Well well. Happy Birthday to ME. I don't know who told the fine folks at Baked By Melissa, but April just happens to be my birthday month, and they are helping me celebrate with their Birthday Cupcake, which just so happens to be the Mini of the Month. I feel […]

Happy Friday!
In keeping with the Friday tradition, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. There's good news and there's bad news. Good news: Apparently there is a restaurant coming to Midtown shortly that will be dedicated solely to…you guessed it…BACON. Mmm bacon. The concept was derived from "everything being better […]
Dallis Bros Coffee Tasting at Alma 33
What's more important to a busy New Yorker than a good cup of coffee? That was my thought process when I got invited to this coffee-centric dinner and drinks event last week, hosted by Alma 33 and Dallis Bros Coffee. The event was to promote the coffee from Octavio Cafe, […]

Vegan Cookie from City Bakery
I'm kind of tired today, so this is not going to be an exceedingly verbose post. Plus I think the pictures are worth 1,000 words. When I came back to the office with this as my snack, LG laughed and said "that is NOT a real cookie!! that's a […]
Brunch at Lido
Harlem is not an area I frequent too often (it's just a tad out of the way from Williamsburg), but I'm glad I made the trip this past weekend for brunch at Lido. This fairly new Italian spot on Frederick Douglass Boulevard just got their liquor license and started serving brunch […]
Get Real NY Craft Beer & Food Festival Round Up
As most of you know, I attended the Get Real NY Craft Beer & Food Festival on Sunday. There were plenty of beers and cask ales on hand, and of course plenty of food to please my overwhelming appetite. Keep in mind I know next to nothing about beers, […]
