Food Adventuring Around NYC
SADLY, SOUTH BROOKLYN PIZZA IS NOW CLOSED. For a long time, anything south of Atlantic Avenue was simply known as South Brooklyn (or Red Hook). It was essentially its own town. This was long before the trendy names of Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, and Boerum Hill came in to play. It was all just South …
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… When I was little, my younger brother wanted to be just like me. I would …
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… Perhaps the most popular dish of all of last year was the Montanara pizza at …
SADLY, DA MIKELE BY LUZZO’S IS NOW CLOSED. Since I visited the modest, but well regarded Luzzo’s in the East Village a few years ago, they’ve been doing some serious expanding. In 2009, Little Luzzo’s opened on the Upper East Side, then Ovest followed a few years later on the far reaches of Chelsea, and …
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… If I’m going to have a drink with pizza, I like a nice light lager …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. It’s funny to me how there are celebrities in every field that nobody else really cares about. For instance, I’m sure there’s the top dog real estate guru that all realtors would know by name, but I would treat like anybody else on the street. …
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 pizza in New York continues…. I think it’s safe to say Paulie Gee is the new Genaro Lombardi. If you know anything about NY pizza history, you know pizza pioneer Lombardi is responsible for the careers and subsequent openings of the pizzaioli behind Patsy’s, Totonno’s, and John’s. The relatively new …
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… We started the new Time Out list right where we left off. It’s like the …
I’ve devoured Time Out’s 100 Best dishes and now, once again, I’ve been inspired to create my own list. These are the 100 dishes I have continued to think about since tasting them at some point in 2011. Look for another five dishes every few days. These are in no particular order. 30. LEMON BAR …
Once again Time Out New York released their Top 100 Dishes of the year and once again, I’m going to eat my way through every one. And no price point or subway delay will stop me. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. This year the end of the list came …
The newest episode, Bagels, will be launching in the next week or so. So if you’ve never seen an episode of Eat This NY’s web series, now’s the time to catch up. And if you have seen them in the past, you might want to re-visit some old friends. So pause that Top Chef marathon …
Once again Time Out New York released their Top 100 Dishes of the year and once again, I’m going to eat my way through every one. And no price point or subway delay will stop me. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Supermarkets tend to overwhelm me – especially the …
SADLY, 900 DEGREES IS NOW CLOSED. The last few times Jason Feirman of I Dream of Pizza put together a Pizza Club meeting, I was unavailable. Sunday nights might be best for people who work in the real world, but since I pay my bills working at a restaurant, those are generally not the best nights …
Every borough has its own pizza culture. Some (Brooklyn) more prominent and noteworthy than others (the Bronx). And while it may get overlooked very often, Staten Island gives Manhattan and Brooklyn a run for its money when it comes to pizza offerings. One highly regarded pizzeria out on Staten Island that I never made it …
SADLY, ENZO’S PIZZA IS NOW CLOSED. Those of you who have been following my blog for a while now, know that I’ve eaten my fair share of pizza. Of course, there was no way I could possibly taste every single pizza in the city on my search for the best pizza. So I continue to write …
SADLY, DONATELLA IS NOW CLOSED. I’ve written about Pizza Club quite a few times on this blog. And if you’ve been paying attention you know that Jason Feirman (of I Dream of Pizza) is the guy who organizes the monthly event. Well, in November I was very excited to try out a new spot that I …
Believe me, I have no problem eating from food carts or trucks. In fact, as many of you know, I give a tour of food carts twice a week with a company called Urban Oyster. So I know the in’s and out’s of how they are regulated and I know they’re just as clean as …
If Time Out New York can do it, so can I. I’ve been inspired and satiated by Time Out’s 2009 Top 100 list and look forward to conquering their 2010 list very soon. But from now until the end of the year, I present my own Top 100 Dishes of the year in reverse order. …
There’s a whole underbelly of pizza experts in New York. I can pretend to be an aficionado, but when it comes down to it, I’m just a pizza snob who happens to have his own blog. And web series. Don’t forget the videos, people! So when Jason Feirman of I Dream of Pizza picked Sac’s …
