Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Despite the fact that it’s overrun with tourists, Chelsea Market has always done a really great job of curating excellent food options. So whenever something opens inside the market, I get a good sense it will be worth fighting …
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 …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. I had some weird sense of déjà vu when walking into Jet’s Pizza. It reminded me of a place I had been to once before. It dawned on me that I felt like I had stepped foot into a Domino’s Pizza. Granted I had not …
My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. My mission, which I chose to accept, has been to find the best falafel in NYC. It’s a fool’s errand, of course, because places keep coming and going. And the term best is terribly subjective. But I hold steady and keep on with the mission. …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City If you spend a good deal of time at IKEA, you might realize that the Swedish people love cinnamon buns.

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… Li-Lac makes some incredible chocolate from peanut butter cups to mint bars, but the most addicting thing I tried at this chocolatier from 1923 were the butter crunch bits. Not as overly chocolatey as other offerings, these are by far the most addicting. The …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… I’ve often sang the praises of the yeast bombs made by Dough – always slathered with a perfectly balanced flavored glaze (blood orange is king). But this year was the first time I had tried one of their stuffed doughnuts. and I don’t think I’ll …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City 2016 was a pretty sad year for the New York restaurant world.

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… This year the best taco purveyor in Manhattan (Los Tacos No. 1) opened a secret little side bar making the best fish tacos in the city. These guys are called No. 1 for a reason. Seafood reigns supreme here and their ceviche is top …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… For years, Doughnuttery has been quietly frying mini-doghnuts to order and tossing them with innovative flavored sugars (like lavendar/pistachio or coffee/banana/coconut). It’s all been happening in a corner of Chelsea Market and at a few food markets around town. I had no idea how …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… Num Pang is known for their meat-heavy Cambodian-style sandwiches. And they’re great with cilantro and pickled vegetables on a buttery baguette, but I discovered that the flavors are just as bold and unique in salad form. I’ve been addicted to their chimchurri-glazed chicken salad this …
Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures.

On September 12, the Vendy Awards will take place on Governor’s Island honoring the greatest in …
My search for the best cheesecake in New York continues…. I never thought it would come to this, but I’m about to review a supermarket on this blog. Albeit the supermarket in question is a New York born company that is dedicated to the community and still a family-run business. In a way Fairway is …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City This website is dedicated to the foods of New York (hence the name). But I spent the last few weeks outside of the city (outside of the country, in fact) in the Iberian Peninsula. And just …
SADLY, MONTMARTE IS NOW CLOSED. There’s not too many places in NYC to get legitimate french onion soup. But once I discovered Montmartre, I don’t need to look anywhere else. Loaded with bits of braised brisket and lots of sweet caramelized onions, it all hides underneath a blanket of melted gruyére. Trés magnifique Price: $14 MONTMARTRE …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City This past Tuesday (9/16) was Mexico’s Independence Day (Grito de Dolores) and in celebration, I thought I would focus on some great Mexican food in New York.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, HEARTWOOD IS NOW CLOSED. There’s a specific pizza slice in New York City that foodies go crazy for and somehow always ends up on best pizza lists across the city. Truthully, I find it almost repulsive …
