Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Normally, I try to be mindful of eating too many carbs. A sandwich is one thing, but double or triple carbs in one meal is only reserved for special occasions. But when the weather gets as …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Ah, the power of persuasion. I remember laughing hysterically during the film Sideways when Paul Giammati’s character exclaimed he smelled asparagus in the wine. The pretension and specificity was absurd. Of course, I stopped laughing when one day at a pre-shift meeting at The Modern, …
Now that I’ve eaten my way through somebody else’s list (Time Out New York), I’m ready to compile my own 100 spectacular things I’ve tasted in 2012. Look for another five dishes every few days. SADLY, MEHTAPHOR IS NOW CLOSED. NUMBER 20: HAZELNUT SOUFFLE at MEHTAPHOR Just in time for the biggest consumer holiday of them …
For the third year in a row, I’m going to attempt to eat every single item on Time Out New York’s annual 100 Best Dishes list. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Let the gluttony continue… You’d think the best time to visit a place called Nights and Weekends would be …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. I think it’s safe to say Paulie Gee is the new Genaro Lombardi. If you know anything about NY pizza history, you know pizza pioneer Lombardi is responsible for the careers and subsequent openings of the pizzaioli behind Patsy’s, Totonno’s, and John’s. The relatively new …
For the third year in a row, I’m going to attempt to eat every single item on Time Out New York’s annual 100 Best Dishes list. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Let the gluttony continue… We started the new Time Out list right where we left off. It’s like the …

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. This year the end of the list came …

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. …
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or a sewer hole), you know that one of the latest fads in the food world is selling food from a truck. New York has always had a history of street food vendors – in fact I give a tour about it with the company Urban Oyster (shameless …
Paulie Gee is the man. Seriously. Paul Gianonne worked as an engineer but had a passion for pizza and dreamed of opening his own pizzeria one day. He became a presence on the NY pizza blogs and started inviting the pizza community over to his house in Jersey to try his homemade pizza. Brilliant idea. …
If you’ve ever heard the term, “A kick in the kishke,” you know it’s probably painful regardless of if you know what the word kishke actually means. And if you’ve ever actually been kicked in the kishkes, I am sorry for you. I hate to make these connections, but kishke means guts. And that’s basically …
Kombucha is a fermented tea that is purported to aid in digestion, detoxing, and hipsterness. It’s one of the latest health crazes in the urban areas of this country. I’ve been drinking it for a while in bottle form from my local health food store. The intense effervescence takes a while to get used to, …
