The after-effects of Superstorm Sandy have been devastating to New York and New Jersey; Breezy Point, the Rockaways, Howard Beach, Staten Island, and even the love-to-hate-it Jersey Shore have been destroyed. Watching the news this past week and seeing all of the people who have lost their homes and loved […]

Nothing is Impossible in Dubai!
I’m back from Dubai. I’ve been back actually…but I’ve been lazy and busy with the good old day job. Forgive me. I had an amazing trip with some amazing people, all thanks to my good friend Greg. Greg and I have known each other since we were kids…literally 12 years […]
Strike Against SOPA and PIPA
I had to jump in here and say something, because if either of these bills pass, sites like mine (and many more much larger ones) will be privy to the censorship of the US Government. If you haven’t heard or read about the SOPA or PIPA acts yet, click here […]
Blah Brunch at Le Comptoir
You know when you read a menu of a restaurant online and get really excited? Then you sit down for a meal only to find out that it’s disappointing and not at all what you imagined? I have had dates like this. But this weekend I had brunch like this. […]
El Paso Taqueria
So I’m a bit overdue on this one. I had brunch with Lindsay the Lunch Belle two Sundays ago and I didn’t get a chance to post about it. My sincere apologies. I love Mexican food, but Lindsay is something of a Mexican-food connoisseur, so I trusted her judgement when […]
Minetta Tavern
I love a good brunch, but more importantly, I love a good burger. Where do you go to satisfy both needs? Only one place in my book: Minetta Tavern. Me and my friend Lindsay aka The Lunch Belle have been dying to test out Minetta’s famed Black Label Burger for […]
Bistro Vendome
In the glorious land of Midtown East, the abundance of French restaurants makes it hard for a new one to stand out. Unless, of course, you happen to make delicious Mussels Provencale and a steak that melts in your mouth… Bistro Vendome, opened just last week on 58th st between […]
Bice
This past weekend, I took a little time machine and landed in a romantic comedy from the 80’s, having dinner no less. Bice in midtown has that classic, fancy-New-York-restaurant vibe somehow (maybe because it’s been around since 1926??), and if the service wasn’t so damn friendly, I would have been […]
Scarpetta
Restaurants that are backed and operated by a celebrity chef usually don’t interest me much, especially when they’re located in the meatpacking district. Overhyped and usually overpriced, these words are more often than not, indicative of the restaurant scene in this trendy locale. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and Scott Conant’s […]
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, […]
