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 […]

Dining Inside For the First Time Since March
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 […]
Fun Facts and NYC Restaurant Week Guide 2020

Dinner at: Intersect by Lexus (Mishiguene)
If you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “meh-shu-gen-uh” and it means “crazy” in Yiddish. I’ll be totally honest, I’m half-Jewish and I was pronouncing it like “Michigan” until I saw the Israeli-inspired menu and put two and two together. Nothing gets by me! Before I even start in on the food, let’s […]

Best First Date Bars in NYC (2019)
I’d like to preface this entire post by saying that I kind of hate dating. But I’ve done it. A lot, unfortunately. So…maybe this post should be titled “Best First Date Bars in NYC for People Who Hate Dating”. …I’ll consider it. Anyway. I have been to all of the […]
Where to Eat Near: Penn Station (Guide)
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 […]
