Interior You know what makes any cocktail lounge automatically better in my opinion? Throw some hummus on it. AB Lounge just opened in the lower level of Lebanese restaurant Al Bustan on East 53rd street, and I am quite impressed so far. Considering I have been there twice this past week, […]

Sushi-Pairing Perfection at Chado
Murray Hill is usually not the place I would go to for good sushi, or anything culturally expansive for that matter. The good restaurants, however few there may be, get lost in a sea of Brooks Brothers suits and Tasti D-Lites. I hope that Chado doesn't get lost in the […]
Loreley Williamsburg Opening Tonight
Now that I live in Williamsburg, I feel it is my duty to be on top of this stuff. Loreley Restaurant & Biergarten will be opening tonight on 64 Frost st at Meeker Ave, and in true Williamsburg fashion, it is housed in what used to be an old gas […]
Round Up: TASTES From the Meatpacking District
Saturday afternoon, I braved the heat (or sweltering smog, I should say) and headed down to Gansevoort Street for TASTES from the Meatpacking District through Chelsea. For $35, you get a ticket that's good for 6 "tastes" from restaurants such as Bill's Bar and Burger, Pastis, Spice Market, Stella's Pizza, […]

Cake & Shake Cart Brings Tasty Treats to Washington Square Park
I love chocolate more than I can say, and I always have, but this past year or so, I have garnered a general appreciation for all things sweet and indulgent. Case in point: I can eat an entire meal of rib-sticking food, drink a liter of wine, and STILL somehow manage to […]
Crepes and More at The Crooked Tree
My mom used to speak French. I took French for seven years in school. And I took cooking classes at the French Culinary Institute. You would THINK French fare would be running through my blood by now, but truth be told, I don't have it often, but if there's one […]
Trip to Spain Via Lizarran
Back room of Lizarran with stage I took a little trip to Spain recently, but I managed to not leave New York City. I took my friend Jessica to Lizarran for some pintxos and sangria, and everything, right down to the live Flamenco music and dancing, was excellent. Lizarran is […]
Darryl Strawberry to Open Strawberry’s Sports Grill
As if the Mets don't get enough ridicule, now there's this. Former Mets champ Darryl Strawberry will be opening a restaurant in Douglaston, Queens, aptly named Strawberry's Sports Grill. I don't have too many details beyond that at the moment. Now, speaking as a Met fan, I am totally used to getting […]
Dinner at Tamba
Having lived in New York my whole life, I am fully aware of the abundance of foreign cuisine available at every turn, and as a result, there are few types of food that I actually consider "foreign." Indian food is one genre that is somewhat foreign to me, and for no real reason either. […]
