A Taste of BBQ on the LES

By Laura, on August 14, 2012, 7:12 am

Last night, my friends Al and Dave wanted to catch up, and what a better place to eat and chat with the boys then a BBQ spot. Â Dave had heard about Georgia’s Eastside BBQ on the LES, and we decided to give it a shot.

The place was empty when we walked in and [...]

By Laura, on October 17, 2011, 7:59 am

One of my new favorite restaurants in Astoria is John Brown’s Smokehouse. Â This place is a little bit off the beaten path and is located at 37th Ave and Crescent Street, so for you Manhattan folks, it is three stops into Queens on the N or Q train.

By Laura, on April 7, 2011, 7:37 am

The other night, a couple of my girlfriends (including Caryn) and I were looking to get dinner together in Murray Hill. Â We thought we’d try Mason Jar, mainly because we were able to get a $25 restaurant.com gift certificate there for $4.50 with a coupon code (so each of would spend $1, and get [...]

Saucy BBQ at Hill Country

By Caryn, on November 11, 2010, 6:59 am

I love barbecued meats and I prefer the saucy, Texas variety, not vinegar-based barbecue or dry rubs. While there aren’t a ton of great barbecue options in the city, Hill Country, Blue Smoke and Dinosaur Bar B Que certainly generate a lot of buzz, but I’m always apprehensive that it will be too dry [...]

In honor of the US’s victory yesterday, we thought we’d share a few more World Cup specials around the city (again, these are not exactly hard to come by, so we’re just picking out a few that we like).

Great Korean Barbecue at Shilla

By Laura, on May 14, 2010, 7:50 am

Recently weÂ (Caryn’s thoughts in italics) were fortunate enough to be asked to review two Korean restaurants. We eagerly jumped on the opportunity to try a new cuisine (this was a first for both of us) and headed over toÂ Shilla, a Korean restaurant located in Korea Town, for a spin.
