Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Thanks to the response from my recent Christmas video, I got a request to make dumplings for Christmas Eve this year.

For the fourth year in a row, I present the 100 most exciting dishes I’ve consumed during my food adventures around the five boroughs. Look for another five dishes every few days.

My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. While crossing 55th Street to get my lunch, I noticed a horde of people outside Omar’s Mediterranean Cusine (formerly known as Omar’s Kitchen & Bakery). Could this modest little Mediterranean restaurant have a line to rival the infamous cronut? As I got closer, I did …
For Halloween, I bravely investigate the strange and bizarre happenings aboard the Cinnamon Snail food truck. My probing revealed some unsettling yet delicious discoveries. And I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again. Special Thanks: cinnamonsnail.com midtownlunch.com ultraclay.com
My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. SADLY, SOOMSOOM IS NOW CLOSED. Over the last few years, a string of Israeli-style fast food joints have popped up all over the city, but especially in Midtown.

My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I guess when most people get out of work, they want to hole up in a cheap bar with lots of other people for Happy Hour. Maybe it’s because I don’t work in a quiet office, but these places generally don’t do it for me. …
For the third year in a row, I’m going to attempt to eat every single item on Time Out New York’s annual 100 Best Dishes list. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Let the gluttony continue… Time Out sort of does an injustice to some of these restaurants. Every year, the …
Based on the wording of their menu, Valducci’s Pizza Truck sounds like they’re selling toys for prepubescents. Their original pizza slice is known as a “Super Slice” since it’s a whopping 8″ thick. And the slices are sold in “Packs” of 1, 4, or 6. The 12 year old boy locked up inside me was …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I’ve been wanting to visit The Ginger Man for almost a decade now. I even tried to plan my 25th birthday there, but it didn’t work out for some reason I can’t remember (must be old age). I think I may have always been intimidated …
