Le Singe Vert Now Serving Breakfast
During my college days, I frequently visited Le Singe Vert (The Green Monkey), a small French bistro in Chelsea. I love their fresh sandwiches, yet always wondered why they didn’t have any breakfast items, considering they already make a 3-egg omelette for lunch. Fortunately they have started serving breakfast, featuring […]
Hundred Acres
While it may sound like an antique shop somewhere up in the catskills, this surprising gem is actually a restaurant nestled in the West Village in New York City. When I first heard the name hundred Acres, I pictured trees, lakes, and a little cottage with a wood-burning fireplace. Now […]
Lisa Fernandes: All for Show or All for Dough?
Unfortunately, I started this blog after the last season of Top Chef, so no one got to read my rants about the contestants. I know you’re crushed. Anyway, I came across an article on TimeOutNY.com’s Eat Out […]
Hilarity Watch: Passive-Aggressive Appetizers
I’m glad I’m not the only one who believes food doesn’t always have to be taken so seriously. I was literally laughing out loud while reading Yoni Brenner’s list of "Fourteen Passive-Aggressive Appetizers," and I work in one of the quietest offices in Manhattan. They probably think I’m crazy.

Mets Food at Shea Now Health Conscious
No matter where we go, no matter what we do, we can’t escape the calorie counters. Nowhere is safe, not even Shea Stadium, the home of my beloved New York Mets and my favorite spot for sausage and peppers. Last night I attended the game against the Rockies, and thankfully […]
Mayor Bloomberg Says Let’s Dance!
Now I realize this isn’t really food-related, but it’s good-times-related and that deserves some attention on my blog. The Cabaret License that has been in effect since 1926, may finally be getting repealed in NYC by Mayor Bloomberg. The 82-year-old law prohibits three or more people from dancing in a […]
Restaurant Week Chronicles – Reservations
In true Skinny Pig fashion – I just booked myself five reservations for the upcoming 2 weeks of Restaurant Week. For all I know, I may even make more, but as of right now I booked Mia Dona, Centro Vinoteca, Artisanal Fromagerie & Bistro, Megu Midtown, and Amma all for […]
