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 [...]

Leftovers of my pesto pasta!
A couple weeks back, my boyfriend and I were walking through Astoria, when I noticed a new little Italian restaurant that opened on the corner of 34th St and 31st Ave. The restaurant was cute and had an intimate atmosphere and once I read a review on Why [...]

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 [...]

With Restaurant Week extended until Labor Day, a few of my friends and I decided to check out Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse for lunch on Sunday. As I’ve said before, I think a steakhouse is an incredible value for Restaurant Week, especially for lunch, simply because steak can be at least $30 or more, and [...]

To kick off Restaurant Week, I headed to Park Ave Summer on Monday with a few of my girlfriends. I’ve raved about Park Ave Winter before and have claimed that it was one of my better Restaurant Week experiences. As a result, I was looking forward to trying their summer menu, since the menu [...]

About two weeks ago, Caryn (thoughts in italics) and I were invited to try Le Perigord, a French restaurant in Midtown. 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 [...]

For the past few months I had been invited to try Don Coqui, a Puerto Rican restaurant up in New Rochelle. One of my friends, Mike, works up there, so with a built-in taxi driver, I decided to take the Metro-North up
Cheers!
to New Rochelle last week.
New Rochelle is located about [...]

After attending Cook. Eat. Drink. Live last month, I added a trip to Spanish Harlem to eat at Ricardo Steak House to my to-do list. So when my roommate Al and I decided that we’d grab a steak dinner as our Christmas gift to each other, we decided to head uptown.
Now, before we [...]

With my friend Kristen back in town from Atlanta, a few of my girlfriends and I gathered for brunch last weekend to catch up. Being sorority sisters, clearly we needed [...]
