Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
After today, no work til Tuesday! I only have one set activity for the long weekend: FOOTBALL. I can’t wait to hang out with my fellow NYC Dawgs as we cheer on UGA at our brand new bar. FYI, the background pic for today’s “3 on Thursday” is the ceiling treatment at the Gramercy Park…

The name sounds so rock and roll but it’s fitting because this sandwich shop serves braised meat with an attitude. Mayhem and Stout started as a stall at NYC flea markets and just opened their first brick and mortar location on Friday – a convenient one block walk from my apartment. Since it’s so close…

Whether you’re on the East Side or West Side, Rare has a rooftop for you. The music may have been a little loud for 5 PM on a Thursday afternoon, but I suppose people are ready to party when the end of the work week is near and the weather is beautiful. The view at…
