Food Adventuring Around NYC
Am I in a bagel shop or an ice cream shop? That is the question that came up recently at Bagel Pub. It smells and feels like bagels and at the end of the day, I’ll be walking out with a breakfast or lunch sandwich and not a cone. But the colorful display of cream …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I came to Pecking House, obviously, for the fried chicken. This hugely popular fried chicken business started during the pandemic as a pop-up out of Chef Eric Huang’s family’s restaurant in Queens. It gained a huge …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City For the last two years, it seemed like the parties (at least my type of party) were at Pasta Louise. All of my friends in the food world had spent evenings in their outdoor dining area relishing …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019… Sadly sometimes a restaurant closes before I get to write about their amazing food. That was sort of the case with Nargis Cafe and their signature dish. The Uzbeki restaurant still has their original location in Sheepshead Bay, but I tried it at their …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I saved this little treasure until now so that I could make it the final Dish of the Week of the year. Not only has it been surprisingly memorable since I put my mouth around it, …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… This year was another crazy ride. And while politics and breaking news stories often drifted into my anxious psyche, food still played an important role. And this year was full of surprising dishes that were nourishing, pleasurable, and a much-needed distraction. Here now are the …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… SADLY, GRISTMILL IS NOW CLOSED. Ignore the silly name for this brilliant concoction. It’s more brilliant than the complex pun makes it sound. But it’s more complex than the words smoked salmon slider implies. The Loxness Knotster is available at brunch and dinner and it is a perfect …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, GRISTMILL IS NOW CLOSED. One of the reasons I’m not much of a brunch guy is because it always seems to be the same dishes over and over again. Sure, you can stuff some interesting ingredients inside an omlette …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City This might be a controversial post. This might even bring about some angry comments. But I’m ready for that. I don’t think anyone will have issue with the drink I will be talking about, but some …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Wow, I have not put in a beer review in a long time. And that’s crazy because craft beer is more uniquitous to New York than ever before. There are now 27 breweries across all five boroughs and that number literally changes every week. One …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… How could a noodle dish be good without the noodles? Brilliantly, SkyIce (who are also known for their unique Thai ice creams) swaps out noodles for strips of papaya. They retain the same crunch and tenderness as the traditional noodles and with the rest …
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. Apologies to Lady Gaga, but meat sculptures were invented a long time ago. Maybe we didn’t wear them like the pop icon does, …
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. I have to give credit where credit is due. While there are now many publications that release a 100 Best list each year, …
It was no surprise that my hot dog search was littered with double entendres and childish snickers. And this post will be more of the same. Try to control yourself, if you can.
I had heard good things about SkyIce, but was still hesitant when I approached the store front. I was here for a scoop of ice cream to take back out onto the hot pavement’s of Park Slope. But the whiffs of savory pad thai and the tables of customers eating salads, confused me. Is this …
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… When I was little, my younger brother wanted to be just like me. I would …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. The day will come that if you walk in to any independently owned Brooklyn restaurant, you will find a beer brewed just for them by Sixpoint. In a span of a week, I was at two of Brooklyn’s hottest restaurants for a meal and …
My search for the best hot dogs in New York continues…. SADLY, BARK HOT DOGS IS NOW CLOSED. I’m slowly learning that the majority of the hot dogs in this city come from one company. You may have heard of the little known Sabrett. If you haven’t and you’ve walked around NYC, you need to open …

My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I’ve already proclaimed on this site that Kelso’s Pilsner is the best version of an American pilsner I have ever tasted. It was over a year ago and I was amazed at the complexity of this normally bland tasting beer. For reference, most of the …
