Food Adventuring Around NYC
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. I’m truly amazed at how many critics and …
Every borough has its own pizza culture. Some (Brooklyn) more prominent and noteworthy than others (the Bronx). And while it may get overlooked very often, Staten Island gives Manhattan and Brooklyn a run for its money when it comes to pizza offerings. One highly regarded pizzeria out on Staten Island that I never made it …
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. …

SADLY, DONATELLA IS NOW CLOSED. I’ve written about Pizza Club quite a few times on this blog. And if you’ve been paying attention you know that Jason Feirman (of I Dream of Pizza) is the guy who organizes the monthly event. Well, in November I was very excited to try out a new spot that I …

SADLY, A VOCE IS NOW CLOSED. The Uptown incarnation of A Voce opened late last year to lots of fanfare and good reviews. Since then, its buzz has seemed to fizzle and simmer. You don’t hear much about it anymore, sitting up there in the Time Warner Building with its beautiful views of Central Park. But …
I think I can live in this city forever and still discover new nooks, crannies, and hidden neighborhoods in the sky. Tudor City is exactly that. I came to Convivio last year (when I was attempting to consume all of TONY’s 2008 list items) and was amazed to discover this three block stretch of beautiful …
Food should do a lot more than just taste good. Sure, I think that’s the most important part, but chefs should remember some other important things. Food should be nutritious. I’m not saying everything should be healthy but you want some nutrient or energy provider in there (pizza even features most of the 5 food …
It’s nice to return somewhere from last year’s list to get a new list item. Last year I had an amazing duck and foie gras ravioli at Scarpetta thanks to Time Out. And I’m hoping their entry this year, the Tagliolini will be just as mind-blowing. We sat at the bar and were given good …
The number one item on last year’s Time Out list was the porchetta sandwich at Porchetta. And it was well-deserving. Porchetta is a hole-in-the-wall spot that serves delicious pork sandwiches in the East Village. The word porchetta refers to an Italian boneless pork roast. At Porchetta, they use the loin, the belly, and lots of …
