Unfortunately, I started this blog after the last season of Top Chef, so no one got to read my rants about the contestants. I know you’re crushed. Anyway, I came across an article on TimeOutNY.com’s Eat Out […]

Hilarity Watch: Passive-Aggressive Appetizers
I’m glad I’m not the only one who believes food doesn’t always have to be taken so seriously. I was literally laughing out loud while reading Yoni Brenner’s list of "Fourteen Passive-Aggressive Appetizers," and I work in one of the quietest offices in Manhattan. They probably think I’m crazy. While […]
Wafels & Dinges VS. Waffle 4 U
There once was a time when food sold out of a cart or truck on NYC streets was considered unappetizing, not to mention a surefire way to contract food poisoning. Besides the occasional soft pretzel or bag of roasted nuts, most people never considered stopping at these places for an […]
Patsy’s Pizza for 60 Cents!
No it’s not 1933, but Patsy’s wants to make it seem that way. To celebrate the famous pizza joint’s 75th anniversary, Patsy’s in East Harlem will be selling their fresh and tasty slices for only 60 cents each! And that’s not all folks – they’re rolling back all items on […]

Restaurant Week Chronicles – Reservations
In true Skinny Pig fashion – I just booked myself five reservations for the upcoming 2 weeks of Restaurant Week. For all I know, I may even make more, but as of right now I booked Mia Dona, Centro Vinoteca, Artisanal Fromagerie & Bistro, Megu Midtown, and Amma all for […]
PS 450 – Trendy Happy Hour
It’s your typical Friday evening at 5:30. You can usually find me at any bar for happy hour (or HH as I call it), drinking and eating my troubles away. I take a friend or two, and we all agree that the place has to have two things: happy hour […]
Real Housewife Muffins
Sounds like a recipe out of The Stepford Wives cookbook doesn’t it? Well in reality, it doesn’t work either apparently. "Celebrity Natural-Food Chef" Bethenny Frankel, from the annoying popular reality show The Real Housewives of New York City, has launched her own line of Vegan muffins from her health-conscious cookie […]
