ONE TAL OF A BAGEL (Tal Bagels)
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. The cream cheese from bagel shop to bagel shop is practically identical with a few slight variations – which can really affect a bagel experience. For instance, the toppings that are mixed-in are usually unique from store to store and can really make for some …
YES, A BAGEL! (Ess-A-Bagel)
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. The argument over the best bagels in New York is a much heated debate – just like pizza, pastrami, and dumplings. But more than any of those foods, most people’s favorite bagel happens to be the shop closest to them. I think that’s true for …
IT’S NOT THE SIZE THAT COUNTS (Hot Jumbo Bagels)
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. Back in the early to mid 1900’s, bagels in New York were all made by one union: the Bagel Bakers Local 331. And their bagels were small and dense weighing in at a mere 3 ounces. To put things in perspective, the average New York …
#21 – JIDORI KARAAGE (FRIED CHICKEN) at SOBA TOTTO
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. When the fried chicken trend crosses over into …
NATIONAL PASTRAMI DAY (Berger’s on the Go)
It’s amazing how many great people I’ve met since I started this blog a little over a year ago. I have some wonderful followers who comment and interact with me on twitter. And I’ve also met fellow bloggers and food fanatics who’ve seen my videos. I was welcomed into the underground pizza world by Jason, …
TRUCKIN’ GOOD PIZZA (Jiannetto’s Pizza Truck)
Believe me, I have no problem eating from food carts or trucks. In fact, as many of you know, I give a tour of food carts twice a week with a company called Urban Oyster. So I know the in’s and out’s of how they are regulated and I know they’re just as clean as …
40 – 36: Which SANDWICHES
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. …
45 – 41: A TASTE of Old New York

#92 – PECORINO POTATOES at CONVIVIO
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 …
We’re Not in Naples Anymore
SADLY, NAPLES 45 IS NOW CLOSED. If you’re going to announce your authenticity to the world then you better have the authentic product to back it up. And I want what I pay for. If I go to a Journey concert, I want to see Steve Perry, not some second-rate stand-in. And if I go to …
