Well folks, it is officially one week away from Thanksgiving. I know, I can't believe it either. If this holiday creeped up on you (like it usually does) and you feel unprepared, take a moment and browse through some of the recipes from my "Ultimate Thanksgiving" cooking class at the […]

Street Sweets is Effin’ Sweet
There are times when I think there is nothing worse than working right next to Rockefeller Center (i.e. Radio City crowds, tree-lighting madness, etc.), but then there are those special times that make me feel fortunate. I can only be referring to the abundance of food trucks in the area […]
Pinkberry Launches New Chocolate Flavor Nov 27th
While making my weekly pilgrimage to Pinkberry on Sunday, I saw that they are planning to retire the Passionfruit flavor and replace it with a new Chocolate flavor on November 27th. Finally!! I always wondered what Pinkberry had against chocolate. According to one of the workers, Passionfruit is more of a […]
Opening Weekend Dinner at Danny Meyer’s Maialino
After a full day of hitting "redial" on my work phone, I managed to get through to Maialino and made a reservation for Saturday night.

Frites ‘N’ Meats Truck Comes to Tribeca
Apparently all New York food will be served out of trucks by 2012. Frites 'N' Meats, a new fancy burger truck in downtown Manhattan, offers two kinds of burgers: Angus or Kobe beef. Kobe out of a truck? Now I've seen everything. The toppings range from classic onion and tomato […]
Illinois Nut & Candy: Chocolate Tasting & Discount!
You know a day is going to be a good day when it involves taste-testing chocolate truffles and chocolate covered marshmallows. A gift from the Kosher/Vegan/Gluten-free chocolate elves. I previously mentioned Illinois Nut & Candy as one of the vendors I met at the International Chocolate Show last week – they […]
Hog Pit Has Good Wings, And That’s About It
In an act of desperation, my friends and I ended up at The Hog Pit last night. All we wanted was good food, cheap drinks and a fun crowd for some World Series-watching. Out of those three qualifications, I'd say the cheap drinks were the only thing we would get. […]
