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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] Last week, my co-worker Alicia suggested that we visit Tina’s Cuban Cuisine after reading about it in Time Out New York’s Cheap Eats Issue.  I’ve tried Cuban cuisine in the past, and was not a big fan, but figured I’d give it one more try before I crossed it off my list.  Our co-worker [...] Last week, we reported that Time Out New York launched it’s Cheap Eats issue.  In this particular issue, I loved that they bulleted out key restaurants in 8 neighborhoods – and Murray Hill, where I work, was one of them.  Second on the list was Carl’s Steaks, and I shared the link with my [...] In the past month or so two coworkers won free happy hours at Public House (the same is true with Turtle Bay). What impresses me about Public House’s happy hour is that it’s free for 50 members of the winner’s party…not ½ off drinks like at Turtle Bay and not $20 all you can [...] Guest Post By Vivek Sukumaran, Astoria Correspondent I apologize to those offended by my use of a plate and silverware when eating street food. I agree it's best eaten out of aluminum foil, or in a Styrofoam container and with plastic cutlery. But I didn't have much of a choice, since I was [...] |
