Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Anne and I were meeting up with some friends for a drink (or four) at Whiskey Town around 11/11:30, but we were both ready to head out early and wanted to get a drink under our belts at a calmer establishment first. I had been hearing great things about The Wren and knew I liked…

Saturday was another one of me and Podz’ “neighborhood days” where we pick a ‘hood and just walk around, checking out all of its unique spots. Today’s spotlight is Harlem, a neighborhood I’ve scarcely visited in all my five years in New York but one I am now obsessed with. Harlem is undergoing a second…

Johnny’s Bar is a tiny dive in the West Village that we stumbled into after brunch on Sunday. We walked in mostly as a way to escape the rain but then stayed for the laid back vibe. I feel like most spots in the West Vill are adorable little brunch places where you’re hoping to…

Strippers are so overdone. And kinda skeezy. That’s why, for Bridge’s bachelorette bash, we decided to hit up Lips for a drag show. It was hilarious, fun, and extra raunchy. I wanted to ask the “women” all sorts of questions regarding the makeup and wardrobe routine but I kept that all inside and just enjoyed…

Last Saturday was a Hoboken night. Steph and I needed some time to catch up, so while Gav surrounded himself with March Madness, we hit up The Turtle Club for dinner and drinks. The restaurant is new(ish) to Hoboken, but the mosaic floors have an old school flair that remind you an actual Turtle Club…

Matt’s birthday last weekend was an all-afternoon affair at Full Circle Bar, the skee-ball bar in Brooklyn. A fun day at the bar will always last longer if the bar comes with games, which means we stayed there for several hours. I now know that, like beer pong, skee-ball abilities are at their best at…

One of my brother’s best friends was in town last weekend, interviewing for fellowship programs. I was determined to make my brother proud and show him how amazing NYC can be so we filled the schedule with museums, restaurants, and [of course] bars. Between dinner and an apartment party on Saturday night, we went to…

Last weekend, Ashley introduced me to Destination Bar & Grille, an East Village hangout that will remain on my radar for their great happy hour. Not only are the drinks cheap, but the happy hour specials last until 8 PM every day of the week – yes, even Saturday. If that alone doesn’t get you…

I love my Upper East Side bar scene. It consists of dive bars and wine bars, which are my kinda watering holes. However, every once in a while it’s nice to do something different, which is why I’m glad JBird Cocktails opened on Thursday night. As an opening night special, they offered two-for-one drinks, a…

Last night, a couple different groups of media folk got together with one of our reps to celebrate the Chinese New Year. No, it’s not one of the major American holidays, but I think it’s a great excuse for a fun and different celebration. Our rep is Chinese and has lived his whole life in…
