Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I am definitely not complaining, but I can’t figure out Daleview Biscuits and Beer. I get the pairing of rich buttery Southern food with hoppy malty crisp beers. They make sense together. The part that confuses me is the …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Oh New York! I love these stories where the owner of a specific food spot is not what you’d expect. For example, the owners of one of the best bagel shops in the city are from …
This week we’re getting very ambitious. It’s the first time we are not making one dish, not making two dishes, but a record breaking three dishes. I had no idea what time dinner might be ready since I was juggling three distinct dishes, a three year old, and a camera on me. Talk about multi-tasking. But …

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City There was a time in the last decade when I was really dedicated to finding the most iconic dishes in New York City. I made a web series all about it and continued to re-invent this …
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. The bagel situation in the United States has dipped greatly since they were introduced to New York around the turn of the last century. Like many things, we have figured out a way to make the production cheaper and faster. The art of hand-rolling the …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… Wow! Not only are we down another year, but we are putting an entire decade behind us. And now that we are well into the 21st Century, I have been documenting my food adventures around New York officially for 10 years. Whew! So perhaps I am …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Wow! I’m getting predictable. I just checked to see what my final Dish of the Week from last year was and turns out 2018 Brian Hoffman had the same thoughts as the present day one. Last year …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… Ciao, Gloria just opened in a very generic looking corporate building in Brooklyn. The outside of it made me sad, but the inside was cheery and exciting. And I actually really enjoyed this PEC, which is an Italian twist on the classic Bacon, Egg & …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… It took my a few visits to fully be on board with Ole & Steen, a Danish bakery that’s ubiquitous in Scandinavia as Starbucks is here. But I can safely say these pastries are better than anything you can find at Starbucks. I was …
SADLY, BROWNS BAGELS IS NOW CLOSED. People often ask me for bagel recommendations near Times Square. You’d think there would be more of those old Jewish appetizing shops in this neighborhood, but alas, there are very few legit options. Most tourists settle into an overpriced trap like Roxy’s or Brooklyn Diner and think they’ve had …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City We go back to Maine every year for our anniversary and there are a few places we have to stop at to eat every single year. There are lobster rolls, giant oysters, and clam shacks. But …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Before avocado toast and flat whites became the Australian dishes of choice here in NYC, we had meat pies and sausage rolls. It’s the working class food of Australia loved by meat eaters across the country …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City If someone were to try to sell me on a salmon cake, I would imagine it would be somewhat similar to a crab cake, but of course using salmon in place of crab. I never would have …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… One thing I vowed to do this year is to eat less meat. And I was mostly successful at that, as is evidenced in my list of 100 Best dishes. I found some amazing vegetarian (and vegan) food around the city. It’s easier and more …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… Most Instagram food sensations are hued with bright rainbow colors. Not so the eye-catching malted pancakes at the Williamsburg hit Sunday in Brooklyn. These fluffy buttery breakfast gutbombs are surprisingly different shades of brown but no less striking (or delicious). In lieu of maple syrup, the …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I saved this little treasure until now so that I could make it the final Dish of the Week of the year. Not only has it been surprisingly memorable since I put my mouth around it, …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… Rita is one of the more exciting all-day cafés to open this year in the city. Everything they serve has a little Spanish twist on what you’d expect. Case in point is the excellent organic yogurt that is enlivened with the addition of tangy rich …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… SADLY, ARCADE BAKERY IS NOW CLOSED. Woah! I knew Arcade Bakery made incredible buttery French pastries but I had never tasted anything quite like the Chocolate Hazelnut Danish. The substantial log breaks apart into a flaky mess. Bits of rich dark chocolate linger throughout and …
