Penelope stands out in Murray Hill as the one adorable brunch place. It’s a cutesy cafe with rustic windows serving simple but comforting foods like grilled cheese, the BLT, and salads. Unfortunately, since it’s the only restaurant of this category in the neighborhood, the line is always ridiculous. In no mood to wait for an…

Breckinridge Brewery
My brother has the ability to sniff out a brewery the moment he steps into a new city. On our first night in Breckinridge, we happily yielded to his preference and had dinner and a couple of brewskies at Breckinridge Brewery. While my brother lived their double IPA, I was a big fan of the…

Pounds & Ounces
I need to remember how many great restaurants are in Chelsea. Lindsay gets credit for finding my most recent Chelsea spot, Pounds & Ounces. Once I got past the overly heavy front doors (I recommend lifting weights before holding them open for anyone), the first thing to catch my eye was the long, curved table…

Watershed
I had planned a trip to Georgia for the Ole Miss game and some hanging out with my Atlanta friends, but I was worried that I wouldn’t make it out due to Hurricane Sandy. I was worried about getting to the airport so I left about four hours before my flight. Because the city was…

The Spotted Pig
Finally finally finally I got to try The Spotted Pig. Like all little sisters, I live to impress my brother and the best way I see fit to do so is by choosing a stellar restaurant. When he not-so-subtly hinted that he wanted to go to a gastropub, I thought this might be our chance…

Dangerously Delicious
I’m much prefer pie over cake, and I don’t discriminate when it comes to meat vs. sweet, which is why I was thrilled to discover Dangerously Delicious on a night out in DC this weekend. It’s open until 3:30 AM, making it the perfect place to fuel up late night before going dancing at Rock…

Cask
Cask was the first “cool” place I spotted in my new neighborhood, and I’ve been dying to try it ever since I moved in. It seemed like a more sophisticated post-work watering hole so Podz and I took our sophisticated selves there post-work on Wednesday night. I had tried once before to eat there, but…

The Cannibal
The Cannibal makes it easy to enjoy beer. If a place claims to know beer, you hope they’re not serving Bud Light. Here, the entryway is lined with refrigerators that hold all kinds of beers you’ve never heard of. These are the kind of beers with funky labels and names. Next, you don’t want froo froo…

Aunt Carrie’s Clam Cakes
Because laying on the beach wasn’t relaxing enough, we spent our last afternoon in Rhode Island just driving around looking at typical New England streets. We had zero plans and just went wherever the sights seemed worthy. For me, worthiness is often related to food, so I wanted to make sure we tried some authentic…
