Newsflash! Joy Burger Bar Opens in West Village!

Good news! One of my favorite burger places, Joy Burger Bar, has opened its second location. If you haven’t made it up to their 100th and Lexington location, you can now check them out in the West Village on Washington Pl and 6th Ave.

I stopped by last night for their soft opening party, [...]

Best RW Experience Yet at Rothmann’s Steakhouse and Grill!

As we’ve said time and time again, steakhouses are your best bet for a good Restaurant Week experience, and Rothmann’s Steakhouse and Grill was no exception.

I went Monday night and had a great evening from start to finish. The decor was simple and sophisticated, similar to other big steakhouses, and they started us [...]

Stellar AYCD Brunch at the Sunburnt Calf

The Sunburnt Cow is an AYCD New York City brunch institution and its sister restaurant, Bondi Road, is supposed to be great too. Earlier this year the Moo Life Group expanded and opened the Sunburnt Calf on the Upper West Side. Apparently they all serve the same food with the same prices and specials, [...]

DiWine is the Perfect Date Spot

If you are in Astoria and looking for a date spot, look no further than DiWine. I went to DiWine last Monday, and this wine bar was pretty quiet (I’ve heard it gets busier especially towards the weekend). The cool thing about it being kind of empty was that [...]

Saucy BBQ at Hill Country

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 [...]

Tenzan Sushi Earns a 10 in My Book

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 [...]

Cheap Lunch Specials, Drink Deals and Craft Beers - The Brews Brothers Has It All

I love burgers. I love beer. I love them even more when I get them at a discounted price. That’s why I’m so infatuated with The Brews Brothers on the UES.

The Friday before Labor Day my ex-coworkers all get out of work early, so we wanted to find a place for a cheap [...]

A New Favorite NYC Diner

Well, I guess it is time to announce that my roommate and I are officially moving to Astoria. Don’t worry, Caryn will still live on 89th Street, so there will be plenty of Manhattan content.

While apartment hunting though, my roommate introduced me to the Neptune Diner, out in Astoria by the Astoria Blvd [...]

The Only Bagel Place You Need in Murray Hill

We moved into our apartment 11 months ago, and on our first morning in our new home, we went to NY Bagels & Cafe. Since then, I haven’t walked into another bagel place on the weekend.

NY Bagels & Cafe is located on 1st Ave between 34th and 33rd. When you walk in, you [...]

Happy Hour is Great at Hop Devil Grill

A few weeks back, my friend Dan (who had the pleasure of living next door to me growing up) was in town visiting from Minnesota, and we were trying to narrow down a place to go for drinks. We decided on Hop Devil Grill in the East Village because it was right in the [...]
