Food Adventuring Around NYC
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Exectuive chefs come and go all the time at restaurants in this city. Even at places with an established and consistent reputation like The Harrison. The Tribeca restaurant is owned by Chef Jimmy Bradley, but over the …
My search for the best falafel in New York begins…. Judging by the exterior, I would never in a million years have guessed Nish Nush serves falafel. Okay, maybe if I really had a million years to guess, I would have come up with it eventually. I would hope so. But from the outside, this …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Paris and Japan meet cute at Takahachi Bakery. This corner shop in Tribeca is one of those places you could walk by dozens of times and somehow miss the delightful surprises inside.
Now that I’ve eaten my way through somebody else’s list (Time Out New York), I’m ready to compile my own 100 spectacular things I’ve tasted in 2012. Look for another five dishes every few days. SADLY, MEHTAPHOR IS NOW CLOSED. NUMBER 20: HAZELNUT SOUFFLE at MEHTAPHOR Just in time for the biggest consumer holiday of them …
Now that I’ve eaten my way through somebody else’s list (Time Out New York), I’m ready to compile my own 100 spectacular things I’ve tasted in 2012. Look for another five dishes every few days. NUMBER 70: BLACK CAT ESPRESSO COLD BREW at KAFFE 1668 I like the rich bitter flavors of chocolate, smoke, and …
SADLY, DA MIKELE BY LUZZO’S IS NOW CLOSED. Since I visited the modest, but well regarded Luzzo’s in the East Village a few years ago, they’ve been doing some serious expanding. In 2009, Little Luzzo’s opened on the Upper East Side, then Ovest followed a few years later on the far reaches of Chelsea, and …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. I don’t like to do what everybody else does. So when I go to a wine bar, I turn my nose up at all those Cabs and Syrahs and instead I ask, “What’s on tap?” That can now be a loaded question since many bars …
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 corned beef/pastrami in New York continues…. SADLY, KUTSHER’S TRIBECA IS NOW CLOSED. I’m not going to spend too much time reviewing the new restaurant Kutsher’s, which just opened a few weeks ago in Tribeca, for a number of reasons. First off, I’m really only including them on this blog because they …

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. You rarely see the word mutton on menus …
My search for the best bagels in New York continues…. When I walked by Zucker’s Bagels one night a few months back, I thought I had made a huge discovery. Based on the exterior, this looked like a classic bagel shop, yet I had never heard of it. Could it be brand new? Upon doing …
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. …

This food adventure is getting expensive. Time Out likes to run the gamut. Some of their list items are a steal. The taro cakes were 75 cents a piece. Others, like the $26 Black Label Burger at Minetta Tavern, are definitely an investment. But none are so financially confusing as the Wakame Butter at Corton. …
I love being able to cross off two list items with only one meal. Locanda Verde is one of a few restaurants that received two spots on Time Out’s list. Last year, Momofuko was the only place to hold that distinction. And where are you this year, David Chang? I mostly enjoyed the meal at …
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 …
So this list keeps making me feel young again. First, fried chicken and now these little cookies known as snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles are basically sugar cookies that have been rolled in or sprinkled with cinnamon. They’re not my favorite cookie (give me chocolate chip over anything else), but how can the name snickerdoodle not bring you …
It’s the dream of every foodie to discover a secret unexploited gem. Something that people will be talking about and will push the business to the next level. Of course, that and to be a contestant on Supermarket Sweep. (Is that show even still on the air?) I want to announce to the world (wide …
