Coolhaus
Beer & Pretzels ice cream with Snickerdoodle cookie You know the drill. Coolhaus is in the middle of Relatively Wordless Wednesdays this week, and I'm happy to say that these ice cream sandwiches really don't need a lot of words. I had the Beer & Pretzels ice cream on a Snickerdoodle […]
Summer Restaurant Week NYC 2011
Aside from Christmas, it really is the most wonderful time of the year…well for me at least. By now, I think it's safe to assume that most people know how shiz goes down with RW (2 weeks, 3-course dinner for $35, 3-course lunch for $24.07), yet one thing remains consistent: […]
Spicy Pork Sandwich from Big D’s Grub
Oh Relatively Wordless Wednesdays, what have I got for you today? Just a massive, tasty sandwich from the Big D's Grub truck. Black and yellow.. As I was getting off the subway last night, I spotted this bright yellow truck on Bedford and North 7th. No, not Van Leeuwen (they're […]
Some Bites From Blondie’s
As you know, I have a small weakness for wings. Last Friday I went to see Florence and The Machine at Central Park's Summer Stage (awesome btw), and we were all ravenous by the time we left. What happens when you put a bunch of cranky, hungry food-lovers together? Overeating […]

Happy Summer!
To kick off the summer, I thought I'd share some pics of my favorite "cool" summer treats…enjoy! Peanut Butter cookie and chocolate ice cream sandwich from none other than The Meatball Shop. Drool. Straciatella and Chocolate gelato from Grom. So creamy it's ridiculous. Ben & Jerry's "Late Night Snack" […]
Pierre Loti Wine Bar
When the going gets tough, the tough gets…wine. Or maybe that's just how I do things. In the midst of a rather hectic week, I found some time to stop by my old stomping ground (Midtown East) and try out Pierre Loti, the newest location of this French-inspired wine bar. […]
