I happen to really like Del Friscos Steakhouse in Midtown. YEAH I SAID IT. Some people claim it's not good because "it's a chain" or "it's in Midtown", but I used to work in the area, have been there a ton of times and never left disappointed. I also had […]

Bites From Taim Mobile Falafel Truck
Being of half-Jewish descent by way of Romania, I don't know much about many of the Jewish holidays (sorry Safta), but I know a thing or two about falafel. And hummus. I had both recently from the Taim Mobile Falafel Truck, and I was very happy; even the fries with […]

Some Bites From Greece!
I think my stomach is still readjusting to food in the US, so I haven't been eating out as much as I'd like these past few days. As I sit here feasting on water and crackers, I will torture myself (and yourself) by posting some pics of the many greek […]
Some Bites From Restaurant Week – Hurricane Club
Out of all of my RW excursions the past 2 weeks, I was most satisfied with The Hurricane Club; the portions were epic, and even though there was a supplement cost to some dishes (normally not something I enjoy), the food was worth it. I have always been an advocate […]

Artichoke slice and Margherita slice. Artichoke Pie. Imagine delicious artichoke dip on bread. That's what this is. I'll admit, it gets a little redundant […]

The Meatball Shop Opens in Williamsburg!
It has arrived. The day when The Meatball Shop opens and I transform from The Skinny Pig into The Fat Pig. As most of you loyal readers know (Mom), I have been following the progress of The Meatball Shop on Bedford Ave pretty closely, so what kind of dedicated […]
My Weekend in Food – Belgian Beer Festival
Friday night was miserable – I got caught in the rain minus an umbrella, got stuck in traffic (F U Times Square!) and I almost face-planted on the sidewalk thanks to slippery gladiator sandals. I needed a pick me up. Fast. "Wait" I thought to myself, "isn't tonight the Belgian Beer […]
