What's up with my HC kick lately? Well I work a few blocks away from both of them, so the commute is easy. And um, it's delicious. Most people in NYC have been to Hill Country and know what it's all about: BBQ meat by the pound and sides heavy […]

No. 7 Sub at the Ace Hotel
When was the last time you had a really great sandwich?? Believe it or not, I'm not a HUGE fan of sandwiches, so if I'm going to eat one it better be good. Enter No. 7 Sub in the Ace Hotel. If it weren't for word of mouth, I […]
Happy Friday From The Little Cheese Pub
It's lazy time! Check out some pics from my dinner at The Little Cheese Pub – bringing barnyard-chic to Chelsea. If you can OD on cheese and wine and NOT get sick, this is something you definitely should check out. The lactose intolerant may want to stay away; practically everything […]
Loreley
My first taste of Loreley was actually at the Get Real NY Craft Beer & Food Festival, but it had been on my list for a while for a few reasons: it's just a short walk from my apt, it's a beer garden (these are popular in the Burg), and […]
Biscuits, Butter and More at Hill Country Chicken
Lots of "good things in the middle" for Wednesday! A little taste of Hill Country Chicken followed by Girl Scout Cookies?! Damn. Straight. Yesterday, my cube-mate friend Gil and I put aside some time on our work calendars to go for lunch at Hill Country Chicken and then go […]
Dinner at Mr. Robata
How long do you think it will be before I make a Styx reference? I give it…a few more sentences. I visited Mr. Robata last Friday night for dinner with my friend (and fellow half-Greek) Alex, and we nearly closed the place down because we had such a good time. […]
Brunch at Lido
Harlem is not an area I frequent too often (it's just a tad out of the way from Williamsburg), but I'm glad I made the trip this past weekend for brunch at Lido. This fairly new Italian spot on Frederick Douglass Boulevard just got their liquor license and started serving brunch […]
Tuesday Tastes: Cascabel Taqueria
After a rigorous spin class at SoulCycle, it's only natural to crave protein and carbs. Some people would get this combination from a nice slab of grilled chicken and a piece of whole wheat flax bread. I, however, get it in the form of fish and chicken tacos with a […]
Tuesday Tastes: Paris Commune
How many times do you hear the phrase "oh, it's this quaint little spot in the West Village.." and yet, no one ever tells you the name because they want to try to sound cool? Well good news. I KNOW I'm not cool, so I will share with you my […]
What’s In The Middle? Doughnut Plant
Warning: a visit to the Doughnut Plant may result in temporary euphoria. This is the thing I love about being a foodie in New York City – just when you think something delicious can't be made to be even MORE delicious, someone does it. Enter Doughnut Plant. It's not […]
