I'm excited for this one. Not only because it sounds AWESOME, but because it's literally a block away from my apt. I can roll out of bed and into a bar specially tailored for boozing, grub and video games. Williamsburg welcomes: The Whiskey Brooklyn. Brought to you by the guys who […]

Dinner at El Porron
Sometimes when I'm dining out in New York, I compare the experience to a date: promising, awful or excellent distraction. El Porron was kind of the latter. While it wasn't bad by any means, it wasn't outstanding either. It served its purpose and the wine selection was good, but the […]
Bun & Co. Replacing Kampuchea – Opening This Week

Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group just announced yesterday that they are planning on opening another Shake Shack, a Blue Smoke and a new, yet-to-be-named fine dining restaurant in Battery Park City in 2011.

Limelight Grill (Soft) Opening This Weekend
Sorry for the delay folks…there was a minor crisis in the Skinny Pig household…but all seems to be ok now..hence my triumphant return to the blogosphere.
