Where gluttony is no longer a sin.
The difference between a good Italian restaurant and a great Italian restaurant? Consistency. And a damn good sauce. Carbone is one of those places that never stops being good; every time I come here, no matter the day, hour, or season, it’s good. Ok, it’s very good. When you sit […]
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 […]
Again, apologies for the delay on this one…I’ve been behind on life. A lot of you have asked for a roundup of the places I visited in Seattle, so here you go! Please keep in mind, I was only there for 3 days and my knee was REALLY bad at […]
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 […]
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 am way behind on this post, so for those of you who follow me on Instagram and have been asking for this list…I’m so sorry! Would you believe me if I told you I thought I wrote it already? Because seriously, I did. That’s how much I’m losing my […]
Ohhhh Times Square. How I LOATHE THEE. Let me count thy ways. Ok sorry, it’s fine, I won’t count. If you’re a born and raised New Yorker like myself, chances are you hate this place too. It’s full of energy, I’ll give it that, but it’s overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. SO […]
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, the top 5 don’t change much. I’ve been eating in this city for 35 years, and reviewing it for over […]
This list has been a long time coming. I’ve been compiling it for a while and every time I think I’ve finished it, a new “great” place opens up. Then I think to myself, might as well go with what I know to be good and consistent, as opposed to […]
