Food Adventuring Around NYC
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Did you ever crave something cold and sweet but feel guilty about your frozen yogurt addiction? Pressed Juicery figured it out for us. The California chain arrived in New York this year and are taking their cold pressed juices and turning them into a slushy health bomb …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… It doesn’t get trendier than avocado toast. It’s as simple as can be – smashed avocado maybe toasted with some lemon and chili flakes and placed on a thick piece of toast. No wonder it’s such a brunch sensation. Gotan adds a little salty feta, bright …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… SADLY, CHOMP CHOMP IS NOW CLOSED. For all the diversity in NYC, we had been lacking a dedicated Singaporean restaurant for years. Chomp Chomp came along and saved us from psuedo-Thai/Malaysian/Singaporean meals with authentic takes on hawker food. These crispy and funky fried chicken wings …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. Sometimes I’m wrong – believe it or not. Food blogging is not always precise and many factors weigh in to how I feel about a meal. So while it’s not always possible to return to a restaurant (there’s always a new place to try and …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I have been wanting to come out to try Lali Restaurant for quite a while now.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City This summer I spent a few weeks travelling around Eastern Europe and I learned that the king of food in most countries is beer and sausage. Here in New York, I’ve only experienced a bit of the …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I never rest – even on Thanksgiving. Maybe because especially on Thanksgiving there is a lot to eat. And I spent the last week trying to find some amazing dish that would be appropriate for the …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Not sure why but I expected more from Prova. I really had no good reason to since the new pizza stand is in the bottom of Grand Central Terminal (not always the best place for serious food), comes from Donnatella Arpaia (not my favorite person when …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Mu Ramen has been high on my list (perhaps at the top) of restaurants to try since they opened last year. What started as a secret pop-up in a bagel shop by a former Per Se chef …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City For most of us in this country, this has been a tough week. Half of the country is completely destroyed by the election results and all the anxiety leading up to it. This is not a …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, GALERIA IS NOW CLOSED. If you like your trendy rice bowl so much, you can even take it home with you. Because in addition to the food, the bowls are also for sale at Galeria. This …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Wow, I have not put in a beer review in a long time. And that’s crazy because craft beer is more uniquitous to New York than ever before. There are now 27 breweries across all five boroughs and that number literally changes every week. One …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, NIX IS NOW CLOSED.

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. In Around the World in One City, I travel around the world and taste authentic dishes without ever leaving New York. I first fell in love with Peruvian food like most people do, through tasting moist, tender rotisserie chicken. But that is such a small part …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, ANTON’S DUMPLINGS IS NOW CLOSED. One night after a Cocktail Tour, I was walking back to my train on 6th Avenue, searching for a quick bite to eat when I discovered a little cart I had …
My search for the best hot dog in New York continues…. It’s quite a bold statement to say you invented the hot dog. But there may be some validity to the story that Feltman’s provides. Back in the year 1867, a German immigrant named Charles Feltman started a pushcart where he was the first to use a …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Tuna is a fish I usually associate with Japanese nigiri, packed and canned, or lightly seared at a cheesy Pan-Asian restaurant. But I recently discovered that when the belly is marinated and grilled, it is a …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I love when I get approached with a food dilemma. And it’s even more rewarding when I can solve it and then be involved in the eating part too. For Urban Adventures, we often put together …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Most people will be surprised that the city’s best burger might just be hiding at the counter of an ordinary looking old diner in the middle of well-to-do Gramercy. But that’s where it is. Forget your Shake …
SADLY, MELANI PIZZERIA IS NOW CLOSED. At some point I realized there was no way I’d be able to visit every single pizzeria in the city – although others have tried. So I’ve been more selective with my pizza reviews focusing on places that could actual fit the bill for the best pizza in the …
