Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
One restaurant that Lindsay and I both had on our list was Northern Spy Food Co. For a menu full of local and seasonal ingredients, you would think the prices would be steep, but everything is about $15. Everyone has been saying they have a killer brunch; and if everyone is saying it, it must…

I had no idea how vegetarians survived until eating here. Westville is not a vegetarian restaurant, but the long list of daily market sides is the best thing about this place. Everything is so simple and fresh, and that is enough to draw long lines for this no-reservations spot. Karina and I both started with…

Soho Park, on the corner of Prince and Lafayette, is the closest thing to a relaxing beer garden that you can get in the busy Soho area. Though it might be a madhouse around Balthazar and topshop, it’s nice and chill in this gazebo. Most everything is under $10 and the portions are sizable. I…

Our latest family dinner was Amy’s pick and I was a little worried for my wallet when she picked Mercer Kitchen. Nevertheless, I was excited to have an excuse to visit such a swanky place and even more excited that our usual crew expanded for the evening to accommodate our cousins who were passing through…

Since Jen will soon be moving to Atlanta (I almost cried just writing that), we’re trying to squeeze in as many New York moments as possible. The first thing we wanted to do was hit up a true scene – girls only. Catch is the latest and greatest restaurant to heat up Meatpacking which means…

My lace cookies, and although they’re my favorite cookie (when made properly), Matt and Jen’s coconut chocolate thing was…

I was heading to the Hamptons early Saturday morning (rough life) so I spent Friday night at home, eating takeout while watching my latest Netflix (a cheesy chick flick – don’t ask). I decided to order from Bareburger, a fancypants burger place that has recently sprung up in a few locations around the city, one…

I have been to Atlantic Grill often, but I have never been to its big brother, Blue Water Grill, in Union Square. The menus are similar and by that I mean they both serve no nonsense fish; however, Blue Water Grill is in a far more grandiose space that I now know is an old…

Bridget’s bachelorette party was a raucous weekend-long affair, but Saturday was the big night. We started the evening with dinner at Essex, which is the perfect restaurant for groups. I’ve heard as much since I moved here but never got to experience it firsthand until now. I always thought it was the place for party…
