Lately, I have come to really appreciate a good brunch; there's just something about it that's so comforting, relaxing, and indulgent (champagne at noon, anyone?). However, brunch doesn't always have to be comprised of eggs benedict or smoked salmon and bagels. Bao Noodles in Gramercy does a great Vietnamese brunch […]

Valentine’s Day 2010: Prix Fixe Dinner Beats Roses Any Day
Valentine's Day is really more of a marketing scheme than a holiday at this point; where people either end up depressed from being alone or bloated from all the chocolate they've consumed. Or a little of both. No good can come of this day. BUT if you're a believer in […]
Loving Italian at Da Franco
Cooking with love is probably one of the greatest things on earth. Cooking Italian food with love is even better. I dined at Da Franco this past week with my mom (aww) in our hometown of Astoria, Queens, and we were feeling the family love. Tucked away in the heart […]
Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival Roundup
Itssssss bacon! What's a great way to warm up on a cold, blustery New York day? Take some shots of bourbon with a side of bacon! That's what I did on Saturday at the first annual Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival at La Venue. Granted, I know not much about […]
Cherry Valley’s Sandwich of the Week Sounds…Healthy?!
If I haven't mentioned this before, feel free to send me a virtual ass kicking. Cherry Valley, otherwise known as the mecca of deliciousness in Whitestone, Queens, announced their Sandwich of the Week. The Sunset: grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, guacamole, tomatoes, salt & pepper on a wrap. I guess Cherry […]
Buttery Brunch at L’Ecole
You've got to give it to the French; they know what's imperative for a good meal. I don't think I've had a more indulgent brunch in my life, but believe me – the butter, the cream, and the flaky pastries were worth every highly caloric bite. I dined with my […]
Preview of Ducks at SPiN
As a somewhat jaded New Yorker, rarely do I find myself in an establishment that begs me to ask the question: where the hell am I?? SPiN, however, has bested me. Located on 23rd street and Park Avenue South is SPiN, a rather unconventional business venture backed by Susan Sarandon. The name […]
Kim Crawford Wines
Not too long ago I discovered Kim Crawford Wines, an award-winning wine from New Zealand that is both refreshing and innovative. This was the first brand of wine that I've ever seen that has an "unoaked" Chardonnay, meaning that it has all the floral notes you would expect from a […]
Brunch at L’Ecole This Sunday Will Donate Proceeds to Red Cross Haitian Relief
Once every so often, a devastating event occurs and I have to put aside my cynicism and sarcasm and be serious for a moment. This is one of those moments. The recent earthquake in Haiti has left the country completely devastated, and if you haven't done your part to help – shame […]

Emporio will be hosting a laid back dining experience on Monday, January 25th, aptly named "Polenta Night." Enjoy all the polenta […]
