FINE. So even though I may be against it, I realize some of you are not. I have to leave for the airport in literally 3 hours, so I'm going to make this quick. If I were going to be taken out for Valentine's Day, the below are some places […]

Restaurant Week Dinner at Zengo
Alright here it is: restaurant week dinner at a "Nuevo-Latino/Asian-Fusion" restaurant. Hmmm. Yes, I didn't know what to expect either, but I was super-intrigued by the menu and really enjoyed it. Spotty, semi-rude service aside, the atmosphere was cool (they have a sweet bar area downstairs too) and the food […]
Restaurant Week Lunch at Devi
I rarely get the opportunity to go to Restaurant Week lunches, so I was pretty happy to visit Devi on Friday and see what it's all about. I pass by it all the time and the smell of spices waft outside onto 18th street; fortunately on the inside the smell […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at Steak Frites
I still have a few to go for RW, but believe it or not, this one might be my favorite so far…or a close tie with Devi (stay tuned for that one). I mean it's steak and fries. What's not to like? Considering my dinner date (Jess) was a little […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at Kittichai
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! That will be the theme of this post. Keep reading…it will make sense. For my second Restaurant Week dinner, I chose Kittichai, the popular Thai place in the Thompson Hotel in Soho. Pretty typical interior – lots of bamboo, koi fish, floating tealight candles on lilypads […]
Restaurant Week Dinner at SD26
View from 2nd floor – event on the first This place has been on my list for quite some time, so I was excited to go for Restaurant Week; in fact, it was my first Restaurant Week dinner so far, and I was pretty happy with it. I wouldn't say […]
Good Food and Bad Service at Lupes East LA Kitchen
Never having been to LA, I was really excited about trying this place for a few reasons: it's LA-inspired Mexican food (which supposedly has some of the best Mexican food), it's cheap, and lastly, I just love Mexican and could eat it every day. Lindsay and I braved the bitter […]
Healthy Lunch At The Smith
Before you smack me across the face with a piece of their vanilla bean french toast, hear me out. I had just taken a rigorous yoga class and I wanted to try to keep things "light" so I wouldn't ruin all the time I spent twisting my body like a […]
Burgers And Fries At Rare
What is it about burgers and fries that go so well together? I was doing some more investigating at Rare in Chelsea. Rare has two locations and I've only been to the one in Murray Hill YEARS ago with my dad. I barely remembered it (prob not a good sign, […]
Lunch “Solo” at Lupa
Yesterday I had lunch at one of my favorite pasta spots in the West Village. Lupa, Mario Batali's "Osteria", is a relatively small but comfortable restaurant, with a full bar and authentic Italian food. I was with a large group for work (despite the title of this post – read […]
