What's a good way to experience Lebanese food for the first time? Bring a Lebanese person with you. I attended the preview party for Balade two nights ago with my friend Nick, and thank god he was there or I would not be able to say or spell anything you're about […]

Beer Tasting Dinner at Loreley
With all the post-holiday craziness going on, it seems everyone is getting back into the swing of things at work, hitting the gym, and catching up with friends. I can think of no better time to relax and grab a beer. Or 9 beers? Get down to Loreley next Wednesday, Jan 20th, for a […]
OBAO
As posted previously, I may not have gotten to OBAO for lunch, but I certainly made my way over there for dinner. Turns out they don’t take reservations, but it really wasn’t packed at all. There were more orders being placed for delivery, from what I could tell. Either way, […]
Sahara’s Turkish Cuisine
Rarely do I stumble upon a place in the city (and in Kips Bay, no less) that offers a meal that is delicious from beginning to end, but that’s what this place does. Sahara’s, a turkish/middle-eastern restaurant located just a few blocks from the Kips Bay movie theater and NYU […]
Prix Fixe Lunch at Asia de Cuba
I picked up New York magazine to check out Adam Platt's "Where to Eat 2010", and I was reading about all the delicious food at various restaurants and I felt really inspired to try one out for a lunch I had yesterday with friends. There was a plethora of palate-tempting […]
Dessert at Stuffed Artisan Cannolis
Merry belated Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus to all. My apologies for not writing during the holiday, but time off from work = time to eat, drink, sleep…and nothing else. Now that I'm back, I wanted to discuss my dessert last week at Stuffed Artisan Cannolis after my dinner at The Norry. This […]
Coconut on my Corn? Dinner at The Norry
Rarely would you hear me say, "you know what? I could really go for some Cambodian." In fact, I wonder how many people actually say that to begin with. But if the meal in question is coming from The Norry at Kampuchea, I can see myself saying it more often.. […]
Two Faced Plates at Giano
I have a certain love for Italian food, but sometimes I can't decide whether I want a traditional dish like lasagna in hearty marinara sauce, or something more contemporary like butternut squash risotto with gorgonzola fondue. So if you're indecisive like I am (or a Gemini perhaps?), Giano appeals to […]
Dinner at Marfa – Guacamole and Ribs Anyone?
Walking into Marfa on the LES the other night, I can't say that I knew for sure what I was getting into. There was a big steer head cow skull above the bar, paper bags used as candle holders (fire hazard?), and Marfa happens to be a city in West […]
Chocolate Pinkberry: Pudding or Frozen Yogurt?
Thanks to my lack of consciousness for most of the past week, I completely spaced and forgot to share my thoughts on the new Pinkberry Chocolate. So here it is in a nutshell: really good, but doesn't taste like frozen yogurt..or Pinkberry for that matter. The thing I love about […]
