For the past few months I had been invited to try Don Coqui, a Puerto Rican restaurant up in New Rochelle. One of my friends, Mike, works up there, so with a built-in taxi driver, I decided to take the Metro-North up

After attending Cook. Eat. Drink. Live last month, I added a trip to Spanish Harlem to eat at Ricardo Steak House to my to-do list. So when my roommate Al and I decided that we’d grab a steak dinner as our Christmas gift to each other, we decided to head uptown.
Now, before we [...]

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 [...]

Several months back, a blogger friend of mine, Mami’s Time Out, shared with me a $50 gift certificate to Bruno Jamais. I completely forgot about it until I came across it the other day, and saw the expiration date was quickly approaching. So I invited my friend Dory out for dinner on the Upper [...]

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 [...]

The weather on Sunday was absolutely perfect, so I was determined to find an outdoor spot in the late afternoon/early evening for a quick drink and snack with a friend. But while walking down Park Avenue, I noticed a sign at City Crab & Seafood Company: Don’t Be Crabby – Half-Price Happy Hour. Although [...]

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 [...]
