It's true!! I heard rumors about this, but my wavering faith in humanity and all that is good and pure didn't allow me to believe it. According to the NY Times, the Soup Nazi is coming back! Hopefully with a vengeance. The last time i was there was about 6 or […]

Dos Caminos Brings New Burgers To It’s Menu
While it is very, very difficult for me to pinpoint a favorite cuisine (and I get asked that A LOT), Mexican is at the top of my list somewhere, along with burgers. That is why I am super excited about this news. Apparently Dos Caminos' executive chef Ivy Star is introducing a […]
The Sky Room Times Square Opens This Friday
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.

Sushi-Pairing Perfection at Chado
Murray Hill is usually not the place I would go to for good sushi, or anything culturally expansive for that matter. The good restaurants, however few there may be, get lost in a sea of Brooks Brothers suits and Tasti D-Lites. I hope that Chado doesn't get lost in the […]
Loreley Williamsburg Opening Tonight
Now that I live in Williamsburg, I feel it is my duty to be on top of this stuff. Loreley Restaurant & Biergarten will be opening tonight on 64 Frost st at Meeker Ave, and in true Williamsburg fashion, it is housed in what used to be an old gas […]
Round Up: TASTES From the Meatpacking District
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, […]

TASTES from the Meatpacking District through Chelsea. This Saturday, June 5th, the NYC Lab School for Collaborative Studies and Manhattan's finest downtown eateries […]
