When looking for a place to grab lunch the other day, I decided to check out Yelp for some great sandwich shops in the Murray Hill area.  Luckily, I stumbled across Lamazou.
Lamazou is a little cheese shop, located on 3rd between 26th and 27th that has imported treats from around the world - if you [...]

After a good weekend with a great crew up in Saratoga for a Dave Matthews Band concert, my roommates and I decided that a relaxing evening of takeout and tv was in order.  We recently received a menu for the grand opening of Guang Ming, a Chinese takeout restaurant on 1st between 91st and 92nd.
Immediately [...]

Earlier this week Laura reviewed a cheap Mexican place to appease our friend Doug. Oddly enough, I too sought out a greasy and slightly sketchy Mexican joint this weekend to satisfy one of our most loyal readers. I admit that finding a new Mexican spot was not my original goal, but after I trekked all [...]

A couple weeks ago, our friend Doug commented on our blog in regards to our post on Taco Taco:
I still cannot believe Blockheads is your ceiling for Mexican food. I think Mexican food is like pizza - the quality of it is inversely related to the price. As the price / fanciness of it goes [...]

After months of suggesting that we eat at Effy’s Cafe because of a recommendation I heard from my co-worker Lauren, Ben and I finally hit it up for dinner the other night when craving a couple light sandwiches.
Effy’s is located on 3rd Avenue between 91st and 92nd and has a cute little cafe vibe. [...]

My sister and I needed to find a quick place to grab a bite before she headed to Penn Station to catch a train, so I suggested trying the new sandwich shop Defonte’s of Brooklyn. It just opened up on 21st and 3rd, so it couldn’t be closer to me. Technically it doesn’t open until [...]

I love Mexican food - it’s one of my top favorite three cuisines (Italian and Thai being the other two) - but I can’t stand places like Chipotle, Qdoba or Moe’s. I think the food’s nasty and I always end up with vicious stomach pains after I eat there, [...]

When I saw that one of the highest rated restaurants on Yelp was a deli in Astoria, I was making plans to visit this deli faster than you can say “hold the mayo”.  So one Thursday night around 8:45, I got off the Ditmars Blvd stop in Astoria, practically skipping to this mecca of sandwiches, [...]

Headed over to Bagel Express this morning on 93rd and 2nd in search of a really good bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an onion bagel.  Have to say, I wasn’t disappointed with the sandwich.  Bagel was soft and had just the right amount of onion flavor, bacon wasn’t fatty or disgusting, and the cheese [...]

This Wednesday Friendsday we decided to hit up Milano Market, an Italian deli and food emporium on the Upper East Side.  With the economy being as bad as it is, we figured we’d save a little money and bring the food back to our place.  Milano Market has a large selection of sandwiches and pastry, [...]
