Food Adventuring Around NYC
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Fried calamari usually conjures images of heavily breaded tentacles with a chewy sometimes rubber texture. Not so at Rasa, which specializes in Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine. The crispy squid appetizer is sweet and spicy, slicked with a smabal chili sauce. But the squid is …

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City When I finally dined at Rasa, I was hoping to find a dish that would make its way to these pages, but I didn’t think beef rendang would be it. Rendang is one of the more common …
My search for the best pickles in New York continues…. Even if you’ve never stopped there, odds are if you are a New Yorker you are familiar with the pickle stand right outside the West 4th Street subway station. In many ways, it’s in the center of the Village – just steps from the iconic …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, KIIN THAI EATERY IS NOW CLOSED. I have walked by Kiin in Greenwich Village so many times and have always written it off as an extension of some NYU cafeteria. I say that in jest, of …
SADLY, TURKISS IS NOW CLOSED. When one falafel joint closes, another opens. It doesn’t always work that way, but it almost always does in and around Bleecker Street in the West Village. Yatagan sat on Macdougal Street for years churning out doner kababs and falafel. I never made it to Yatagan, but now that it’s …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York CityEast of Sixth Avenue, Bleecker Street is where restaurants go to die. With the abundance of college students and tourists coming through here, you’d think this stretch of Greenwich Village would be prime real estate to open …
My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Some people (like my friend Jason and myself) dream of eating pizza, while others dream of owning a pizzeria. That was the case for firefighter Mike Fiore. Sadly, Mike did not live to see the opening of Fiore’s. He was one of the brave men …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City There is such a thing as a cursed space in New York.

For the fourth year in a row, I present the 100 most exciting dishes I’ve consumed during my food adventures around the five boroughs. Look for another five dishes every few days.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, NETA IS NOW CLOSED. As soon as we sat down at Neta, we were disappointed. This reservation was weeks in the making and it was mostly so we could try the much buzzed about uni risotto. …
My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. SADLY, OTTO IS NOW CLOSED. The well-regarded (and always crowded) Otto used to be one of my favorite date spots. But I didn’t bring the girls here to woo them with Mario Batali’s pizza or pastas. Or to hob nob with the after work …
