Simply put, I love sushi. I dread the day that I find out I have a bun in the oven for many, many reasons, but one of them is seriously because I won’t be able to eat sushi for the duration of my pregnancy. So one way that I like to celebrate my baby-free [...]

When I moved to the city about 2 years ago, I fell in love with the Strand. For a dollar, I was able to pick up some great books, from popular novels like the Glass Castle, to some horrible “chick lit” - all for a dollar. Needless to say, with plenty of my chick [...]

Several months ago I heard about this great deal on the Upper West Side - Sunday at Nonna‘s you can eat your way through six courses for only $20! I don’t get to the UWS often, so when I met up with a friend who lives in the neighborhood, I knew I had to [...]

After a fun, work-approved outdoor excursion to Madison Square Park last Friday, a few of us decided to stop by Tabla‘s street cart for lunch. On paper this sounds like a great idea - a fantastic restaurant offering its food at the street cart level for a quick lunch - but unfortunately it doesn’t [...]

On my walk home from work I noticed a small Italian restaurant next to Vezzo with a hand-written sign outside promoting a new deal: $11 for a pasta dish and a glass of wine. I certainly liked the sound of that, so I mentally checked Da’ Giulio as a place to try, but it [...]

My roommates love Chinese food, and while I prefer Thai, I decided to accompany them for Chinese for my roommate Justin’s birthday at Chef Ho’s.
Chef Ho’s isn’t your typical grungy Chinese takeout place. Instead it’s a nice looking upscale restaurant with the whole white table clothes and China. I was a little afraid [...]

Caryn (thoughts are in italics) and I headed over to Pera for the “May Meze Madness” on Thursday. For $9, we were able to sample 3 different appetizers each. We sat at the bar and sipped on some recommended cocktails. I tried the pomegranate martini and found it to be pretty good [...]
