Stay hungry, be smart
TLDR: Yes. Yes it is. Sitting on the corner (obviously) at 475 West Broadway is The Corner Store; nothing looks less impressive from the outside if I’m being honest, but inside is a gorgeous space (designed by the Rockwell Group) filled with gaggles of attractive people sipping their Sour Cream […]
Maybe you’ve heard about Chelsea Living Room – the latest spot where New Yorkers flock to feel fancy, eat caviar, and get Instagram-worthy snacks. Nestled at 243 West 14th Street (right off the L train, which was ideal for me on this particularly rainy night), Chelsea Living Room is the […]
Tatiana (in Lincoln Center) is the restaurant everyone in NYC won’t stop talking about…and for good reason. Chef Kwame Onwuachi, a Bronx native and culinary genius (yea, I said it), has created a menu that blends Afro-Caribbean, West African, and Creole flavors. Oh, and if you haven’t heard, it was […]
If you’re a New Yorker—especially one with a penchant for food—you’ve probably heard of Kellogg’s Diner in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It’s been a neighborhood staple for decades, known for its 24/7 service and classic diner vibes. That said, it had fallen off the map a little in recent years, largely due […]
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 […]

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 […]
I’m one of those people who likes to plan my trips around my meals. There have been times when I created a spreadsheet of places that I wanted to visit, color coded by neighborhood and ranked by order of importance. This was not one of those times. This was my […]
This original post is from my Substack Newsletter, Musings of a Misfit Creative. Sign up for that here! I won’t always double post them, but this one felt fitting for the blog too. Enjoy. It’s a tricky question, but first you might be asking: who the hell is thinking about […]
A ton of people have been reaching out to me on Instagram recently asking for these suggestions! Certainly appropriate for the holidays since they are big on tourism (let’s not forget the giant tree in the middle of Rock Center), and they’re both “centers”, which is fun. Not going to […]
