There are few things in life that I enjoy more than the following: Cheese Bread Meat Wine Bubbly This is in no particular order, mind you. Every time I go to a wine bar in the city (or anywhere), I say to myself “I could make a meal out of […]

Dinner at Anassa Taverna
Even though I’ve been blogging and writing about food for many years now (five – holy shit), I still know where my strengths lie in terms of detecting really good food; Greek happens to be one of those foods. I mean listen, I’m half Greek and I grew up in […]
Bites From Sala One Nine
Raise your hand if you love tapas! *Raising hand* Raise your hand if you love sharing food! Ok, I’m definitely not raising my hand there but I am a big fan of tapas and these two things happen to go hand in hand…like shrimp and grilled bread. Mmmm.. The […]
A Week in Sushi: Sushi Seki and Bozu
Sushi from Bozu, BK If there is one thing I crave like a maniac (besides chocolate), it’s sushi. I know, who craves fish? I do! And last week I had two glorious sushi experiences; one from Bozu in Williamsburg, and one from Sushi Seki in the Manhattan. Bozu sits on […]

Bites from Brunch at David Burke Kitchen
Creative, beautiful, delicious. These are all words I would use to describe David Burke’s cooking in general, but more specifically, it describes my brunch at David Burke Kitchen on Saturday. Following some unnecessary (but enjoyable) spending at the Bloomingdale’s friends and family sale with my friend Alex, we had a […]
Bites From Ino Cafe & Wine Bar
Don’t know what was keeping me from posting this one…can I plead temporary insanity? I visited Ino a couple weeks back, and it was delicious, to say the least. Ino is a true testament to the saying “good things come in small packages” because this has to be one of […]
