As a contributor to hyperlocal news site Nearsay, I’m invited to check out different events that are part of the site’s concierge program where they reward contributors. When I saw an opportunity to dine at Nanoosh, a Mediterranean establishment in the East Village, I decided to take advantage of this offer. I headed over [...] I’ve heard a ton about Two Boots pizza over the past few years (and we’ve even shared some Deal Alerts), but for some unknown reason I had never been there before. That changed a few weeks ago when my boyfriend discovered there was one a few blocks from me and insisted that we go. [...] A couple weeks back, I made the trip to 16 Handles with my old roommate Crystal. If you aren’t familiar, 16 Handles is in the East Village on 2nd Ave between 9th and 10th. Unlike other fro-yo shops, 16 Handles gives you full control of making your sundae, and charges you by the weight, [...] The Chinese combination dinner is a rare find here in the city.

While Le Perigord was a classy French establishment, I went in with the mindset that this is a place I’d take my parents (or have them take me) or go on an anniversary [...] Earlier this month, Caryn and I were invited out to try a restaurant in the East Village, Esperanto, over on Avenue C and we brought our friend Tim along. Esperanto serves Latin American type food and has a casual and comfortable vibe. To kick off dinner, we started with some cocktails. I went with [...] I really wanted to settle in last Tuesday with a big cheese pizza and Home Alone, but when I saw there was a new Thai place in the neighborhood, I couldn’t help but try it. FUSE is a new Japanese/Thai spot here in Murray Hill on 2nd Ave between 34th and 35th. Unfortunately, I [...] Turning again to my Diner’s Deck, I headed over to the Theater District last week to try an Italian restaurant, Nocello. I walked by it several weeks prior and it looked really cute inside, so I made a mental note to return before the year is up, and my cards expire. I guess my [...] |
