Food Adventuring Around NYC
During a morning trip to Queens, I found Neapli Bhanchha Ghar open early and so I snuck in for some Himalayan pites. This place has been well-known in the borough for a number of years and in fact, I realized I too had been here but didn’t take good note of the name. That’s ok …
That corner spot in front of a busy subway station is prime real estate for a quick and fast NYC joint. And Flé Flé Grill lucked out here when they opened in 2018. Set up like a Mediterranean Chipotle, this is quick and cheap and on the healthier side of fast food. I hear good …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Ace’s in Williamsburg has that very old-school nostalgic vibe that we’ve come to expect from hip modern NYC pizzerias. It also has the other thing we’ve come to expect: thick Detroit-style pizza.
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… The Margherita slice at the very popular L’Industrie didn’t look like much, but it actually stands up to most of the city’s other to-go slice joints. The crust is impeccably crisp and the cheese and sauce combo had a nice rich tang. All of …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… Cantonese rice rolls have become somewhat of a recent craze in the NYC food scene. And they are really good and interesting. But what doesn’t get as much press are the curry fish balls that are often served inside or on the side. The …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… It doesn’t matter which one you order – all the tamales at the unassuming Factory Tamal are fantastic. Open up the corn husks to uncover a sweet savory mound of masa steamed with things like rich earthy chicken molé or spicy rajas con queso …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I don’t regularly eat at Shake Shack. The homegrown burger joint has blossomed into a massive fast food chain with locations all of the world. I really don’t get why New Yorkers still line up at the latest …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, SHERMAN’S IS NOW CLOSED. Years ago, a modest little food truck called Souvlaki GR was all the rage. It won the Vendy Award (two years in a row) and we started including them regularly on our …
After I didn’t get cast in The Bucket List (the food show I auditioned for previously), I had to get up off the ground, wipe the tears away, and push onwards and upwards. Before I had time to mourn, another food show posted a breakdown looking for a charismatic host who loved to travel and …
