When I saw last week that tickets for TheDealist’s Taste of the Lower East Side were on sale, I got very excited. We had been to another one of their festivals a few months back - Tastes of [...]

I love food festivals. Last week, we wrote about our experience at Choice Eats, but if you are looking to hit up a food festival that’s manageable (read: less than 75 vendors), you may want to check out theDealist’s “Tastes of the Village” festival.
This event will be held on May 1 and 2, [...]

Apologies for this post being a bit late, as Caryn (thoughts in italics) and I were traveling in London and then had to deal with quitting and starting jobs (ok, maybe that was just me; you’re not too far from the truth there). Anywho, despite how busy the past month has been, one event [...]

Do yourself a favor and buy your ticket to this year’s Village Voice’s Choice Eats event, held Monday, March 22nd. Stop reading, just click that link and go do it…then come back to see why you were so wise to listen blindly.

I absolutely love falafels. If you are a fan of this chickpea treat too, check out the Falafel Crawl, organized by NYC Food Crawl. On Wednesday, January 20, at 6:30 p.m., attendees will meet at the southern steps of Union Square, across from Whole Foods. If you arrive on time, you’ll receive a map [...]

Let’s face it - eating, drinking and shopping are my three favorite things. So when I got an invite to a shopping event at the Limited pop-up store with appetizers and drinks, I RSVP’d “yes” immediately. (Ironically, I had just mentioned to my mom when we were at the good ol’ Meriden Mall over [...]
