Saucy BBQ at Hill Country

By Caryn, on November 11, 2010, 6:59 am

I love barbecued meats and I prefer the saucy, Texas variety, not vinegar-based barbecue or dry rubs. While there aren’t a ton of great barbecue options in the city, Hill Country, Blue Smoke and Dinosaur Bar B Que certainly generate a lot of buzz, but I’m always apprehensive that it will be too dry [...]

In honor of the US’s victory yesterday, we thought we’d share a few more World Cup specials around the city (again, these are not exactly hard to come by, so we’re just picking out a few that we like).

One of our favorites is at Exchange Bar & Grill in Gramercy. If you’re watching [...]

Great Korean Barbecue at Shilla

By Laura, on May 14, 2010, 7:50 am

Recently we (Caryn’s thoughts in italics) were fortunate enough to be asked to review two Korean restaurants. We eagerly jumped on the opportunity to try a new cuisine (this was a first for both of us) and headed over to Shilla, a Korean restaurant located in Korea Town, for a spin.

After reading Laura’s review last week about Dinosaur, I’ve been craving barbecue. I want to try Hill Country, but I’m also tempted to go back to an old favorite, Virgil’s in Time Square. I hopped on the site and noticed an advertisement for Ribstock. On Wednesday, August 12th, the Nokia Theater and [...]

If you’ve lived in New York for at least a week, you’ve probably seen the signs on the subway advertising cheap barbecue from Dallas BBQ. With posters advertising meals for $9.99, I’ve often wondered - is this place for real?

After debating about where to go for dinner, my friend Karl and I decided [...]
