Food Adventuring Around NYC
We are on a strict time schedule when making these videos, but we found a few moments to goof off and lucky for you, they were captured on tape. So here’s a short funny little blooper reel of the shenanigans that happened behind the scenes during the shooting of Episode 6: Something Borrowed, Something Brewed. …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. A few weeks ago I went to what I thought was a “Tap Takeover” by Empire Brewing Company at Pony Bar. I got to try their great seasonal White Aphro, but most of the beers on the menu were not actually from Empire. Two beers …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word “resin” outside of referring to leftover bits of marijuana. And when Sixpoint released one of their newer can offerings and named it Resin, I assume it referred to the fact that the hop flower is closely related …
We almost didn’t go to Googa Mooga yesterday afternoon. Even though I had secured tickets, the overwhelming negative response to the food festival’s first day (on Saturday) was disheartening. I mean, of course I expected it to be crowded and chaotic, but the horror stories about hour long waits and the scarcity of actual food …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. As an addendum to this review, it turns out the beer I reviewed was mislabeled and in fact not Long Ireland’s Celtic Ale. Greg, one of the owners at Long Ireland Beer Company, wrote to inform me that this must have been their Pale Ale …
This one has been a looong time coming. And it is finally here! The latest webisode is co-produced by Urban Oyster and co-stars co-founder and resident beer expert David Naczycz. Now through the end of June, we’re offering 20% off tickets to any of their beer related tours. Brian begins training to give beer tours …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, 61 LOCAL IS NOW CLOSED. I can officially say 61 Local is my new hang out. We’ll be hosting the premiere of the beer episode tonight at 7pm at this wonderful new public house in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn because their community ideals are very similar …
Here’s one more teaser for the premiere event on Wednesday, May 9 at 61 Local. The three brewers who are featured in the video (Anderson Sant’anna De Lima, Kelly Taylor, and Garrett Oliver) discuss the importance of craft beer. Everybody pay attention! And come to the event on May 9. It’s free, so there’s really …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Every so often in New York, a craft beer bar or shop announces a brewery takeover. That means a brewery brings a wide selection of their beers (and some rare options) and fills the bar’s taps. It’s an exclusive, exciting taste-athon. Especially if that brewery …
The third and final teaser in what I like to call the Brewmaster’s Series is here. Check the others out here and here. There are still two more teasers to come before the May 9 premiere of the beer episode ay 61 Local. Is everybody excited yet? Here I get to spend some time with …
We just released the second in a series of teasers for the upcoming beer episode. Who’s coming to the premiere on May 9? You can find out more details here. And watch the first teaser here. I check out the industrial brewery known as Greenpoint Beer Works, where Kelly Taylor brews the beers for Heartland …
Here’s the first in a series of teasers for the upcoming beer episode. I got a glimpse into 508 Gastrobrewery’s amazing brewery in the basement of the restaurant. Brewmaster and co-owner Anderson Sant’anna De Lima shows me how it works. Check out the video below.
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I like good beer. I also like Good Beer, the subterranean East Village beer shop that sells a wide range of domestic and international craft beer. Not only is this place a wonderful place to buy beer – it’s also a wonderful place to drink …
We’re having a special premiere screening of my next episode and you’re invited to join us. It’s been a long time coming, but the Beer Episode is finally upon us. It’s been produced in conjunction with Urban Oyster and features me getting myself in another hilarious and embarrassing situation while searching for the city’s best …
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 …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I know next to nothing about the stock exchange and finances. I can tell tourists downtown how to get to the NYSE building, but that’s about it. Beer, however, is something I fully appreciate and understand. The folks behind The New York Beer Company, the …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, MEXIQ IS NOW CLOSED. I remember when MexiQ opened in Astoria not too long and it threatened to be one more loud café/restaurant on 30th Avenue that would be perfect for people watching on the walk home from the subway. The menu was mercifully not …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I’ve been trying to visit a different bar each time I taste a new local beer on this journey. However, The Brazen Head was nearby and I was looking for a specific beer to taste. Since St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow (and I like to …
As many of you know, I also write for a little blog called Midtown Lunch. This is the first collaboration in hopefully a series of videos we’ll be making together. You won’t see this on the ML site until Friday for the Happy Hour post, but here’s a little sneak peek of our St. Patrick’s …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Who in their right mind would show up at a brewery and order a different brewery’s beer at the bar? It turns out I would. But let me explain. The brewery in question is technically located in Dublin and I was in Lower Manhattan. Fraunces Tavern, …
