Food Adventuring Around NYC
I really feel like I stumbled on a little gem of a bar in an area that’s sort of in between neighborhoods. I was trying to pass some time one early evening and I was looking for a craft beer bar to taste a local brew between Soho and the Lower East Side. Thanks to …
I’ve devoured Time Out’s 100 Best dishes and now, once again, I’ve been inspired to create my own list. These are the 100 dishes I have continued to think about since tasting them at some point in 2011. Look for another five dishes every few days. These are in no particular order. 20. PICADITAS DE …

My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, SPITZER’S CORNER IS NOW CLOSED. I should probably be up front about this. I’ve never been a big drinker. It doesn’t take much more than two or three drinks to knock me out. So when I go out for dinner or cocktails, I usually just …
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 was not expecting any of Time Out’s …
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. When I tell people I’m searching for the best bagels in New York, some people wonder how I stay so slim, others try to direct me to Montreal, but the truest New Yorkers ask if I’m going to include bialys on my search. And it’s …

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, FRIED DUMPLINGS IS NOW CLOSED. When a restaurant names themselves after a specific menu item, it had better be good. I don’t know any pizzeria that touts the name: “Pepperoni Pizza” or “Margherita Pizza”. To name yourself after one dish almost alienates everything else on your menu. I don’t think I would ever order a …
I’ve always known that some of the big chain restaurants adjust their prices based on location. A sandwich at TGI Friday’s in Times Square is going to cost considerably more than it would at a location in Nebraska. And although I’ve never been to Nebraska, I’m guessing the prices are cheaper there than on Broadway. …
The future of ice cream involves liquid nitrogen and choosing your own base and mix-in’s. Just like everything else, it’s all about choices and technology. And soon enough, I’m sure we’ll all be ordering our customized ice cream cone from our Iphones. There was a little shop called Lulu & Mooky’s in the Lower East …
The future of ice cream seems to have ended. Or just needs a publicist. Lulu & Mooky’s has always been an intriguing concept. It’s a little shop on the Lower East Side that makes liquid nitrogen ice cream. You pick your flavor and they freeze it for you on the spot with lots of smoke …
SADLY, GUERILLA ICE CREAM IS NOW CLOSED. Everybody’s gotta have a gimmick, right? It’s certainly true when it comes to ice cream. Sure, you could make simple flavors and hark back to the old ice cream shops of the 5o’s. But isn’t it fun when you flamboyantly dress up your Mr. Softee truck (Big Gay Ice …
SADLY, SAMMY’S ROUMANIAN STEAK HOUSE IS NOW CLOSED. Oy vey! Chopped liver! I’ve never been a fan of liver. I remember (as every good Jewish boy does) growing up having chopped liver out on the table with the veggies and potato chips at a family gathering. Now ours was most likely store bought (sorry Mom!) and …
