This is actually something I don’t do very often, but I’m thinking I should. I had dinner at a BYOB last week, and it was really fun. It’s nice to do something different every now and then.. Rudy was my dining/drinking partner for this particular restaurant, and that’s mainly […]

Tea and Champagne at The Tea Set
Tea and crumpets? No. That's not how I roll. What can be more relaxing than a night that starts off with some bubbly, fills you up with some comforting food (note: not comfort food, but comforting food), then finishes up with some soothing chai tea? Ahhhh…who knew imbibe and zen […]
Top Chef Just Desserts Screening Hosted by Godiva
Last night I had the honor of mingling with the likes of Johnny Iuzzini, Claire Robinson, and Gail Simmons. Loved Claire Robinson by the way – what a down to earth, friendly chick. Definitely wouldn’t have pictured her with Johnny Iuzzini, but hey, I guess that hair of his has […]
Shake Shack Coming To BK!
Danny Meyer and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will be dining on Shackburgers and Shakes on the steps of Borough Hall tomorrow, and they'll be joined by Shake Shack CEO David Swinghamer and COO Randy Gurutti. Is it an eating competition? Sadly no, but perhaps just as good: it's to celebrate the new Shake […]
The Meatball Shop To Open in Williamsburg??
Yessss. I've had a pretty crappy day today and reading this cheered me up, if only for a savory moment. According to Grub Street, my most recent addiction aka The Meatball Shop has plans to open in Williamsburg next year on Bedford Ave. Must be fate. Owners Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow […]
New York Taste 2010 Round Up
Last night I attended the mildly crowded and extremely delicious event that is New York Taste, sponsored by Open Skies and Rhone Valley Wines. All the restaurant heavy hitters were there: Andrew Carmellini, Dan Barber, Anita Lo, Zak Pelaccio, Marcus Samuelsson, Michael Psilakis, Masaharu Morimoto, and more. I got to […]
I Baked: Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes
So when the weather starts to drop, I like to bake. Keeps the house warm because the oven is on. Like my days of growing up without heat in Astoria. I'm kidding we had heat…sometimes. Anyway – these little cheesecakes are so cute and nums, and they're great for entertaining […]
Cast Iron Pizzas and More at Tiella
Never again will I doubt the heavy accents at Tiella. Black cuttlefish ink linguine? Risotto with lobster and grapefruit? In my head I'm thinking, "am I hearing this correctly?" Then I pick up the menu, and yes, there is grapefruit in the risotto. I'm surprised because this seems like just another […]
Pizza and Eggs for Brunch at Pulinos
I really dont do Sunday brunch enough. It's very, very sad because I LOVE brunch. Cocktails while feasting on eggs and bacon and pastries? Don't mind if I do. Sunday I had a fantastic brunch at Pulinos to catch up with some of my lovely ladies from college, Nicole and Ange. Sitting […]
Lunch at Gramercy Tavern
This was an interesting experience for me – I visited a Danny Meyer establishment and wasn't completely blown away. GASP. For those of you who know me and my culinary preferences, I have a minor obsession with Danny Meyer's restaurants (Shake Shack, Maialino, Union Square Cafe), so this was a little […]
