I'm probably the worst half-Jew in America. I actually had to Google "Hannukah" to a) make sure I spelled it right and b) find out when it actually starts. Holy Moses it's tonight!! You know what that means! Yes, time for some recipes for potato latkes!! I honestly don't know […]

Emporio’s New Years Eve 2010 Prix Fixe Menu: Felice Anno Nuovo!
New Years Eve in NYC: the cause of 67% of all migraine cases and stress-related illnesses in the city. Ok, perhaps I made up those numbers, but it is one of those nights that makes my head spin. So many choices, so many different people to please – why can't […]
Peanut Butter & Co.’s Sandwich of the Week and Holiday Coupons
One of my great loves besides chocolate is peanut butter, and more specifically, Peanut Butter & Co. in the West Village. I was just browsing around their site yesterday when I saw that they have a new "Sandwich of the Week" and it sounds scrumptious: Honey 'n' Nut Crunch: The […]
Chocolate Pinkberry: Pudding or Frozen Yogurt?
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

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 […]
