Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City There was a time when I was doing video versions of these Dishes of the Week. And maybe one day I’ll go back to it again. But for this entry, I’m somewhat relieved that you don’t …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City When you think of a curry house, you generally expect the proprietors to be from India (or maybe Bangladesh) and the menu to feature a wide range of spicy sauces. And you’d right, of course, unless …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, MIKKELLER BREWING NYC IS NOW CLOSED. Just like the two opposing baseball teams, we will soon have two local breweries that have a competitive edge cut from the same place. The Mets and Yankees, no matter who you route for, are both New York through and …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I found myself in Mexico because it was the site of the most recent Urban Adventures global conference. I’m lucky enough to have a job that takes me to many different parts of the world. Our …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. Let’s face it: dumplings are pretty cheap. You don’t generally expect the best quality ingredients when you are paying a few cents for fried pockets of meat. I love the ones served deep in Chinatown for just over a dollar a plate, but I never thought …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’ve been compiling a Dish of the Week on this blog since 2013. And in all that time, I’ve strictly only included one dish from each meal. Every week would bring a new restaurant and a …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City The description of the Buffalo Milk Caramelle at Don Angie literally made me begin to salivate. Somehow sweet butter melted in my mouth before I even ordered it. The fact that the dish far exceeded my …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Ironically I’m writing this post from Mexico. Like actual Mexico. I am on the gorgeous Isla Mujeres for a family vacation paired with a conference for the tour company I work for. I’ve been stuffing myself silly …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City It’s not often that I spend well into the three digits on a dinner. But when I am out for a special occasion, as I was at Frenchette, and I’m dropping that kind of money, I sure hope something …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Ask any New Yorker for a favorite place to eat and odds are it won’t be anywhere near Penn Station. That’s why I’ve always been a bit unsure of NY Pizza Suprema. It’s steps from the total nightmare that is the hub of commuter trains in …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Do people still make New Year’s resolutions? I truly forgot about that concept when a friend of mine who owns an ice cream shop told me January is slow because people are still holding onto their health …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. SADLY, YASO TANGBAO IS NOW CLOSED. Forget the cronut or the giant Black Tap milk shakes – the dumplings at Yaso Tangbao have been the hardest single dish for me to try. And it wasn’t because of the huge lines or that the restaurant only made …
This is the final Locals Know episode (for now) of the whirlwind European tour I did a few summers ago. My last stop is an exciting city that many people visit for all the wrong reasons. Amsterdam is known for many things, but most visitors never get to see the diverse local side of the city. Part of …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, GRAND REPUBLIC COCKTAIL CLUB IS NOW CLOSED. So I cheat a little bit. My first Dish of the Week every year is usually a cocktail that I tasted on New Year’s Eve. So it’s technically …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… One thing I vowed to do this year is to eat less meat. And I was mostly successful at that, as is evidenced in my list of 100 Best dishes. I found some amazing vegetarian (and vegan) food around the city. It’s easier and more …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… Steps from Penn Station, is a great example of that classic 80’s/90’s era cheap gas oven slice of pizza. The crust at NY Pizza Suprema is thin as expected and surprisingly very crisp. Cheese is the main focus here and it’s plentiful and fresh with …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… Belacan is a fermented shrimp paste used in much Southeast Asian cooking. The stinky stuff found its way onto the chicken wings served at Malaysian coffee shop Kopitiam. It offers the wings an even greater caramelized skin while keeping the flavor subtle and pleasant. These …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… The unassuming East Wind Snack Shop in Windsor Terrace is most known for Chinese dumplings. But they serve other snacks and some are not to be missed, like these fall-off-the-bone pork ribs that are generously glazed with a sweet chili sauce, dredged in sesame …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… Freshness is the main word at the hipster centric Queen of Falafel. I couldn’t get over how bright and fresh this platter of food was – from the Arabic salad, creamy labne cheese, hummus, tahini, richly charred smoky eggplant slices, and perfectly fried green falafel. …
