Food Adventuring Around NYC
One of my go-to restaurants on the Upper West Side has always been the Greek restaurant Kefi.

Greeks know how to cook octopus and Chef Michael Psilakis at Fishtag is no expception.

My search for the best falafel in New York continues…. SADLY, SOOMSOOM IS NOW CLOSED. Over the last few years, a string of Israeli-style fast food joints have popped up all over the city, but especially in Midtown. These places are clean and modern and serve hearty vegetarian food (fried eggplant, hard boiled eggs with potato, …

My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Dive 75, which is part of the Dive Bars, a group of three bars in upper Manhattan, is really not a dive bar at all. The dark atmosphere, free candy bars, and Bud Light on tap is not enough to justify the dive moniker. This …
