As a contributor to hyperlocal news site Nearsay, I’m invited to check out different events that are part of the site’s concierge program where they reward contributors. When I saw an opportunity to dine at Nanoosh, a Mediterranean establishment in the East Village, I decided to take advantage of this offer. I headed over [...] A couple nights ago, I was heading out to dinner in Astoria and figured I’d check out Petey’s Burger, which has been listed as the best new burger in NYC by Time Out New York. The restaurant is a fast-food establishment, where you order your burger at the counter, and then they call your [...] 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 [...] For lunch yesterday, my office decided to change it up and instead of our usual Subway run, we went to Local. Local is a little cafe in “South Village” as Yelp calls it. The place is small with about three tables, but if you work in the area, it is great for a [...] 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 [...] After a night at Brooklyn Bowl, I smelled tacos on the walk back to the L, and immediately informed my friend Tim that if we found a taco truck, we had to stop. And then on the corner of North 7th and Bedford Ave, right near the Salvation Army, was Tacos Morelos. While the [...] Every year I look forward to San Gennaro in Little Italy. Why? Well, it’s not just because I love Italian food in general (and I do), but because I look forward to reconnecting with an old flame or two - some of the best pizza and manicotti I’m sure to have all year. [...] Yesterday, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, NYC Daily Deals and noticed a promotion at Yorganic - free lunch for the first 300 people. As soon as my call at noon was over, I grabbed my manager and ran down the street to this healthy, organic establishment in the Financial District. I had been [...] Last week, I was in a quick rush for lunch and decided to check out a new street cart across the street from my office. I was in the mood for falafel and luckily, the guy on the street had a great neon green poster advertising my dish for $3.75. I was sold. As [...] Last week, my co-worker Alicia suggested that we visit Tina’s Cuban Cuisine after reading about it in Time Out New York’s Cheap Eats Issue. I’ve tried Cuban cuisine in the past, and was not a big fan, but figured I’d give it one more try before I crossed it off my list. Our co-worker [...] |
