I love a good brunch, but more importantly, I love a good burger. Where do you go to satisfy both needs? Only one place in my book: Minetta Tavern. Me and my friend Lindsay aka The Lunch Belle have been dying to test out Minetta’s famed Black Label Burger for […]

Bistro Vendome
In the glorious land of Midtown East, the abundance of French restaurants makes it hard for a new one to stand out. Unless, of course, you happen to make delicious Mussels Provencale and a steak that melts in your mouth… Bistro Vendome, opened just last week on 58th st between […]
Bice
This past weekend, I took a little time machine and landed in a romantic comedy from the 80’s, having dinner no less. Bice in midtown has that classic, fancy-New-York-restaurant vibe somehow (maybe because it’s been around since 1926??), and if the service wasn’t so damn friendly, I would have been […]
Scarpetta
Restaurants that are backed and operated by a celebrity chef usually don’t interest me much, especially when they’re located in the meatpacking district. Overhyped and usually overpriced, these words are more often than not, indicative of the restaurant scene in this trendy locale. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and Scott Conant’s […]
Passover Seder at Tabla
If you're part of The Tribe but your Tribe sucks at cooking, why not consider a Passover seder at popular Indian spot Tabla? Because…Indian isn't Jewish..? Sure it might be a little hard to grasp, but we're New Yorkers, we've grasped a lot worse. On Tuesday, March 30th, Tabla will […]

Fried Chicken at Brooklyn Bowl
I had the pleasure of checking out Brooklyn Bowl the other night, and the even greater pleasure of trying their much-gabbed-about fried chicken from Blue Ribbon. Was it worth the trek to Billyburg? Well, in a word: yes. Crispy, salty, crunchy, juicy, and only slightly greasy…I give you…Brooklyn Bowl's fried […]
Classic New York Revisited: Dinner at Bice

Please Be Patient With The Pig
I've been having email issues and I just got a new camera, so I'm falling a bit behind on posts trying to figure everything out. Hang in there – some new scrumptious pics will be coming your way shortly… Heavily Yours, Tke Skinny Pig
Dine In Brooklyn!
Ahh something I will be doing a lot more of in the near future. Mainly because I'm moving there. Holler! Not a joke – it's true. As much as I love Manhattan and it's urine-splattered streets, I will be relocating to uber-trendy Williamsburg soon. So it's only fitting that I promote their […]
