This week in food looks like…cheap eats and prix fixes! Places I'd Like To Try ASAP: Buvette – Ever been to a French-inspired "microeatery"? Neither have I.

Happy Summer!
To kick off the summer, I thought I'd share some pics of my favorite "cool" summer treats…enjoy! Peanut Butter cookie and chocolate ice cream sandwich from none other than The Meatball Shop. Drool.

Pierre Loti Wine Bar
When the going gets tough, the tough gets…wine. Or maybe that's just how I do things. In the midst of a rather hectic week, I found some time to stop by my old stomping ground (Midtown East) and try out Pierre Loti, the newest location of this French-inspired wine bar. […]
Newton’s Fruit Thins Meet Lemon-Honey Cheesecakes
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program, I received these Fig & Honey Newton's Fruit Thins cookies to sample. The cookies are actually quite delicious with their crisp texture and flecks of fig and cinnamon; they're begging to be dunked in coffee or tea. And at 140 calories for three cookies, they're fairly guilt-free […]
