Bacon. It’s truly what started it all. Well, at least for me. When I started my blog in 2008 (yes, seriously), I had a mild obsession with all things bacon. I felt like I shook a Magic 8-ball and turned it over to reveal “bacon”. Bacon used to be just […]

Happy New Year! Top Nine Posts on Instagram
2018 is upon us, friends. If you’re anything like me, you’re battling a hangover and being lazy. Maybe you’re on your second or third Seamless order of the day. If you are, then we are quite literally on the same page. Part of me wanted to do a year in […]
NYE in NYC and Why I Just Won’t
Another year, another blog post about my hatred for NYE. If any of you are having trouble adjusting to the fact that today is New Year’s Eve, I feel you. Sneaks up on me every year ever since I turned about 27, but it’s amazing how I just don’t care […]
Lunch (and Lasagna) at: Don Angie
When friends come into town, you gotta celebrate. Our friend Jen of @indulgenteats was visiting NYC from Hong Kong, and we braved one of the coldest damn days of the year to feast at Don Angie. I’ve been wanting to get here for a while now, if only for that […]
Peanut-Almond Butter and Maple Overnight Oats
A lot of people ask me what I do to maintain a healthy weight (especially considering what I eat on a daily basis), and I have to say one of the biggest factors is eating breakfast. Every day. Even if I have to force it down. I’ll tell you why: […]
Happy 10-Year Anniversary to The Smith
ALL PRAISE THE SMITH. No really, this is my church. The Smith holds a very special place in my heart. The original location in the East Village is where I discovered what it meant to be “brunch cool”. Unfamiliar with the term? Read on. The “brunch cool” people are the […]
Dinner at: Kingside
If you work in Midtown, live in Midtown, or are near Midtown, I would say there’s a good chance you’ve been to Kingside already. Located in the Viceroy Hotel (Central Park), it’s not only a solid dinner spot, but it’s a lively bar scene. Lots of post-work types who just […]
Lunch at: Spring & Varick
I’ll give you one guess as to where this is located. ONE. It’s actually in the old Koi space in the Trump Soho hotel, but it’s nothing at all like Koi (or like Trump). The space is sleek and bright white, quiet (at least for lunch), and the menu is […]
Brunch at: Gelso & Grand
Not too often do I find myself in Little Italy, but I have to admit, I really love it during the holiday season. Reminds me of when I was younger and used to frequent the area with friends to Christmas shop (and food shop). We always ended the night with […]
Brunch with Bobby Flay – This Weekend ONLY at Gato
When Bobby Flay invites you to brunch, you go to said brunch. Ok, so he didn’t invite me personally, but he cooked up a special brunch menu for us, so I think that still puts me at the cool kids table, right? Sure. And he won’t be eating with you, […]
