Stay hungry, be smart
Something funny happened this weekend: I was talking to my friend about where to go for pizza, and we both agreed we wanted to go some place different or new. And I had a craving – a SERIOUS craving – for that chewy, leopard-spotted, beautifully blistered crust that only comes […]
TLDR: Yes. If you’ve ever tried to snag a reservation at 4 Charles Prime Rib, you probably aged a year in the process. This West Village supper club is notorious for being booked solid, but occasionally you can luck out with a 5 PM Tuesday table popping up on Resy. […]
If you lived in New York in the early 2000s, you probably know Buddakan as the place to pregame for the Meatpacking club circuit – or maybe you just remember it from Sex and the City (Carrie and Big’s rehearsal dinner in the movie). Either way, I hadn’t stepped foot […]
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 […]
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 […]
