I was in the mood for simple Italian this week, and while I can’t say that John’s [...]

After taking over an hour to get to my apartment on 34th street from 125th, my family was hungry, cranky and tired. We headed to Vezzo, in hopes to get some delicious pizza, but with a half hour wait, we decided to head next door to Da’ Giulio. If you are tight on time and [...]

After hearing how great the original Patsy’s is on 118th and 1st, my roommates, my friend Dave and I decided to see if it really lived up to the hype. We boarded the 1st Avenue bus and climbed up the 30 blocks - which during the journey, the boys discovered there actually is a White [...]

Turning again to my Diner’s Deck, I headed over to the Theater District last week to try an Italian restaurant, Nocello. I walked by it several weeks prior and it looked really cute inside, so I made a mental note to return before the year is up, and my cards expire.
I guess my mom and [...]

Before my friend Andrea left NYC for Kansas City, she made a list of restaurants she always wanted to go to, and I was more than happy to accompany her on a few before she headed out of town. So back in July we went to Frank, the famous East Village Italian restaurant known for [...]

If it’s good enough for Robert De Niro, then I’d say it’s good enough for me. A little known fact about Stamford, CT is that a lot of movies are filmed here due to a tax credit. After talking to the owner of Remo’s Brick Oven Pizza Company, he explained that [...]

My dad wanted to take “the girl that writes the blog” out to dinner one night during his vacation, and I was more than happy to set that dinner date up. Laura and I met up with my dad at Murphy’s first for a beer (if you dine with Bill, you need to meet at [...]

Two friends recently came in from Boston and we knew we wanted a nice restaurant where we could relax, chat, and, of course, have good food at a reasonable price. We decided to try out the lunch special at bar.vetro on 58th Street between [...]

Last Friday, the girls and I went out for a much needed night out. We decided Serafina would be the spot to update each other on our lives or as Alex likes to call it, “drinks and a love fest”. With two of the four of us commuting, we decided to hit up the location in [...]
