Last weekend, I was invited to a blogger brunch at mai cuisine, a fast-casual restaurant located near Grand Central on 41st and Madison. What makes mai interesting, is that the front of the restaurant is more like a deli, where you can pick up pre-packaged foods, and the back is more like a restaurant.

We’ve written about the Korean restaurant Arang before, and we were even so lucky as to give away a gift certificate good for dinner for two during our anniversary party raffle. But if you weren’t the raffle winner and you’re looking for another reason to go, consider the following:
Every Sunday through Thursday from 4 [...]

When I moved to the Upper East Side, I knew I had to scout out a few staples: my new pizzeria, bagel shop, Thai restaurant and sushi restaurant. Those are my “must haves.” While it took a few tries for me to find my new Thai spot (posts on that journey to come), I [...]

I’m a big sushi fan so when I can find deals beyond the standard $8-9 for two rolls and soup/salad at lunch, I’m pretty excited. That’s why I love Hane Sushi near Peter Cooper and Stuy Town. With rotating specials each day, you can be sure to get a bargain on delicious sushi.
I’ve [...]

A few weeks back my former intern Elle told me about a new sushi restaurant that had opened in Murray Hill. As soon as the words BYOB were out of her mouth, I had plans with my roommate for Saturday night.
My roommate Al and I headed over to Nana Sushi on a Saturday [...]

Today marks the beginning of a special kind of Restaurant Week - LUCKYRICE, sponsored by the LUCKYRICE Culinary Council. From May 3 - 9th, you can check out some Asian restaurants (and some “not-so-Asian” restaurants, according to the site) to sample some Asian-inspired dishes at a reduced price. The prices really range, so you’ll have to [...]

Once again inspired by Laura, I was in the mood for Thai food. I thought of going uptown to try Osha after reading her review (the BYOB was particularly appealing), but much to my delight I stumbled across a new Thai place of my own to try. While walking around the neighborhood the other [...]

If you are anything like me, chances are most of the time you go “out to eat” for lunch at work, it involves splitting a $5 footlong with someone, grabbing a salad or ordering takeout - and eating at your desk. But when it is nice and sunny outside on a Friday, I’m going [...]

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 [...]

After reading four star reviews on Yelp for Ichiro, I decided to check out this sushi establishment on the Upper East Side on Second Ave between 87th and 88th. Although I’ve lived in the neighborhood for several months, I still haven’t found my go-to sushi place so was eager to give this place a [...]
