Cajun Style Pizza? Works For Me!

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.

First - and Last - Time at Limerick House

You know a restaurant is bad when you show up a few drinks in, and find the food to be disgusting.

Wednesday night after consuming a few cocktails at the StyleFixx party, Caryn and several of our friends decided to find a place for dinner. Starving, we stumbled into the Limerick House, on 23rd [...]

Disappointing Meal at Da’ Giulio

After taking over an hour to get to my apartment on 34th street from 125th, my family was hungry, cranky and tired. We headed to Vezzo, in hopes to get some delicious pizza, but with a half hour wait, we decided to head next door to Da’ Giulio. If you are tight on time [...]

Did I Order Pad Thai or Lo Mein?

Our little lunch group in the office has expanded from our usual cheap lunch spots - Subway and street carts - and recently began ordering in at least once a week. Recently, we were attracted to the Thai restaurant Jaiya, because of the lunch specials.

Located in Murray Hill and Long Island City, Jaiya [...]

Tasteless Burgers at New York Burger Co.

A few weeks ago, a couple of co-workers and I went searching for a falafel cart that was spotted earlier in the week down on Park Ave South and the lower 20s. Unfortunately, the cart had moved, and with our stomachs growling, the New York Burger Co. sign caught our eye. While my [...]

Tabla’s Street Cart Did Not Impress

After a fun, work-approved outdoor excursion to Madison Square Park last Friday, a few of us decided to stop by Tabla‘s street cart for lunch. On paper this sounds like a great idea - a fantastic restaurant offering its food at the street cart level for a quick lunch - but unfortunately it doesn’t [...]

My Big Fat Seafood Disaster

Everytime I get off the subway at Ditmars and walk to Ben’s house, I pass Taverna Kyclades, a little seafood place in Astoria. And no matter what time we walk by, this place is always crowded. So last Thursday, we decided to try it.

While there was a line at 9:30 at night, being [...]

Disappointing Nachos at Soho Bistro

Before my flight to Spain last week, I was looking for something in terminal 8 at JFK to hold me over until my wonderful airplane dinner. My friend Doug and I believe the best thing that can happen to any airport terminal is a Chili’s, with unlimited chips and salsa. Unfortunately, the best option [...]

3 Decker is a Waste of Time

After a great night out for my birthday, I felt like I was needing something greasy for lunch the next morning. While I was craving Friendly’s, there was no way I was making it on a bus and traveling to New Jersey for lunch - since go figure, there are no locations in any [...]

Excuse me, Sir - I ordered the Pad Thai, not the Bad Thai…

Guest Post by Ben Rosenfeld, Astoria Correspondent

I haven’t seen someone butcher noodle dishes this bad since my days at the college mac and cheese trough. We ordered take out from Land Northeast Thai on 81st and 2nd ave last Saturday night and it was atrocious. The pad thai was dryer than sandpaper, [...]
