Earlier this month (Laura’s thoughts in italics) we told you about The Dealist’s Taste of the West Village eating event - essentially a food walking tour taken at your own pace. For only $17 guests were able to sample selected foods at six eateries in the West Village over the weekend (Oct. 16 and 17), [...]

We’ve already told you about free walking tours every other Saturday of Greenwich Village, but Walking Tours Manhattan has some even more up our alley…they include dessert! It’s an ingenuous idea: you meet up at a dessert spot and follow a “dessert expert” to explore a neighborhood’s bakery gems. While the tour itself [...]

When it comes to baklava, I am spoiled. My great aunt, Florence Stachowicz (don’t let the Polish last name fool you - she is of Greek ancestry), makes the best baklava I’ve ever eaten. It is buttery and rich, sweet and crunchy and perfectly layered. [...]

Friday night I met up with some friends in the Union Square/East Village area. They decided on Finnerty’s at 14th and 2nd, and by the time I arrived they were already friendly with the bartender. It’s a shame that I can’t remember his name, but if you’re interested, it’s his headshot that’s taped to [...]

After shopping with a friend on Sunday afternoon, I decided to stop in at the Chelsea Market before heading home. I had never been to this “culinary mecca” in Manhattan, so it was about time that I checked it out.
Since I went later in the afternoon, I was able to enjoy some of [...]
