There are a couple of Mexican restaurants within a three block radius of my apartment and I still need to check them out, but so far Sabor A Mexico has won my heart (there’s also an East Village location). I went a few Fridays ago and was surprised that my [...]

I was invited to try a new taqueria in Flatiron, so on Friday night, my roommate and I headed to Choza Taqueria on Madison between 27th and 28th.
Now, you may have heard of Choza before if you work downtown. There is a Choza down by the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the open [...]

One of my go-to restaurants in Astoria is Bareburger. Now before you roll your eyes and think this is another Astoria review, Bareburger also just launched a location in Greenwich Village.

Last night my roommate and I headed to El Parador Cafe, which is right by our apartment on 34th between 1st and 2nd. El Parador is the oldest Mexican restaurant in NYC and in fact, my roommate’s parents dined there 35 years ago. We were starving after a day of moving, so we [...]

I moved yesterday and on Wednesday my mom helped me pack up (which is pretty much the worst chore ever) so I felt I at least owed her dinner. However, seeing as moving takes a financial toll, pizza was all that my limited budget could afford, so I wanted to be sure it was [...]

If you’re looking for an intimate pre-matinee lunch in the theatre district, the Carnegie Deli on 7th Avenue near 55th Street is not the place to find it. In this very busy establishment, diners are seated about as close together as US Airways economy [...]

Two friends recently came in from Boston and we knew we wanted a nice restaurant where we could relax, chat, and, of course, have good food at a reasonable price. We decided to try out the lunch special at bar.vetro on 58th Street between 2nd and [...]

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 [...]
