Food Adventuring Around NYC
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. I can not figure out why Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company has claimed the borough of Brooklyn in their name. The bagel shop is located in the heart of Chelsea, quite a subway ride away from Kings County. What’s even stranger is when they expanded, …
Once again Time Out New York released their Top 100 Dishes of the year and once again, I’m going to eat my way through every one. And no price point or subway delay will stop me. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Four stars in the New York Times is …
It cracks me up that there are “right ways” to eat certain food. Pizza, of course, must be folded. Pastrami sandwiches should never have mayonnaise. And bagels, I’ve now learned should not be toasted. Before I did the research and started tasting these bagels, I would always order my bagels toasted with a little bit …

Once again Time Out New York released their Top 100 Dishes of the year and once again, I’m going to eat my way through every one. And no price point or subway delay will stop me. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. It’s amazing how I sometimes see things that …
SADLY, DONATELLA IS NOW CLOSED. I’ve written about Pizza Club quite a few times on this blog. And if you’ve been paying attention you know that Jason Feirman (of I Dream of Pizza) is the guy who organizes the monthly event. Well, in November I was very excited to try out a new spot that I …
If Time Out New York can do it, so can I. I’ve been inspired and satiated by Time Out’s 2009 Top 100 list and look forward to conquering their 2010 list very soon. But from now until the end of the year, I present my own Top 100 Dishes of the year in reverse order. …

SADLY, CO. IS NOW CLOSED. I have been to Co. or Company three times now. And what’s so funny about that is, I don’t love it. There are so many restaurants in the city for me to try, so why do I repeat one of the more mediocre ones? It’s all part of the job, my …
When Time Out published this list of 100 Tastes You’ve Gotta Try, I figured there would be some burgers, pizza, lots of ethnic food, a few hip cocktails or two. But I never guessed that this list would bring me to a strip club. A strip house, maybe, but a strip club? And I remember …
SADLY, WALDY’S WOOD-FIRED PIZZA IS NOW CLOSED. It’s really amazing how many places advertise that they have the best pizza in New York. Some signs even proclaim the best pizza in the country or the world. I mean, who are these people? Can a chef decide he has the best pizza in the city and …
I grew up on Chinese food. Besides Italian, it was the only ethnic cuisine my conservative (on the food front, not politically) parents ever dared to let me try. I begged them to let me try sushi when I was younger, but their fear got the best of them. Interestingly enough, the two cuisines I’m …
I remember once many years ago when I worked at California Pizza Kitchen, a guest asked the bartender if she knew of any good tapas bars in the area. Without missing a beat, the bartender told him about Scores down the street. You see, Scores is a topless bar and a tapas bar is a …
Octopus is a tough dish and often a “tough” dish. I was never a huge fan of octopus sushi because it’s very chewy and I always felt like my jaw was getting a work-out. And I hate working out. I have had some pretty spectacular and tender octopus dishes outside of sushi and it’s one …
SADLY, ALDEA IS NOW CLOSED. Aldea es un nuevo restaurante fantastíco! El arroz de pato es absolutamente delicioso y creo que todo el mundo debería probarlo. Sólo desean que sus tamaños de las porciones fueron un poco más grande, pero George Mendes es un gran cocino. Aldea is a great new restaurant and if you …
SADLY, ALDEA IS NOW CLOSED. It’s fun to notice and follow food trends in New York City. And nowhere are the trends more noticeable than on Time Out’s Top 100 list. For instance, there are three fried chicken dishes, four egg dishes, and four items that contain sea urchin. I have already mentioned my very …
SADLY, CO. IS NOW CLOSED. About a year ago, the hip new pizza movement in New York City became evident when Jim Lahey opened a spare, homey pizza restaurant in Chelsea with lots of natural lighting. Lahey is first and foremost a baker and has been making delicious pizza-like concoctions at Sullivan Street Bakery for years. …
