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 […]
KFC’s Double Down Makes It’s Debut April 12th
I feel like this thing needs some sort of intro music – with it's striking appearance and dominating name, I give you, THE DOUBLE DOWN. *cue music* You can thank KFC for this one – it's their newest gut-busting sandwich consisting of all things that make me go mmmmm. The […]

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 […]
El Paso Taqueria
So I’m a bit overdue on this one. I had brunch with Lindsay the Lunch Belle two Sundays ago and I didn’t get a chance to post about it. My sincere apologies. I love Mexican food, but Lindsay is something of a Mexican-food connoisseur, so I trusted her judgement when […]
