Food Adventuring Around NYC
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I don’t like to do what everybody else does. So when I go to a wine bar, I turn my nose up at all those Cabs and Syrahs and instead I ask, “What’s on tap?” That can now be a loaded question since many bars …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I guess when most people get out of work, they want to hole up in a cheap bar with lots of other people for Happy Hour. Maybe it’s because I don’t work in a quiet office, but these places generally don’t do it for me. …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. The speakeasy trend has become somewhat of a cliché in New York. It seems that any restaurant or bar with an unmarked storefront can be called a speakeasy. Just don’t raise a sign at your establishment and you’ll be hidden and hip. The days of …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, HEARTLAND BREWERY IS NOW CLOSED. While the NY craft beer scene continues to expand with breweries, craft beer bars, and restaurants that brew their own beer, Heartland Brewery has sort of gotten the short end of the stick. I remember visiting the original Union Square …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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… I guess I’m getting old. I don’t really like bars or restaurants that are too …
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… Whenever guests come to visit New York, I like to take them on a really …
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 …
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… While most of the dishes on this list have been really good, Time Out has …
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, …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Anybody who’s met me knows I’m not the biggest guy in the world and that when it comes to drinking, I can have maybe three beers before landing on my rear end. So half pints are perfect for me. They enable me to taste more …
