The perfect date night that’s been right in front of your face all along Continue reading
The PokeSpot
I have FULLY bought into the current poke craze. I love that you can basically get sushi at a fraction of the price. As long as the quality remains high, I’m never giving up on this trend. I am pretty loyal to my local spot, Sons of Thunder. First, it’s literally around the corner from … Continue reading
Momosan
In a true first, my neighborhood has a restaurant that doesn’t take reservations, resulting in a line of cool people awaiting a table. That’s usually what happens in the hip downtown areas of Manhattan. But now that Momosan Ramen has opened, there are hoards of youngsters waiting to get a bowl of noodles. Look at Murray Hill gettin all … Continue reading
Hai Street Kitchen
Sushirittos (a burrito made of sushi with seaweed instead of a tortilla) are an official craze. It started in San Fran and pretty much hit every big city outside of NYC…until now. There are finally a few places to get these sushi burritos, one of which is conveniently (for me) located in UrbanSpace Vanderbilt. Hai … Continue reading
Sushi Choshi
When it comes to neighborhood sushi spots, you tend to stick to places that are in, you know, your own neighborhood. Sushi Choshi is just a little too far south for it to be my regular spot, so I’ve always just passed by on my strolls around the beautiful Gramercy Park thinking “oh, that looks … Continue reading
Mimi Cheng’s Dumplings
Mimi Cheng’s had been instagrammed often, which means I’m bombarded with delicious looking dumplings every time I scroll through my feed. And I am a sucker for delicious looking dumplings. Who isn’t? What Mimi Cheng’s manages to do really well is serve both the old and new schools. When the Cheng sisters opened the small … Continue reading
Chote Nawab
My beau had a guys night last night so that meant I had the apartment to myself – free to watch Downton Abbey and order Indian food – yippee! I wanted to try a new place from my “Curry Hill” neighborhood so I went with Chote Nawab because it had some solid Seamless reviews. I tend to … Continue reading
Sushi Seki – Hell’s Kitchen
There is a small, low-key sushi spot on the Upper East called Sushi Seki. I stumbled upon it because it was the closest sushi restaurant to my apartment, but from my first meal there, I was in love. It flew under the radar, but the quality of the fish was so good (particularly for the … Continue reading
Flying Monk
Flying Monk (not The Flying Monkey, as I have been referring to it for the last year) is packed every time I pass by while strolling Broughton Street when I’m home. Ramen is the hot thing in NYC, but this restaurant serves noodle soups from all across Asia. Perhaps that makes it less authentic; it does … Continue reading
