […]
Taste of Citifield 2017 – Starting Lineup
So, I’m not sure if we’ve been over this recently, but I’m a Mets fan. Born and raised in Queens, I feel like that’s pretty standard issue. Also there is my undying love for David Wright but that’s neither here nor there… The Taste of Citifield happened on a cold, blustery […]
Queens Eats: Allora Italian Kitchen & Bar
For those of you who don’t know this already, I am a Queens native. Originally from Astoria (yes, I’m half Greek) and then moved to Bayside when I was 10. My mom still lives in Bayside and some of my friends do too, so I hope that at least ONE of […]
Peeling The Onion at SOBEWFF: Jamie Schweid, President of Schweid & Sons
After all these years of attending Burger Bash at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival (and by attending I mean eating my way to an early demise), I had the opportunity to sit down with Jamie Schweid, President of Schweid & Sons, who presented this event with Heineken Light (hosted […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! 10 Types of People and Where You Should Take Them in NYC
Other than eating, cooking, and snarky commentary, I have little to offer you on Valentine’s Day. Even when I was lucky enough to be codependent and blinded by love in a relationship, I wasn’t a huge fan of anything about this “special day” unless it had to do with eating. So…this is […]
Year in Review – Say Bye to 2016
I’m going to be totally honest with you. I’m not even sure how an entire year has gone by already. I remember last December, last Christmas (RIP George), and last NYE as if it were yesterday. It’s kind of nuts how fast a year can go by when you’re having […]
7 Delicious Spots You Need to Try: November Edition
Saying bye to November and all the Thanksgiving deliciousness (BEST HOLIDAY EVER), we are now facing Christmas, easily my second favorite holiday. Gifts, food, fam, friends, more food, more gifts, etc. Oh and let’s not forget A Christmas Story on loop on TNT (is that still a channel?) and the […]
Happy National Burger Day! Here’s a List of Delicious NYC Burgers
Welp, it’s that time again. Time for another food holiday that popped up like a bad zit. I know it sounds like I’m complaining, but for the most part, I appreciate these days of epicurean celebration. Epicurean might be a stretch. These food holidays range from the generic to the grandiose (and […]
