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 […]

5 Best Sleeper Burgers in NYC
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 […]
10 Best “Red Sauce” Italian Restaurants in NYC
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 […]
Dinner at: The Bari
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 […]
Omakase at: Sushi By Bae
Before I go into detail here, let me just say right off the bat: this was one of those experiences I’ll remember forever. 100% recommend this. Maybe even 200%. Here’s why I feel like my review of this is very important: because I don’t LOVE sushi. Cue gasp. Listen. My […]
Dinner at: Rosemary’s Pizza
From the team behind Rosemary’s, Bobo, and Claudette, owner Carlos Suarez adds another spot to his popular roster of restaurants in the West Village: meet Rosemary’s Pizza. If you’ve been living in NYC for a while (or your whole life, like me), you’ve probably brunched at Claudette, tried to get […]
Dinner at: Haswell Greens
Of all the fabulous neighborhoods NYC has to offer…Times Square is by far my least favorite. It’s a crowding issue. The energy can be amazing and I love the theater, but it’s very tourist-focused and busy, so the food is usually nothing to write home about. But that’s why I’m […]
Drinks at: The Springs
Here’s a fun fact about me: I have a weird obsession with the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. The cars, the clothes, the music…it just seemed like a great era to be a part of. So when I was invited to The Springs, a new cocktail bar with a huge outdoor […]
Dinner at: Nickel & Diner
Having been on my list for quite some time, I finally made it to Nickel & Diner. I had heard great things from friends and food bloggers alike, so I have to say it was being greeted with somewhat high expectations. The good news? They succeeded and maybe even exceeded. […]
Dinner at: The VNYL
No, it’s not VINYL like a record, it’s The VNYL which stands for Vintage New York Lifestyle. When you walk in and see records lining the walls, you might want to call it VINYL. But then you go upstairs to the different rooms and catch the 70’s Palm Springs ambiance, […]
