Where gluttony is no longer a sin.
Another year, another awesome South Beach Wine & Food Festival in the books. Every year I tell myself this is the last year I’ll go, and five years later here I am. A slave to the SOBEWFF. The only reason I tell myself I can’t do it anymore is because […]
Before I say anything about the food, I just want to say that The Freehand is one of my favorite hotels in the city. And quite literally, they’re in some of the best cities. The one in NYC is actually the last one I’ve been to. I started with the […]
Of all the restaurants I’ve been to over the years, the ones I remember are the ones that bring something truly special to the table. No pun intended. There is a uniqueness to Henry that pours out of the kitchen and into the dining room; from the beats to the […]
I’m not sure how many of you read this little paper called the New York Times but…they hate Bluebird London. So does Eater. Maybe hate is a strong word, but it didn’t fair well in the reviews. I’ll be honest, part of me wanted to go just to see what […]
Everyone loves Bali. I don’t think I’ve ever met a soul who didn’t like Bali. What’s not to love? The gorgeous colors of the rice fields? The beautiful hotels, awe-inspiring temples and delicious food? Just to name a few… We stayed in Ubud during my time with the #TripOfWonders back […]
Editor’s note: updated post for 2018 Once again, I will use another made up social media holiday as an excuse to give you some of my favorite pasta recommendations. The below are in no particular order, but you should know that my personal faves are the pomodoro pasta from Scarpetta, […]
GUYS. I finally visited Chicago! This has been on my list for ages, and it took me 34 whole years to get there. Crazy, I know. The attraction of Chicago (for me) was actually the same reason I stayed away from it for a while. Hear me out. As a […]
The definition of “sleeper” when used in this context, is “something that’s an unexpected success”. So when I say “sleeper burger”, I mean burgers that are delicious but fly under the radar at places you wouldn’t expect. Not burgers that will put you to sleep. Just wanted to be clear […]
One of the questions I get asked a lot as a New York food blogger is: “Yo. What’s a good ‘red sauce’ joint?” This is roughly translated to: “excuse me, good woman, where is the best place to dine on classic Italian food, preferably with a flavorful tomato sauce?” Now […]
Sitting in a white-walled, long and cavernous space near Cooper Square is The Bari – part Japanese, part Korean, mostly delicious. I say mostly because…this was one of those spots where consistency was a little lacking. Some dishes I thought were amazing, while some were a little underwhelming. Sorry but […]
