Here’s a fun fact about me: I have a weird obsession with the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. The cars, the clothes, the music…it just seemed like a great era to be a part of. So when I was invited to The Springs, a new cocktail bar with a huge outdoor […]

Moving Day: Bye Brooklyn, Part II
I know I moved like, a month ago, but this is the beauty of working for myself: no one cares. No one cares about what I do, yet everyone cares about what I do. I figure it’s this way because they also care about what 409,857 people are doing too. […]
Lunch at: The Osprey
Beauty is in the eye of the sandwich holder. That’s not right? Oh. Well it should be. If I’m being completely honest with you, the decor and ambiance of a restaurant are usually not the reasons I go. I’m a “taste first, see later” type of person. BUT, occasionally, I’m […]
Dinner at: Camperdown Elm
Rarely do I make a pilgrimage to other parts of Brooklyn. It’s not that I don’t like other parts of Brooklyn, it’s just that the inter-BK travel is pretty asinine, so I usually find it too much of a hassle. I’m lazy. That said, one of my besties lives over […]
Rooftop Yoga and Brunch at: Northern Territory
I’m not much of a yogi, but when you combine it with brunch, I can be. Honestly, if you combine brunch with anything, I’m usually down. They should consider “jury duty + brunch” and I bet a lot more people would be into it. Just saying. Yesterday I visited Northern […]
Smorgasburg is Back!
Ahh Spring. It has arrived! I think. This is NYC and the weather is about as crazy as the people (present company included). For all I know it can start snowing tomorrow following a 60-degree day. But, in the meantime, let’s talk Smorgasburg. If you aren’t familiar, you should introduce […]
It’s Cold. Here’s My Baked Shrimp Saganaki with Tuttorosso Sauce
Do you know how delicious this is? I don’t think you do. But you can read on and/or make it and find out. It’s pretty f’ing easy. The fine folks at Tuttorosso sent me this awesome sauce kit the other day, and I wanted to test out one of their […]
Bye Broken Face: Dinner at The Gorbals
I kind of just like saying “gorbals”. Try it. It’s funny. Also, my face is no longer broken, so I figure, go big or go home. We tried close to everything on the menu (no complaints), so this is a long review, I’m warning you. Brought to you by Top […]
Serious Burger Action at Fritzls Lunch Box
Well ladies and gents, I am once again unemployed. I’ll spare the dramatics and just focus on the positives of this situation: the time to eat and cook more. Woo hoo! Because…who doesn’t want to gain weight while also lacking a job? Men will flock to me. Anyway – I […]
Dinner at Talde
When you live in Williamsburg, Park Slope is one of the many other places in Brooklyn that’s easy to get to by car, but kind of a pain in the ass to get to by train. So I took the lazy approach and hopped a cab there to meet my […]
