Food Adventuring Around NYC

My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. When I tell people I’m searching for the best bagels in New York, some people wonder how I stay so slim, others try to direct me to Montreal, but the truest New Yorkers ask if I’m going to include bialys on my search. And it’s …

I’m counting down the 10 best dishes I tasted in 2023… My eating out was definitely different this year. I let go of the need to visit all the latest “hot spots” and found much more comfort and enjoyment in old standbys and casual neighborhood spots. The pricing at new middle-tier restaurants also reached peak …
Perhaps by the end of this adventure, we’ll have learned how to say “coast” in every language? Doubtful, but last time we visited a Spanish-speaking coast (Costa Rica) and this stop will be a French-speaking coast in Western Africa.

For my recent birthday dinner, deciding on a special sushi meal was easy. The hard part was deciding which of the moderately priced sushi restaurants to visit. I feel like there has been an overwhelming number of them in the last few years. It came down to two – a more traditional Japanese omakase or …
We’ve never been so close to home on this journey. We’re headed just a bit north to our friends and neighbors in Canada. I have so many friends from Canada who I hope check this out and give me honest feedback. They’ll probably just be nice (as Canadians are known for being). Sam was not so familiar …

Go big or go home they say. And if you don’t want to go home, maybe go to Brazil. It’s a huge country with a huge cuisine. This week, we get a little (or big) taste of the colorful and hearty food from Latin America’s largest country.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Most accepted definitions for the word “gyro” refer to a sliced meat sandwich. The actual word comes from Greek (most food folks know it’s pronounced “yeero”) and only refers to something that spins or revolves. Meat doesn’t enter …
