I have many fond memories of the West Village. There was that time I got tossed from a bar on Halloween, the time I saw a stray cat sit on a bum's head, and now I can add to that list, "the time I fell down the rabbit hole." You might think I'm alluding to using LSD […]

Taste of Tartinery in Nolita
After my fabulous meal at Tartinery, it really did make me wonder, how do French girls stay so skinny?? The tartine, a traditional French open-faced sandwich, is taken to new heights here at the Nolita spot. All the breads are from Poilane, a renowned Parisian bakery, and the tartine components are nothing […]
Gelato on Sticks? Find It At Popbar
Popbar gelato and such… In an effort to keep cool during these muggy New York City summer days, I headed over to Popbar with Monique. Located in the heart of the West Village, Popbar sits on Carmine street off 6th ave next to Joe's pizza. Pizza and Popbar? Sign me up. […]
Beware, Waistline. Here Comes The Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt!
And I thought the KFC Double Down was ridiculous. In an attempt to rid the world of health and vitality, Friendly's comes at us with The Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt; a burger sandwiched in between two grilled cheese sandwiches. That's right. TWO.

Photo courtesy of Grub Street You know what Manhattan needs? Another rooftop bar. Opening this Friday, June 18th, is The Sky Room – a rather swanky sounding spot atop the 33rd and 34th floors of….The Marriot Fairfield Inn and Suites. Yea. I'm not too sure how I feel about that, but as […]
Did you know…
that today is National Strawberry Shortcake Day? Me neither. That's all I got for that one. And coming soon to 30 Rock……Jamba Juice. As I walked through the concourse this morning, I noticed something was different; I didn't feel that pang of hunger that I get every morning when I walk […]
Williamsburg Welcomes Osteria Il Paiolo
Few restaurants can achieve excellence through so much contradiction, but Osteria Il Paiolo just might be one of those establishments. The rustic-yet-modern interior, with exposed brick and air ducts running across the ceiling, is set to a soundtrack of classic rock; the wood-burning oven (turning out fresh-baked breads) and meat slicer suggest traditional Italian […]
