What makes one wine bar different from another wine bar? Not much usually. What makes Bahr Che different? Besides it being near-impossible to find? Well.. When I Googled the address (26 Astor Place), I thought it would be simple enough, but that's where I was sorely mistaken. Ange and I […]

I Heart Ramen at Ippudo
If I could pick one dish to eat every day for the rest of my life, it would be the ramen noodles at Ippudo. I might mourn the loss of the Black Label burger at Minetta Tavern and the spaghetti from Scarpetta at first, but these noodles have a little […]
More Exciting News For The Burg!
Brooklyn Flea is coming! First I hear of Momofuku, then Meatball Shop (I hope – fingers crossed so hard I'm losing circulation), and now this? Things just keep getting better and better for residents (and visitors) of Williamsburg. It won't be happening until spring/summer of 2011, but the Flea is […]
Awesome Arepas at Caracas
I have managed to catch a cold or a touch of the flu again, but before that happened, I had a fantastic, non-traditional brunch at Caracas on Saturday. Caracas Arepa Bar has two locations, one in the East Village, and one in my native Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I decided to hit […]
Dinner at Scarpina Bar & Grill
What do you do when you get bored of the same old thing and feel like throwing something new into the mix? If you're Nino Selimaj (of all the Nino's restaurants in the city), then you hire chef Ricardo Cardona (of Sofrito, Sazon and Gabbana) to help create a "mediterranean-latin-infusion" […]
I Baked: Nanaimo Bars
Mmmm… Don't worry, I don't know how to pronounce it either, but I have to give credit where credit is due for this one. A big thanks to Mr. Hal Oral for finding this recipe, asking me to make it, while all he has to do is show up and […]
Vosges Haut Chocolat
Something that makes ME happy in the winter (or any season) is chocolate. Recently, I had a somewhat magical experience with this new brand of chocolate called Vosges. Ever heard of it? Me neither, but we received a gift basket the other day at work FILLED with their special chocolates. […]
It’s Too Cold
to blog today. I'm sorry. I can't feel my fingers. Just kidding. Although it really is too cold out. This is not ok. I love New York, but I DESPISE winter. Every year when it gets blistery and miserable I tell myself I'm moving to California. Then I remember that […]
Eolo Brings (More) Creativity to Chelsea
When was the last time you said the phrase, "I'm in the mood for Sicilian"? I don't think I've ever said it, but maybe I should start. I got a little taste of newcomer Eolo the other day, and Chef Melissa Muller-Daka is determined to make Eolo stand out from […]
Happy Hannukah! It’s Latkes Time!
I'm reposting this from last year. Not because I'm lazy (even though I'm kind of lazy), but because it's a necessary tradition on Hannukah to make yummy potato latkes and not much has really changed since then. Last year I forgot it was Hannukah, and this year I did too; […]
