Food Adventuring Around NYC
We’ve never been so close to home on this journey. We’re headed just a bit north to our friends and neighbors in Canada. I have so many friends from Canada who I hope check this out and give me honest feedback. They’ll probably just be nice (as Canadians are known for being). Sam was not so familiar …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’m hoping 2022 is the year I start eating indoors again at hip new restaurants like As You Are. I came here recently to get a breakfast sandwich and a treat to go. But I looked …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… It’s hard to wow me at brunch, but I quite enjoyed my early afternoon weekend meal at French Louie.

My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. A Bedouin tent is a convertible structure usually made of goat or camel hair that allows nomadic people to stay safely and comfortably in the desert. It’s also the name of a restaurant in the cozy neighborhood of Boerum Hill. As far as I know, …

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 bagels in New York continues…. I just love finding excuses to write about Mile End. And as it turns out, I haven’t written about them (or eaten there) since February. I think we were overdue for a visit. The real reason for my visit was because I was hungry and …

A few months ago, I was contacted to audition for an upcoming cable food show called The Bucket List. It was all about food you got to try before you die. The instructions were to follow the script and pick a favorite restaurant that I thought was worthy of this distinction. No question that the …
SADLY, BLUE MARBLE IS NOW CLOSED. I really really wanted to like Blue Marble. Really I did. It’s co-owned by Alexis Miesen and Jennifer Dundas, two friends who had a dream of making ice cream. Dundas is a working New York stage actress and we have mutual friends, so I had a particular interest in …
When I decided to do corned beef and pastrami, I set some ground rules for myself. First and foremost, I couldn’t get one without the other. Well, rules are meant to be broken. Especially when they’re broken with such unique style and deliciousness as at Mile End. If you read any New York publications or food …
