Whether or not you like football is basically irrelevant when it comes to the Superbowl. I think it's yet another excuse for people to get together, eat and drink. Oh and yell things at the TV. This year I decided to host a little Superbowl Party, and I'm compiling my […]

Brunch at Spitzer’s Corner
Now I like cooking for myself as much as the next guy, but sometimes, you just can't beat a good mid-day brunch. I had the random pleasure of having late brunch at Spitzers Corner on Saturday, and I really enjoyed it. Not a huge menu and no drink deals […]
I Cooked: Breakfast Egg Sandwich
This is something I make pretty often; especially on the weekends when I'm hungover or on a time crunch because it's pretty damn easy to put together and fills me up. I make it with egg whites, American cheese (sometimes feta if I'm feeling fancy, but I'll admit I like […]
Addicted: Baked by Melissa’s Cupcakes
I love cupcakes. This is a somewhat recent addiction, as I was never a sweets-lover, in fact I tend to gravitate more towards salt, but lately something about those fluffy cakes and their creamy frosting has me salivating. Take for example, Baked by Melissa's teeny tiny cupcakes. These things […]
Dinner at Bell Book & Candle
In the midst of holiday madness and blizzard advisories, I completely forgot to post about this. My apologies. A lot of times I go to restaurants and one or two things will really impress me; I always say that I have a hard time finding a restaurant that is solid […]

With the holidays behind us and the overall merriment coming to an end, everyone is left kind of exhuasted, bloated and irritable. January and February are pretty depressing times in New York City; the weather is piss, there are no really good holidays to celebrate, and January seems to be […]
Happy New Year!
A few days late perhaps, but I've been a busy lady. I figured it wasn't that big of a deal considering most people were nursing massive hangovers since Saturday. So there might be some changes coming to The Skinny Pig soon…I can't say what exactly, but it should be an […]

Thanks to the folks at OpenTable.com, here is a list of restaurants in NYC that still have availability for NYE dinner reservations. Surprisingly, there are lots of good options still up for grabs – Cookshop, Corsino, db Bistro Moderne, Fatty Crab, Haru Sushi, and even Michael Psilakis' recently opened Fish […]
My Christmas in Queens
For those of you who don't know, I'm a Queens girl. I lived in Manhattan for almost three years, and I may live in Brooklyn now, but I always, always spend my Christmas in Queens. My mom and brother live there, and it's where my old friends and I get […]
