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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Sons of Thunder
I am a little miffed that half the menu at Sons of Thunder is not yet available. I don’t think they should have opened if they weren’t ready to be full service. The Burgers, Chicken, and Fries sections of the menu are all listed as “coming soon.” But I can’t let that taint my thoughts…

Zabb Elee
Leave it to us to go to Queens for a restaurant that’s right in our Manhattan backyard. Zabb Elee might be just a random East Village Thai spot, but it’s one that people became obsessed with. Not obsessed in the long line inducing way, but obsessed enough that they just opened a second location in…

Okko
I am generally wary of Asian restaurants that have food from all around the continent. They might be in the same general area of the world, but Japan and Thailand or two very different countries that highlight very different flavors in their cooking. Beyond the prevalence of rice, these are totally different cuisines, people. Despite…

Ramen Burger
The ramen burger debuted at Smorgasburg two years ago and was a HIT. I didn’t even attempt to get one because I never felt like waiting an hour in the August heat, fighting off a bad case of boob sweat. But now that there are more Smorgasburg locations and the hysteria has subsided, it’s not so tough…
