Food Adventuring Around NYC
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. It’s so cool is how tight-knit the local craft beer world is in New York. Most times when I see a unique can being sold, it’s actually a collaboration between breweries. Oftentimes it’s a brewery in Queens and the Bronx coming together, but for Taco Wednesday …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, RIDER IS NOW CLOSED. As much as I’d like to eat four donuts, the reality is I would hurt myself. We have to know our limitations. At Rider, they were kind enough to let me order …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Although it may sound strange to American tastes, buttery miso makes a very smart base for ice cream – especially when studded with sweet and slightly acidic cherry pieces. After tasting this, the concept of cherry vanilla becomes irrelevant. How come more people aren’t demanding …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Egg sandwiches are so ubiquitous in New York that I probably should devote an entire journey to searching for the best of them. Each year I discover a new often hipster place upgrading our typical breakfast sandwich. This one is a juice and coffee …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… It doesn’t get trendier than avocado toast. It’s as simple as can be – smashed avocado maybe toasted with some lemon and chili flakes and placed on a thick piece of toast. No wonder it’s such a brunch sensation. Gotan adds a little salty feta, bright …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City The Vendy Awards is my favorite day of the year.

My search for the best hot dog in New York continues…. Smorgasburg completely overwhelms me. I often stop by at the weekly Brooklyn food festival for a quick cheap bite before one of my tours. But it’s never quick and never cheap. It takes me a long time to navigate the crowds and find something interesting …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, NAM NAM IS NOW CLOSED. Nam Nam in Williamsburg doesn’t really feel like a restaurant. There is pretty much zero atmosphere, unless you count the bare bones kitchen with some makeshift places to sit. It’s …
My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. We are in the midst of a very experimental time in ice cream. And I, for one, couldn’t be happier. I’ve always thought ice cream was one of the most diverse dishes in existence. If you can think of a flavor, odds are …

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… Mable’s is one of the older of the new movement barbecue joints in the city, but I just got there for the first time this year. The owners hail from Oklahoma and although the smoking technique most closely resembles Texas-style, there are a few …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… Pasta seems so simple, but when you get a perfectly composed plate (no matter how small), you realize you can’t underestimate the difficulty in execution. Meadowsweet has proven they are a serious neighborhood restaurant with excellent food this year. Their homemade pastas rotate seasonally, …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015… Mast Brothers are constantly re-inventing ways to fully taste the deep, rich notes of chocolate beans. Last year, I was taken by their cold brewed chocolate (treated like coffee) and this year they debuted coffee beer. Now this isn’t a dark stout or ale with …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Last week, I sang the praises of the burger from one of New York’s newest modern steakhouses.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City One of the most beautiful yet maddening things about many seasonal American restaurants is that their menus change constantly. Sometimes a new menu is printed up every day. I went into Meadowsweet hoping to try their …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, THE GORBALS IS NOW CLOSED.
