This week in food looks like.. Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls ice cream has been released, and the peeps over at Huffington Post did a taste test and were left unimpressed, calling it "odd" and "disappointing". So what makes a pair of Schweddy Balls according to B&J? It's vanilla ice […]

Some Bites From City Lobster and Steak
Still reaping the benefits of Restaurant Week last Thursday, I had a great meal at City Lobster and Steak in Midtown. Despite my fear of fish still inside their shells (and my fear of never getting good seafood in Midtown), I thought it was great; from the service to the […]
I’m Back!
Back from the three day weekend and mind-vacation from the week before, I'm all rested and rejuvenated. For the most part. I'm never really "rested" but I'm awake enough to put together some things that might interest you.. The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop opened this Saturday, Sept 3rd. If […]
Some Bites From Móle in Williamsburg
There are not too many Mexican places in Williamsburg that have pleased me recently (Vera Cruz? YUCK and awful service), but fortunately I discovered Móle on North 3rd and Kent. Móle is rooted in the city, but has sprouted up in Williamsburg! I'm happy they have made the move to […]
Some Bites from Egg
Perhaps one of New York's best brunch spots, Egg, is located on North 5th street in my lovely neighborhood of Williamsburg, though I rarely come here because the wait is usually outrageous. But my mom happens to really enjoy it, so I put our names down last Saturday and within […]
Quake Specials!
Well that didn't take too long. According to their Twitter feeds, Dos Caminos, Atlantic Grill, Primehouse, Wildwood BBQ and many others are capitalizing on the NYC quake. All specialty cocktails at the above mentioned restos are just $5.90 starting at 5 pm, and both Atlantic Grill and Primehouse will have […]
$35 Brunch Deal at Yotel is Pretty Solid Despite Some Slow Service
Have you ever wondered what it's like to have brunch inside a computer? Or a European airport?? That's kind of how I felt Sunday when I went to a brunch tasting at FOUR at Yotel, a new restaurant/hotel in Times Square. Aside from the fact that every time I said […]
Union Square Cafe Now Serves Brunch
That pretty much sums it up. Ok not really.. Beginning September 3rd, Danny Meyer's Union Square Cafe will start serving a "greenmarket-inspired" brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am – 2:30 pm, a first for the restaurant in it's 25 years of business. The menu will include such […]
Some Bites from No. 7 Sub!
I go to Greece for one week and when I come back No. 7 Sub has three new sandwiches. The NERVE. It started when my cubemate friend Gil showed up the other day with a sandwich for lunch. He got the "Filet-o-Fish" which is adapted from the ever-popular (though never […]
All You Can Drink Mimosas and Bloody Marys at Casimir
One thing my friends alwayssss ask me is "where can I get "Bottomless Brunch"?? No, this doesn't mean you go pantsless…but I give it another year or so before someone (most likely in Williamsburg) will make that happen. Bottomless Brunch means unlimited booze for a prix-fixe price (or with the […]
