July 4th is around the corner and that means…BBQ! I can't wait. Give me a charred hot dog with some slaw and pickles and I'll be happy. Yes I like burnt hot dogs, so what? Prime Meats is handling the meal for you this year, with assortments of burgers, dogs, […]

NYC Cocktail Week
New Yorkers take their alcohol pretty seriously. Did you know that yesterday kicked off the official start to NYC Cocktail Week?? Yup. Much like NYC Restaurant Week, from June 15th to June 29th, select bars around the city (Lani Kai, Pegu Club, Death & Co, to name a few) will offer […]
Relatively Wordless Wednesdays!
What's in the middle this time?! More Baked By Melissa's cupcakes! I can't get enough. I love these itty bitty things.

These were definitely made for someone else's dad – […]

Vegetarians be forewarned, I probably ate two pigs and a small cow this weekend. Who am I kidding…vegetarians […]
Monday Smorgasbord: June 13th

Press 195 and Martha’s Country Bakery in Queens
Sometimes you have to show love for your roots. When I'm in Queens (my hometown), I always get the same food from the same places. This is not the norm for me, but when you don't have these things on the regular anymore, I think it's allowed. Take for example, Press 195 […]
Vinho Verde Week!
I wasn't sure if this had to do with wine or salsa, but fortunately it's wine – just in time for Thirsty Thursdays! The week of June 20-June 27 is the 2nd annual Vinho Verde week, which means some of our fair (and favorite) NYC restaurants will be celebrating the […]

Run by Colicchio's restaurant, Colicchio & Sons, the "tap room" will be serving sodas, wine and an assortment […]
