This just in from the Danny Meyer empire: Union Square Hospitality Group announced that it will be opening a "pop-up" cafe in the Whitney Museum called Sandwiched. What's a pop up cafe and what business does it have making sandwiches?? I have no clue, but that only intrigues me more… […]

Gelato Heaven at MaximoPino Cafe
I'm uber-cranky today because Mother Nature decided to screw all of us once again, so I am going to reminisce about all the yummy gelato I had last night at MaximoPino Cafe.. Gelato Anyone? This place had one of the nicest (and largest) displays of gelato and sorbetti I have ever […]
CookieBar Opens (If Only For a Moment) Today
Here's the good news: there are nearly a dozen varieties of cookies for your munching pleasure. Here's the bad news: it's only going to be there for six days. WHAT?! How can they do this to me?? Dorie Greenspan (award-winning cookbook author of Baking with Julia, and Baking: From My Home […]
Brunch at Bao Noodles
Lately, I have come to really appreciate a good brunch; there's just something about it that's so comforting, relaxing, and indulgent (champagne at noon, anyone?). However, brunch doesn't always have to be comprised of eggs benedict or smoked salmon and bagels. Bao Noodles in Gramercy does a great Vietnamese brunch […]
Valentine’s Day 2010: Prix Fixe Dinner Beats Roses Any Day
Valentine's Day is really more of a marketing scheme than a holiday at this point; where people either end up depressed from being alone or bloated from all the chocolate they've consumed. Or a little of both. No good can come of this day. BUT if you're a believer in […]
Loving Italian at Da Franco

Itssssss bacon! What's a great way to warm up on a cold, blustery New York day? Take some shots of bourbon with a side of bacon! That's what I did on Saturday at the first annual Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival at La Venue. Granted, I know not much about […]
Cherry Valley’s Sandwich of the Week Sounds…Healthy?!
If I haven't mentioned this before, feel free to send me a virtual ass kicking. Cherry Valley, otherwise known as the mecca of deliciousness in Whitestone, Queens, announced their Sandwich of the Week. The Sunset: grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, guacamole, tomatoes, salt & pepper on a wrap. I guess Cherry […]
Buttery Brunch at L’Ecole
You've got to give it to the French; they know what's imperative for a good meal. I don't think I've had a more indulgent brunch in my life, but believe me – the butter, the cream, and the flaky pastries were worth every highly caloric bite. I dined with my […]
Preview of Ducks at SPiN
As a somewhat jaded New Yorker, rarely do I find myself in an establishment that begs me to ask the question: where the hell am I?? SPiN, however, has bested me. Located on 23rd street and Park Avenue South is SPiN, a rather unconventional business venture backed by Susan Sarandon. The name […]
