Initially I was going to write this up as a straight forward guide to Restaurant Week in NYC 2020 (Jan 21-Feb 9) then I got drunk on a plane and decided to look into its roots. Blame the lethal cocktail of drunken curiosity combined with literally anything to distract me […]

Happy 2020! What Can I Say?
No but really. I’ve been sitting here staring at this screen for a while and trying to come up with something poignant to say. I got nothin. I mean…it’s just kind of cliche to talk about resolutions, and now it’s become cliche to talk about NOT having resolutions. So what […]
Best Bottomless Brunch in NYC
First of all, I’d like to point out that this list is comprised of my own opinions as well as the opinions of friends. Why? Because I’m 35. I don’t do the bottomless brunch thing too much these days. It takes roughly 2 drinks to get me drunk, so the […]
Chocolate Chip-Oreo Christmas Cookie Mashup
Guys, it’s almost Christmas. HOW?! Time flies. Every year it sneaks up on me, and every year I make cookies for FreshDirect’s #12DaysofCookies as part of my #FDambassador duties. HOORAY! I’ll be honest in that I didn’t know what to make this year, but I knew I wanted it to […]
SkinnyPig Travels: Denver, Colorado
Guys I did it. I made it to Denver! After spending half of December last year researching and writing about it for Thrillist (seriously), I finally got to visit in person. Denver is one of those towns where I felt pretty relaxed all the time. That’s just the vibe I […]

All Aboard the Norwegian Encore
Here’s a fun fact for you: I’ve never been on a cruise. Well, at least until now. Actually, I still haven’t been on a REAL cruise yet, but I have now been and slept ON A CRUISE SHIP. Confused yet? Don’t worry, I’ll explain. I was invited on the Norwegian […]
Best Doughnuts in NYC for #NationalDoughnutDay
Again, where would I be without all these social media holidays directing my blog traffic?? Honestly, I’m too tired to think about it. But while we’re at it, I did some doughnut research (why? I have no idea) and found some interesting pieces about the history of the donut hole […]
Stir-Fried Pork Udon Noodles
This post contains some affiliate links. If purchased through said links, I receive a small commission, which helps support The Skinny Pig/bacon content you know and love. I’m feeling a little under the weather this week, and I have had an INSANE craving for ramen. It also didn’t help that […]
Dinner at Ten Hope
Fresh off of dinner at this brand new spot in Williamsburg, and I am full. Also maybe a little bit thirsty. If I had to boil it down to a few takeaways, I’d say this: good food, great vibes, a little salty. And that’s what I meant by thirsty. Here’s […]
