Still pissed that you missed out on the New York City Wine & Food Festival last year? And even MORE pissed that you couldn't get your lazy ass off the couch long enough to buy tickets this year? Well, if you act now, you can still get some tickets to […]

Tanuki Tavern Opens Tonight in Gansevoort
The Meatpacking District gets some fish with Tanuki Tavern, a Japanese sushi/tapas spot opening tonight in the Gansevoort Hotel. I didn't even know the Japanese had tapas, but apparently they do, and it is known in Japan as "Izakaya." Izakaya roughly translates to: "a Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks." What […]

Hill Country is Opening Fried Chicken Joint
Thank GOD. I think one of the few things NYC is really lacking in terms of comfort food is a true fried chicken restaurant. There's only so much KFC and Popeye's a person can eat before fatal indigestion sets in. Hill Country will be opening a rather large fried chicken joint […]
Barros Luco is Open – Time for Tasting!
After months of walking back and forth in front of this place like some stalker ex-girlfriend, the doors have finally opened for Barros Luco, the Chilean sandwich shop in midtown. It was 5:20 pm, and I was having a bad case of the Mondays. The one thing I was looking forward to was […]

International Pickle Day is Back This Sunday!
Last weekend was the Vendy's, next weekend is the NYC Food & Wine Festival, and this weekend has two things going on: The New York Culinary Experience (sold out) and International Pickle Day. My calendar is busier than the Village on Halloween. Ok maybe not THAT busy. The LES BID […]
Stuffed Artisan Cannolis Opens Tomorrow!

To mark their 45th Birthday, Rays pizza (formally known as Famous Original Rays) is giving their loyal customers a nice treat – pizza for 45ยข! Only eight of them are participating, and there are a lot of "Rays" pizza joints in the city, so you have to make sure you're […]
Starbucks Via Taste Test!
Will it be the "blech" heard round the world? To some, probably. Starbucks is an acquired taste in my opinion - even I used to despise it, and now I find myself craving it in the wee hours of the morning. It's a very strong coffee, and it takes some getting […]
