Harry’s holds a special place in my heart. I used to come here with my friends ALL the time when I was younger, and even celebrated New Year’s Eve back in 2011 or 2012…not totally sure which one… Either way, I came back for lunch and I’m happy to report […]
Restaurant Reviews
Tacos & Cocktails at: Borrachito
When you get wind of a restaurant opening and the location in question consists of “street style tacos and tequila”, you get your drinking pants on and go. The space is called Borrachito, and it’s a “reverse-speakeasy”, if you will. Meaning the bar (The Garret East) is up front, serving […]
Passover Nosh at Mile End Deli
For those of you who don’t know, I’m actually half Jewish. My dad is Jewish (from Romania) and my mom is Greek (technically from Sparta, but she’s American). I grew up in a house where religion wasn’t a big focus, but holiday meals always were (shocking). Jews and Greeks love […]
New for 2018 at Citifield
As a Mets fan, you know there’s one thing we’re used to: Heartbreak. So…when the snow came down on NYC (on the 2nd day of Spring, mind you), I was worried that they were going to cancel the Press Preview of Citifield. I went last year and it was roughly […]
Dinner at: Quality Eats (Nomad)
If you’ve never been to Quality Meats or Quality Italian…I’m going to have to ask you to reevaluate some things in your life. That said, I’m not here to make you feel bad about yourself. I’m just trying to help. Like that random Netflix documentary you decided to watch that […]
Brunch at: The Ragtrader
Normally when people ask me about great brunch spots, my mind immediately goes to all things downtown. The hip and trendy flock to the West Village, SoHo, and the like to wait in line for pancakes and pizzas with eggs on them. I’m happy to report that now there are […]
Brunch at: Vandal
Probably the most surprising thing about brunch at Vandal is that one would not expect to have brunch at Vandal. And you definitely wouldn’t expect it to be this good. When someone first told me about the spot, I remember thinking “sounds like a good spot to dress up and […]
SOBEWFF 2018 – Part II
The last two days in Miami were the best. And the longest. I went to a club (Mynt Lounge) on Saturday night (morning?) at 12:45 am. I haven’t STARTED my night at 12:45 am since I was seventeen. I also used to wait in lines and not wear jackets in […]
Anti-Valentine’s Day 2018 Guide
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never really been a big fan of this “holiday”. Yes, it’s nice when you have someone to be able to celebrate, but even when I was coupled up, I didn’t really look forward to it. I always felt like I was forcing myself […]
Happy Hour at: Bodega Negra
Ahhh happy hour. A classic pastime for 9-5’ers, 10-6’ers, and basically anyone who works in an office. Truthfully, you don’t have to be a disgruntled publishing minion to reap the benefits of a good HH special. I work for myself and I can always feel my tongue getting dry from […]
