Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’m hoping 2022 is the year I start eating indoors again at hip new restaurants like As You Are. I came here recently to get a breakfast sandwich and a treat to go. But I looked …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… There’s nothing like a freshly fried hot donut. Now when you put a unique spin on it by making the dough out of gluten less mochi (rice cake), it gets even better. I’ve had this type of donut before but never as special as …
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 …
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 …

As much as I’d like to eat four donuts, the reality is I would hurt myself. We have to know our limitations. At Rider, they were kind enough to let me order …
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 …
