Stay hungry, be smart
Last week, I attended “A Seat at the Table,” a dinner hosted by Grace Young (affectionately referred to as “the Voice of Chinatown” by Grub Street), to celebrate the traditions and flavors of Chinatown with a special menu at Hakka Cuisine. The dinner was planned in partnership with Welcome To […]
The definition of “sleeper” when used in this context, is “something that’s an unexpected success”. So when I say “sleeper burger”, I mean burgers that are delicious but fly under the radar at places you wouldn’t expect. Not burgers that will put you to sleep. Just wanted to be clear […]
No, it’s not VINYL like a record, it’s The VNYL which stands for Vintage New York Lifestyle. When you walk in and see records lining the walls, you might want to call it VINYL. But then you go upstairs to the different rooms and catch the 70’s Palm Springs ambiance, […]
Another year, another blog post about my hatred for NYE. If any of you are having trouble adjusting to the fact that today is New Year’s Eve, I feel you. Sneaks up on me every year ever since I turned about 27, but it’s amazing how I just don’t care […]

So…why have we not given Thanksgiving leftovers enough love during breakfast hours?? I don’t know about you, but I enjoy gravy and stuffing almost any time of day. That’s why I have created this magical tower of deliciousness: The Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Slider. Here are it’s components from bottom to […]
It’s World Cup time, and you know what that means…absolutely nothing! Well, to me at least. I am not a soccer fan, but I will root for the US of A in situations like this. I enjoy the camaraderie and the excuse to drink cheap beers on a Tuesday, but […]
