My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. SADLY, WAFA’S IS NOW CLOSED. When my mom called and I told her I had travelled to the middle of Queens for some falafel, the natural question was “Was it worth it?” And I can enthusiastically tell my mom it was indeed. I can’t imagine she’d …

My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. “It’s not a bagel!!” That’s what most of NY’s bagel connosieurs cried when Simit + Smith opened up in town. The new company has introduced the city to a round bready breakfast food with a hole in the middle. It sorta looks like a bagel, …

My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. It’s easy enough for a business to call themselves the king. The King of tires, the king of beer, the king of burgers. It’s a marketing gimmick, of course, but it’s amazing how people tend to believe the royal decrees. King of Falafel is one …

My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, EST BREWING AND 508 GASTROBREWERY ARE BOTH NOW CLOSED.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’ve never been a fan of steakhouses. They’re just so uninteresting.

My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. SADLY, UNIVERSITY PITA IS NOW CLOSED. Falafel has now become as ubiquitious as pizza in this city.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Up until now, if I heard the name Lady M, I’d think of a Shakespearean villainess trying to wash the blood off her hands. Now I also think about a sleek cake shop and their iconic …
