Need a book to keep you company on the subway? This is what you can catch me reading!

I don’t do brunch too often, but when I do I want to be sure it’s a good time. Some of my favorites include Calle Ocho, Sunburnt Calf, and Van Diemens (have we really not written about Calle Ocho and Van Diemens yet?!). I went with two friends over MLK weekend and Calle Ocho [...] A while back I went with my boyfriend’s family to dine at E & E Grill House. Now for full disclosure, his family knows the owner, but let’s just put it this way, if I didn’t like it I simply wouldn’t write about it. I was looking forward to our lunch for two reasons: [...] Here in Astoria, the King (of Falafel) sits on his throne at 30th Street and Broadway.  And by God, does this man deserve his throne.  After all, he’s the 2010 Winner of the Vendy Awards, so you know that means he’s a top food truck. The King of Falafel and Shawarma is my go-to [...] A few weeks ago Laura (thoughts in Italics) and I were kindly invited to dine at Jones Wood Foundry, a “food driven pub” (love that) tucked away off of First Avenue on the Upper East Side. Besides fish and chips, Shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, and beer, I wasn’t exactly sure what else constituted British cuisine, so I [...] Photo Courtesy of Yelp There are a couple of Mexican restaurants within a three block radius of my apartment and I still need to check them out, but so far Sabor A Mexico has won my heart (there’s also an East Village location).  I went a few Fridays ago and was surprised that my [...] I was invited to try a new taqueria in Flatiron, so on Friday night, my roommate and I headed to Choza Taqueria on Madison between 27th and 28th. Now, you may have heard of Choza before if you work downtown.  There is a Choza down by the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the open [...] One of my go-to restaurants in Astoria is Bareburger.  Now before you roll your eyes and think this is another Astoria review, Bareburger also just launched a location in Greenwich Village. Now as you can probably tell, Bareburger is a burger joint.  The Astoria location is always packed, so best if you have a [...] Last night my roommate and I headed to El Parador Cafe, which is right by our apartment on 34th between 1st and 2nd.  El Parador is the oldest Mexican restaurant in NYC and in fact, my roommate’s parents dined there 35 years ago. We were starving after a day of moving, so we [...] Yesterday, my friends Katharine, Yael and I decided it’d be the perfect day to visit several bars and drink Riesling as part of the Riesling Bar Crawl.  Problem was, we forgot the World Cup was on, so every time we went to check out a bar, it was either crowded or closed, since it [...] |
