Saturday afternoon, I braved the heat (or sweltering smog, I should say) and headed down to Gansevoort Street for TASTES from the Meatpacking District through Chelsea. For $35, you get a ticket that's good for 6 "tastes" from restaurants such as Bill's Bar and Burger, Pastis, Spice Market, Stella's Pizza, […]

Cake & Shake Cart Brings Tasty Treats to Washington Square Park
I love chocolate more than I can say, and I always have, but this past year or so, I have garnered a general appreciation for all things sweet and indulgent. Case in point: I can eat an entire meal of rib-sticking food, drink a liter of wine, and STILL somehow manage to […]
Crepes and More at The Crooked Tree
My mom used to speak French. I took French for seven years in school. And I took cooking classes at the French Culinary Institute. You would THINK French fare would be running through my blood by now, but truth be told, I don't have it often, but if there's one […]
Trip to Spain Via Lizarran
Back room of Lizarran with stage I took a little trip to Spain recently, but I managed to not leave New York City. I took my friend Jessica to Lizarran for some pintxos and sangria, and everything, right down to the live Flamenco music and dancing, was excellent. Lizarran is […]

I don't have too many details beyond that at the moment. Now, speaking as a Met fan, I am totally used to getting […]
Dinner at Tamba
Having lived in New York my whole life, I am fully aware of the abundance of foreign cuisine available at every turn, and as a result, there are few types of food that I actually consider "foreign." Indian food is one genre that is somewhat foreign to me, and for no real reason either. […]
Toast To The Children Benefit With Tom Colicchio and One Cool Spot at Polar Lounge
Nothing makes you feel more like an uppity New Yorker than uttering the words, "oh, I can't tonight, I have a benefit to go to." That said, if the benefit in question is hosted by Tom Colicchio and offers tastings of some of New York's finest restaurants, I really don't […]

Dinner at Salumeria Rosi
I am passionate about food. Obviously. But for some reason, I always get extra excited about wine bars, salumerias, tapas bars…even the cocktail hour at a wedding. Why? What do they all have in common?? Cheese, meat, variety, and deliciousness. Fortunately for me, I had the pleasure of visiting Cesare Casella's Salumeria […]
