Food Adventuring Around NYC
ICONYC BREWING COMPANY IS NOW FOCAL BEER POINT CO. I didn’t realize exactly where I was going when I made my way to the tasting room of IcoNYC Brewing Company. It wasn’t until I stepped off the subway and started walking to the strange little mini-shopping plaza that I realized I was in my own …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City The craft beer world looks different than you might imagine. While there is some truth to the hipster brewer with a curlicue moustache, there are more women behind the bars at tap rooms and in the …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, MIKKELLER BREWING NYC IS NOW CLOSED. Just like the two opposing baseball teams, we will soon have two local breweries that have a competitive edge cut from the same place. The Mets and Yankees, no matter who you route for, are both New York through and …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, GRAND REPUBLIC COCKTAIL CLUB IS NOW CLOSED. So I cheat a little bit. My first Dish of the Week every year is usually a cocktail that I tasted on New Year’s Eve. So it’s technically …
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 …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… If you lived or hung out at coffee shops in Southeast Asia, you would most certainly be familiar with a Milo or a Milo Dinosaur. Kopitiam is NYC’s answer to those Malaysian coffee shops and they serve one of the more popular sweet drinks. Milo …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… The good news is this beer which I tasted earlier this year is back and available now at the brewery. The bad news is if you wait too long, you may miss it again. And you shouldn’t because Sleep Now in the Fire is …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… There were a lot of beers to choose from at the brand spanking new brewery at Citi Field. Mikkeller NYC has over 30 of their housemate beers on tap (and more brewed in other locations). So I really lucked out when I chose the cleverly …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… Some may know that coffee actually comes from a fruit similar to a cherry, but not many (at least in this country) have tasted that fruit. Well, the Colombian-focused Devoción gets you one step closer by turning the dried cherries into a sparkling beverage. …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… What intrigued me most about this inventive bitter aperitivo is not that it was blue, but that the blue color comes from all natural ingredients (herbs, flowers, etc.). Those ingredients are a close kept secret of the local producers behind Uncouth Vermouth and Atsby who collaborated to …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I think it’s interesting that the new cocktail bar Existing Conditions is known for cocktails made from experimental, scientific techniques like clarifying, fat washing, and acid-adjusting yet the one cocktail I’m writing about might be the simplest …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Over the last ten years or so, my food journeys have taken me to many neighborhoods all over the city. But one neighborhood that has never shown up in my tags until right now is the …
Come back on Wednesdays for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. In Locals Know, I explore a new city through the tours of Urban Adventures. There are many places in the world to do your own pub crawl, but one of the most interesting might just be Houston, Texas. Not only is everything …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Bars in New York often transport you to a different time and place. We have bars modeled after Japan in the 1920’s, Hawaii in the 40’s, and Cuba in the 1950’s. But Banzarbar takes you somewhere that I …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’ve tried Fifth Hammer’s Troublesome Jellyfish beer twice now. The first time it was handed to me by Chris Cuzme, the owner and brewer of Fifth Hammer. He instructed me to not wait too long to …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I’ve been telling the story of beer in Brooklyn for years now. On the Brewed in Brooklyn tour (which I’ve been leading since I became a tour guide almost eight years ago), we walk through East Williamsburg and talk about the beer history in places …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I don’t think most people realize just how extensive the local drink world is out there in the five boroughs. The craft beer scene is well publicized at this point and most people are not surprised to …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’m not sure it’s ever happened before that I started off drinking a beer thinking this is not for me, then became intrigued by it, and eventually ended up craving another two glasses. That was the …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I remember the first time I visited The Randolph. Back in 2011, it was a very under-the-radar spot in Nolita that was a cozy coffee bar during the day and a cocktail bar at night. It felt like someone’s living room and they were not …
