What could be bad about that combination? Well maybe some things, especially at Empellon. The tequila selection was impressive and the tacos were pretty solid, but I've had better fish tacos for sure. In this case, the tongue tacos were where it's at. If you are afraid to try […]

Hop, Skip and a Brunch at Rayuela
Normally I don't visit a restaurant for brunch before trying it out for dinner, but I have been on a Latin brunch-kick lately, and Rayuela's menu caught my eye, allowing me to skip dinner and go straight to brunch. Rayuela means "hopscotch" in Spanish, which I believe references Chef […]

I Broke My Chef’s Knife! :(
I had to take a moment to write about this because I am stunned. One of the first things I did when I moved to Manhattan a few years ago was buy a GOOD set of knives. I do my fair share of cooking and I had always wanted one of those proud-looking […]
A Celebration of Sandwiches!
This may be the half-Jew in me talking, but in my opinion, there is almost nothing better than a traditional pastrami sandwich on rye. Really. If the meat is good, and the bread is good, then it's ALL good, homie. Oh about that…I also grew up in Bay Terrace where […]
Out of Commission
I apologize for the slacking, but I have been sick with the stomach virus since Friday night and I am still not 100%. The thought of eating anything other than chicken soup and crackers turns my stomach at this point. That said, stay tuned for my review of Empellon…the last […]
Thirsty Thursday is Cinco de Mayo in NYC
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration in honor of the Battle of Puebla, when Mexican soldiers defeated Napoleons army. What did you just read? Blah blah blah bottle of patron? Can't say I didn't try to educate… Where can you get Cinco de Mayo specials in this city?! That's what […]
It’s Coming…
I'm not a morning person. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that most of my senses don't even work in the morning. Peripheral vision is lacking (read: tunnel vision) and basic motor skills are impaired until I get some coffee. Today was different though..as I saw something […]

Well my timing couldn't be better…remember Foodparc? If you don't, scroll down a few, you'll get there. Apparently the outdoor space in Foodparc is being converted to Beerparc. Yay! The 12,000 sq foot space will house plenty of food and drink to keep the Midtown happy hour crowd well, happy. Apparently you pay […]
