Food Adventuring Around NYC
It takes a lot for me to write about two dishes from the same restaurant two weeks in a row. It hasn’t happened since 2022 when I gushed over Gage & Tollner. And now Tatiana absolutely deserves at least two of their dishes being highlighted on these pages. In truth, I could probably keep going …
How did we possibly end up with reservations at Tatiana on the one date night we’ve had in months? It was just meant to be, I guess. I had placed a notification on Resy for Tatiana never thinking we would actually get a reservation. I just thought if we had an evening free, I should …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Last week I wrote about all the amazing exotic fruits I tried on my recent trip to Costa Rica. But, of course, that is not all I ate. Most of my favorite meals were at local …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City So somehow my birthday was as close to normal as possible this year. It wasn’t as relaxed as those whose birthdays are in January or February (before COVID turned life on its head), but it could have …
When I was a kid, I used to write about movies obsessively. Taking a cue from Siskel & Ebert, I would count down my favorite movies of each year and then when the 1990’s ended, I made a list for the decade. If I had enough movie knowledge, I probably should have made a list for …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City NYC Restaurant Week is something very few people in the local food world get excited about. It’s never mentioned on any of the major food sites, restaurant workers usually roll their eyes at a more frugal …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… Wow! Not only are we down another year, but we are putting an entire decade behind us. And now that we are well into the 21st Century, I have been eating my way around New York officially for 10 years. Whew! So perhaps I …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… It’s crazy that I lost my phone right after one of the best (and most expensive) meals of the year. Everything we ordered at Crown Shy is just a memory now and I have no photographic evidence to prove I ever ate it. You have …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City My photos have never been the best food photos on the internet. I can admit that. Hopefully they give a sense of what the food looks like and my brilliant prose more than makes up for …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018… You know it has to be good if a complimentary plate of bread and butter stands out from the crowd. This dense and chewy mound of barley and sourdough carbs is impossible to stop eating. At Agern in Grand Central Terminal, it’s served warm …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City When I was in high school, I was involved with a community theater that was right next door to a big supermarket. Oftentimes when we had a dinner break, I’d go next door and buy a …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Last week I wrote about my incredible birthday lunch at a secret sushi bar. This week, I want to write about what I had for dinner. I know, I’m one lucky guy! For dinner, I finally got to …
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 …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City A special occasion birthday dinner brought me to the new NYC location of a critically acclaimed Indian restaurant from New Delhi. It was among the inventive $75 prix fixe dinner that I discovered this week’s Dish …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Gabriel Kreuther is a pretty well-known name in the groups I run in. First off, he is an established and highly praised Alasatian chef in the New York food world (Michelin stars and everything). And secondly, …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City It’s hard for me to do what I’m about to do, but it must be done. I have never selected a dish of the week that was not consumed in New York City. It goes against my entire …
Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. Because I am not part of the 1%, I don’t get to eat at too many fancy restaurants. But a few times a year, I get lucky (either from a big bonus check or a special event). Earlier this year in …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City My birthday, as it does every year, just came around. And while it means I get another year older, it also means I get to have a blow out meal and hit one of the high-end restaurants …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, BÂTARD IS NOW CLOSED. Going into the James Beard nominated Bâtard, there were two dishes I knew I had to get. This fancy (but approachable) new restaurant in the old Corton space in Tribeca has …
