Alsace, Tuscany, Bordeaux, and Napa. No, those aren't the latest celebrity baby names. They are some of the most popular wine regions in the world. I love a good glass of Chianti, however, some of the best wines I've tasted come from none other than Argentina and Chile. Slightly under the radar and overlooked by […]

What’s Left To Do at the New York City Wine & Food Festival This Weekend
Still pissed that you missed out on the New York City Wine & Food Festival last year? And even MORE pissed that you couldn't get your lazy ass off the couch long enough to buy tickets this year? Well, if you act now, you can still get some tickets to […]

Madison Square Park’s Autumn Market
If you haven't read my post about pumpkin picking and wine tasting in Long Island, then you are clearly not in my immediate family or one of my close friends. But it also means that you don't know how much I love farmer's markets, which is why I'm excited for […]
International Pickle Day is Back This Sunday!
Last weekend was the Vendy's, next weekend is the NYC Food & Wine Festival, and this weekend has two things going on: The New York Culinary Experience (sold out) and International Pickle Day. My calendar is busier than the Village on Halloween. Ok maybe not THAT busy. The LES BID […]

Congrats to Wafels & Dinges!
Well no surprise here, Wafels & Dinges has taken home the Vendy for Best Dessert truck! Operated by Thomas DeGeest, the big yellow truck was in Queens at the Vendys cooking up their homemade wafels with an array of spectacular dinges for all to enjoy. So sad I missed it, but hopefully next […]
Wafels & Dinges Face Off at Vendy’s This Saturday!
When I first heard about these "awards" a couple years ago, I thought it was a little nutty. But then again we live in NYC; where people walk two miles to work to save $2.25, then when they get there spend $3.52 on a coffee. So I guess I can't be […]
2009 International Chocolate Show in NYC
If you love chocolate as much as I do, you have probably watched Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory and thought, "Wow, I would love to own an Oompa Loompa." And then your second thought would be, "imagine…all that space just filled with chocolate..imagine if that was real!" Well, this may not […]
