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 […]

Best First Date Bars in NYC (2019)
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 […]
Dinner and Burgers at Black Emperor (@him_ny pop up)
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 […]
SkinnyPig Travels: Juneau, Alaska and Speaking at IFBC
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 […]
Where to Eat Near: Times Square
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 […]
Best Brunch in NYC (2019)
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 […]
Dinner at Wayla
With summer being my least favorite season of the year, at least I can look forward to one thing: Pretty places to eat and drink. You can go ahead and file Wayla under that category. Tucked away on the LES (quite literally, as it’s in the basement of 111 Forsyth), […]

The 21,000 square foot space is lined with buzzy restaurant vendors, a rooftop with immaculate views of the Brooklyn Bridge, and three bars for your imbibing pleasure.

Drinks and Bites at Jungle Bird
Before I do anything, can we just share a moment of appreciation for me making it out to a brand new bar?? I literally don’t remember the last time that happened. My youth has gotten away from me and my idea of a night out is still being home by […]
Lunch at Frankie and Johnnie’s Steakhouse
We all know how much I love a good steak. It’s one of those foods I don’t make for myself a ton, so when I’m presented with the opportunity to review a steakhouse, I rarely turn it down. I’m happy to report that our meal at Frankie and Johnnie’s (the […]
