With Mother's Day not too far away, I thought I would post up some of the city's best Mother's Day brunch/lunch/dinner specials. There's so many to choose from, but my friends keep asking me where to take mama, so here you go…read and leave me alone. Bice – This place […]

Passover Seder at Henry’s
If there's one place I don't frequent too often in the city, it's the Upper West Side. Weird, I know, since there are a lot of great restaurants there, but I live on the East Side and most of the time it's just kind of a pain in the ass for me […]

Bacon Donuts at Wildwood BBQ
Photo Courtesy of AlwaysHungryNY.com Will bacon-mania ever end?? I pray to sweet Jesus that it won't. I just read via Always Hungry NY that Wildwood Barbecue's chef "Big Lou" Elrose has an idea for dessert that involves donuts and bacon. How bad could that be? So bad that it's good, I'll […]

Dinner at Faustina
This was the first time that I walked into a restaurant thinking I knew exactly what I was in for, and turned out to be completely wrong. Faustina, Scott Conant's newest venture in the Cooper Square hotel, is a bit of a contradiction in my opinion, and I'm not sure […]
