Stay hungry, be smart
I find this to be one of the harder questions I get in life: Where do I eat brunch near Penn Station? I don’t know exactly why that area is the food sinkhole that it is, but it’s getting better. Check out my other list here for regular lunch/dinner and […]
Ahh Penn Station. The toilet of New York City. I can say that, I’ve lived here my entire life and also it’s just true. When people ask me where to eat around here I usually say “20 blocks down and 2 avenues over”. But hey, I’m here to enlighten people […]
I’ve written a few posts like this already, and I’m starting to wonder if I should even bother adding a date to it. Because at the end of the day, after all of my years eating pizza in this city, the top 5 don’t change much. That said, there are […]

{Aired on December 20th, 2020} Catch my guest spot on the National Restaurant Owner’s Association Podcast, talking to host Kyle Inserra (mostly with my hands, as shown above) about all things restaurant marketing, social media, and pandemic problems. I took some of the questions we covered and turned them into […]
Before we dive into the details, I’ll just say this: it was fine, the food was great, but it was a little weird. We decided on Quality Italian as our place to celebrate the return of indoor dining in NYC. Partially because it’s delicious and has always been one of […]
