Thanks to my lack of consciousness for most of the past week, I completely spaced and forgot to share my thoughts on the new Pinkberry Chocolate. So here it is in a nutshell: really good, but doesn't taste like frozen yogurt..or Pinkberry for that matter. The thing I love about […]

Dominos Feeds All of Your Needs…Really
Sorry for the lack of posts recently – I had surgery last week and it took me literally 5 hours to write that short post about my Thanksgiving and frankly I don't remember what I wrote. Thanks Vicodin and Valium. Anyway – since I'm laid up in bed and have […]
My Unorthodox Thanksgiving
Normally, a Thanksgiving at the Skinny Pig household consists of all the staples and trimmings: Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, sweet potatoes, corn, and some sort of pie. However, this year, due to unforeseen family crises (yes, plural), we had no choice but to opt for Boston Market […]
Opening Night Dinner at East Side Social Club
Walking into the East Side Social Club last night, I felt slightly out of place without a cigarette holder and fur coat. The decor is reminiscent of a 1940's restaurant – and while it's very obvious, it's not kitschy or tacky in any way. The long, dark wood bar is […]
A Trip to Turkey Via Sahara’s
Rarely do I stumble upon a place in the city (and in Kips Bay, no less) that offers a meal that is delicious from beginning to end, but that's what this place does. Sahara's, a turkish/middle-eastern restaurant located just a few blocks from the Kips Bay movie theater and NYU […]
Sweet and Savory Dinner at OBAO
As posted previously, I may not have gotten to OBAO for lunch, but I certainly made my way over there for dinner. Turns out they don't take reservations, but it really wasn't packed at all. There were more orders being placed for delivery, from what I could tell. Either way, […]

Red Mango’s Pumpkin Spice Fro-Yo
I've been so busy paying attention to the food OUTSIDE of Rock Center, that I completely forgot about what's going on INSIDE. There's a Red Mango in there! WTF?! I'm embarassed to say I never knew this, but it's true. I only do the concourse level of Rock Center..the rest […]
Thanksgiving Recipes From Ultimate Thanksgiving Class at the ICC
Well folks, it is officially one week away from Thanksgiving. I know, I can't believe it either. If this holiday creeped up on you (like it usually does) and you feel unprepared, take a moment and browse through some of the recipes from my "Ultimate Thanksgiving" cooking class at the […]
Street Sweets is Effin’ Sweet
There are times when I think there is nothing worse than working right next to Rockefeller Center (i.e. Radio City crowds, tree-lighting madness, etc.), but then there are those special times that make me feel fortunate. I can only be referring to the abundance of food trucks in the area […]
