I hate Mondays. Almost more than I hate tourists. But you know what's a good way to get over any fear? Face it head on. Case and point: Monday night pizza and beer special in Little Italy. That's right – beat those Monday blues with beer and pizza consumption followed […]

Delivery Week Starts Oct 19th in NYC
Hermits rejoice! It's restaurant week for the lonely. More commonly known as Delivery Week (October 19th- 31st), you can get a three course lunch for $12.09 (plus tax) or a three course dinner for $20.09 (plus tax) delivered when you order via SeamlessWeb (my pick) or the Delivery Week website. […]
Sunday Brunch at The Smith
I wanted to write about this the second I left the restaurant yesterday, but I believe I lapsed into a small coma. Yes, a banana/potato waffle-induced coma. What am I referring to? Brunch at The Smith in the East Village. I made a reservation for brunch (the day of!) for 1 […]
NY Culinary Experience: Chocolate Balloons and Phyllo with Jacques Torres
This is a bit overdue, but I have to write about it because it was awesome. So deal with it. I attended the NYC Culinary Experience this past weekend, and it was so exciting to be there watching and taking cooking classes with top-caliber chefs. My first class was with […]
Bored of Bordeaux? Discover the Wines of South America
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 […]

Tanuki Tavern Opens Tonight in Gansevoort
The Meatpacking District gets some fish with Tanuki Tavern, a Japanese sushi/tapas spot opening tonight in the Gansevoort Hotel. I didn't even know the Japanese had tapas, but apparently they do, and it is known in Japan as "Izakaya." Izakaya roughly translates to: "a Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks." What […]

Hill Country is Opening Fried Chicken Joint
Thank GOD. I think one of the few things NYC is really lacking in terms of comfort food is a true fried chicken restaurant. There's only so much KFC and Popeye's a person can eat before fatal indigestion sets in. Hill Country will be opening a rather large fried chicken joint […]
Barros Luco is Open – Time for Tasting!
After months of walking back and forth in front of this place like some stalker ex-girlfriend, the doors have finally opened for Barros Luco, the Chilean sandwich shop in midtown. It was 5:20 pm, and I was having a bad case of the Mondays. The one thing I was looking forward to was […]
