More openings today. Despite the disgusting weather, looks to be a pretty good day in the foodie world. Taproom No. 307 – I got all excited and thought this was a bar with tap-dancing, but no such luck. It will be exciting for beer drinkers though – 42 of them […]

Monday Smorgasbord
The first week of Spring looks like fun – lots of interesting openings and oh heyyy it's Brooklyn restaurant Week. 🙂 Open Untitled - Yes, that's what it's called. And it's just a soft opening today. Danny Meyer (one of my faves) has expanded his Union Square Hospitality Group empire to […]
Friday Free For All: Grimaldi’s
First off I'd like to point out that I'm NOT hungover. Shocking, isn't it? I went to Stone Street for some Irish-imbibing last night and besides the fact that it was wall-to-wall people, the only thing I could get to drink was beer, bourbon or whiskey. No vodka! So I […]
Reminder: Get Your Tickets to The Craft Beer & Food Festival!
Time is running out people. This Saturday and Sunday is the Get Real NY Craft Beer & Food Festival and I believe the Saturday sessions are almost sold out. There are still some tickets left available for Sunday sessions, and if you use the "skinnypig" discount code, you will receive […]
Green Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies for St. Patrick’s Day
I know what you're thinking and I'm going to level with you: these cookies look like shit. LOOK. Not TASTE. In fact, they're friggin amazing. But unfortunately they bear an uncanny resemblance to little piles of manure. Now that I put THAT thought in your head, let's talk shop for […]

Ah yes, St. Patrick's Day is finally upon us! The only day I can be convinced to do shots of Jameson and Irish car bombs. Like any other religious holiday, I have a feeling the origin and true meaning behind it will make us all feel bad about ourselves and […]
The LG Bomb! Aka Ice Cream Balls Stuffed with Jam
JAMMMMM.. This is not a new cell phone I'm touting; it's a dessert I made and named after my friend, whom we refer to as "LG". We work together and have been sharing a wall for the past 6 months, so she has learned more about me than she probably […]
What’s In The Middle? 16 Handles
I'm not sure if this really counts as "something good in the middle" but if you mix it in the way I do, it absolutely can be. So shut it. I visited 16 Handles a couple times recently for a fro-yo fix, and I may be in love. Here's the […]
Tuesday Tastes: Jimmy’s Diner
I have posted about this awesome brunch spot in Williamsburg before, but I revisited it this past weekend with my mom and had to post some of the pics. Nothing cures a hangover better than something fried and cheesy from Jimmy's. Last time I had the fried chicken and waffles […]
Tuesday Tastes: Cascabel Taqueria
After a rigorous spin class at SoulCycle, it's only natural to crave protein and carbs. Some people would get this combination from a nice slab of grilled chicken and a piece of whole wheat flax bread. I, however, get it in the form of fish and chicken tacos with a […]
