Where gluttony is no longer a sin.
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 […]
Initially I was going to write this up as a straight forward guide to Restaurant Week in NYC 2020 (Jan 21-Feb 9) then I got drunk on a plane and decided to look into its roots. Blame the lethal cocktail of drunken curiosity combined with literally anything to distract me […]
Fresh off of dinner at this brand new spot in Williamsburg, and I am full. Also maybe a little bit thirsty. If I had to boil it down to a few takeaways, I’d say this: good food, great vibes, a little salty. And that’s what I meant by thirsty. Here’s […]
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 […]

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 say this a lot, but it doesn’t make it any less true: I’m somewhat jaded to the NYC food scene. Before you judge me, let me explain. When you’ve been doing this for as many years as I have, it can be hard to maintain enthusiasm, especially in a […]
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 […]
