After a night at Brooklyn Bowl, I smelled tacos on the walk back to the L, and immediately informed my friend Tim that if we found a taco truck, we had to stop.  And then on the corner of North 7th and Bedford Ave, right near the Salvation Army, was Tacos Morelos.
While the truck had [...]

To kick off Restaurant Week, I headed to Park Ave Summer on Monday with a few of my girlfriends.  I’ve raved about Park Ave Winter before and have claimed that it was one of my better Restaurant Week experiences.  As a result, I was looking forward to trying their summer menu, since the menu happens [...]

The other day my co-workers and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and find a spot where we could dine outside.  While walking up the streets of Soho, we couldn’t find an affordable spot with outdoor dining (suggestions welcomed), so instead my co-worker Wells directed us to Il Corallo Trattoria, promising us [...]

Saturday night my roommate and I headed out to dinner with a few friends.  Since two of the six of us live on the West Side, we decided to try the dining scene out on the West Side for once.  About 20 places were booked for the night for a table of six, but East [...]

Yesterday for lunch my co-workers and I headed over to Chicca Restaurant (formerly L’Ulivo) down in Soho on Spring Street.  Our reason for choosing Chicca - it had outdoor tables.  We sat down and noticed that there was a price-fixed lunch special, offering an appetizer and entree for $21.95.  Given that most of the lunch entrees ranged [...]

A few weeks back, my roommate and I were craving a good Jewish deli sandwich all weekend - it may have been the fact this was around Hanukkah (and yes, I’ve been saving this post for quite some time).  So Sunday night, with our neighbor/friend Doug in tow, we headed over to the 2nd Avenue [...]

Monday kicked off Restaurant Week, and I spent it with my roommate Al and our friend Alex at Smith & Wollensky.  Now we’re all looking for a little something different when it comes to this infamous week - Al and I appreciate a good value, while Alex would rather enjoy a meal she couldn’t make [...]

While you may think my first home in NYC was 89th street, at one point in my life, I called Williamsburg my home.  My old roommate Crystal and I decided to meet up for dinner last night, and since she still lives in the neighborhood, I thought I’d head back to my old stomping grounds [...]

My roommate and I were in the mood to be a bit adventurous a few weeks ago (I use that term lightly), so we decided to head out into Queens in search for some “real” ethnic food. We love Thai, but decided to branch out just a little and try Vietnamese. After some due diligence [...]

With my parents in town last week, I decided that we’d experience an extended Restaurant Week menu.  My mom and dad have heard about my many meals during various Restaurant Weeks, so I thought it’d be nice for them to try out the infamous three course menu for the first time.
Since we all enjoy seafood, [...]
