Food Adventuring Around NYC
SADLY, GREENPOINT BEER WORKS IS NOW CLOSED. Most New Yorkers have never heard of Greenpoint Beer Works, but oddd are they know the names of the beers that this commerical brewery produces. This is the home of Heartland Brewery’s production facility and also the place where Kelso and Cuzett Libations are made. It has only recently …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Since this is my third consecutive post about beer and breweries, it seems this week is dedicated to beer. Why not? It’s a good time to be a beer drinker in the city. I recently made …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Bronx Brewery is not a brand new brewery. Their beers have been circulating around the city for a few years now. But I think most people would be surprised to learn that it is only recently that they have been making beer in the Bronx.

My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Long Island City Is the place to be if you want to explore the New York craft beer scene. No other neighborhood (at this point) has as large of a concentration of breweries and beer bars. I’m sure the attraction comes from the large industrial …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… Mast Brothers are constantly re-inventing ways to fully taste the deep, rich notes of chocolate beans. Last year, I was taken by their cold brewed chocolate (treated like coffee) and this year they debuted coffee beer. Now this isn’t a dark stout or ale with …
There are lots of breweries to visit now in the city, but perhaps the most diverse is Threes Brewing out in Gowanus. It is a huge multi-use space where they often have live music, brew fantastic farmhouse beers, and have a rotating food pop-up. On this video, the food on offer was from smoked meat …
My search for the best pickles in New York continues…. I recently met up with an old friend from college and I thought he was going to laugh at me when I said we should meet at a bar that specializes in beer and pickles. Surprisingly, he said, “That place is around the corner from …
I have the best job in the world. Every weekend through October, the tour company I work for Urban Oyster teams up with Manhattan by Sail to give the Craft Beer Harbor Sail. People get on a sailboat and cruise around Lower Manhattan while tasting samples of New York state craft beer, like Broken Bow …
One of my favorite events every year is Village Voice’s Brooklyn Pour. It’s a great way to explore and celebrate the ever-growing craft beer scene in New York City. So many local breweries have popped up in the last few years that it has become difficult for me to keep up. Brooklyn Pour brings them …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I really plan out my food adventures. I’ve been wanting to visit Bronx Alehouse for years now. It’s the holy grail of craft beer in the entire borough. Problem is, I rarely make it up to the Bronx. So when I realized it was right …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. When I list the number of new breweries in the city, people are always shocked to hear that Queens holds the highest number: 8 currently in operation. There is so much love and excitement for beer in the borough that Queens even has its own …
Not only is Big Alice creating some of the most unique and inventive beer in the city, but you can subscribe to their CSB (Community Supported Brewery). That means every two months you get two half growlers full of their seasonal beer. It’s always a surprise and always unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. If you’re …
Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NYC Brewery Tour explores the growing craft brewery scene in the city and visits all the unlikely spots that are brewing fresh, delicious beer. Right on the border of Queens and Brooklyn sits Transmitter Brewing. It’s an unusual location (you have to …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Of all the breweries that have opened in New York over the last few years, none are quite like Threes. It’s smack in the heart of burgeoning Gowanus and seems to be perpetually packed with people. One of the tour companies I work for (Urban …
Now that the weather is starting to get nice again, it’s a perfect time to hop on a bus and visit some breweries on Urban Oyster’s NYC Brewery Tour. Since I helped design the tour, I was luck enough to get an inside look at all the operating breweries in the city. One of my …
Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. Have you ever wondered what I do all day? The answer is simple: I walk and I eat. One of the tour companies I work for having documented their guides in their neighborhoods talking about their favorite places. Since I’m a …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Of the dozen or so breweries that have opened in NYC in the last few years, the one that has probably become the biggest hit is Other Half. It’s the only one that has fully gained notice beyond the food and beer scene. The excitement …
One of the most interesting beers I’ve tasted this year, the White Coffee Stout is a bit of a misnomer but it’s certainly exciting. The blonde colored beer releases the same sort of roasty, coffee flavors you expect from a dark stout. Here, it’s both creamy and light while rich and sweet. It’s as exciting …
This unusual beer is part of the brewery’s special Worshipful Company of Brewers series, wherein a different brewer gets to create whatever sort of beer he or she wants to and then it is available for a limited time exclusively at the brewery. When it was Saidou Ceesay’s turn at bat, he created a smoked …
