Food Adventuring Around NYC
SADLY, LUCKY PICKLE DUMPLING CO. IS NOW CLOSED. The craziest dish right now in the NY food world is a helping of pickle flavored ice cream from a dumpling spot on the Upper East Side that is part of a trio of restaurants with pickle in their name. I didn’t care for their dumplings (review to …

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, BUTTER & SCOTCH IS NOW CLOSED. Butter & Scotch is a very unique place.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I haven’t had too many crullers in my day but I was pretty convinced I found the best I would ever taste at a cute little coffee shop called Lil’s Cafe in Kittery, Maine. It was …
What’s not to love about Paris? It’s grand, romantic, and incredibly delicious. While you got to come here and get views of the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, you also want to get in to some of the hips neighborhood where locals hang out and that’s what I did on the Gourmet Marais tour. On …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… SADLY, DALY PIE IS NOW CLOSED. By now we’ve all had salted caramel desserts, but salted lime desserts are not as common.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Every year for the second to last Dish of the Week I go searching and scouring (read: eating) at the local bakeries for some seasonal holiday-themed treat.

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… There are so many ice cream trends in this city. Shaved snow, Thai rolled ice cream, ice cream cooked into a brioche. We have it all. Including the Hong Kong-style egg waffle which is more than just a pretty face. The cold ice cream (I …
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 …
It’s the holiday season, which means most of the local bakeries and dessert spots roll out holiday-themed specials. Thankfully we’ve moved on from the pumpkin spice everything and now you’ll see egg nog cookies, peppermint ice cream, and gingerbread cakes. Some bakeries also give a nod to Hanukkah. One of the traditional treats for the Festival of Lights …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… SADLY, CAFFÉ & GELATO IS NOW CLOSED. I have yet to do my official search for the city’s best cannoli (one day – just you wait) but I think I may have already found them. And they are not from any of the bakeries that make …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… SADLY, JOY LUCK PALACE IS NOW CLOSED. Perhaps I fell for the cute, Instagram-friendly shape of these custard buns, but they were really my favorite thing at the dim sum meal I had at Joy Luck Palace. They are stuffed with a not-too-sweet egg …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… Dessert is not always on the agenda for me at Indian restaurants, but maybe I should be a bit more open-minded. I’ve tried a few pastries and Indian sweets, but nothing has knocked my socks off like the makhan malai at Indian Accent. This ball …
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 My least favorite time to go food shopping are the days leading up to the holidays – most notably the week of Thanksgiving.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I meet a lot of Australians – probably more than most Americans.

My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. Fish ice cream sounds pretty weird and potentially disgusting to most. I would be one of the crazy people who would actually try it. In fact, I’ve already consumed lobster ice cream up in Maine. It was indeed weird. But that’s another sotyr. …
My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. I want to say I would never spend $7 on a cup of ice cream. But I would be lying if I said that because I did spend that ridiculous amount of money on a single serving of ice cream. When I walked …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… 2016 was a tough year. From a whirlwind political circus to the loss of many beloved celebrities to worldwide tragedies, the news was full of sad things. But there was still joy out there and as usual, I found a lot of that joy through food. …
