Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I met Susan for lunch today so we could discuss the baby shower we’re planning for Jen. Of course, most people don’t take random Thursdays off like me, so I met her in TriBeCa near her office. Since I am completely unfamiliar with the area, I had her pick the place and she chose the…

It is nearly impossible for me to stay away from Athens for an entire football season, so I planned a trip to GA for Homecoming. I was also way past due for a visit with my Atl buddies so I headed down on Thursday night for a little quality time with Patricia and Miesh. Since…

Earlier this week I headed to Quality Meats with some co-workers for a huge, filling steak dinner. Quality Meats has all the normal steakhouse offerings but in much hipper digs than the traditional Palm or Del Friscos. The food was great, so let’s jump right in: We were greeted with an amuse bouche of roasted…

Want a party? Go to Bagatelle for brunch. Believe me, you need to be briefed beforehand so you know what you’re getting into. We arrived at 1:30 on Saturday to celebrate Steph’s bday, and I saw a few disbelievers in the group. I think they were just surprised to see so many sequined dresses in…

Last night, I headed down to Meatpacking with some co-workers to check out the Standard Grill. You may have heard the best part of The Standard is the scandalous view into the non-curtained hotel rooms – use your imagination. But I’m here to tell you, the food’s not bad, either.

Read MoreAs the last hoorah of my b-day celebration, I took yesterday off to celebrate it like the holiday it is. It was a perfect day: I caught up on my DVR’d shows, read/people-watched in the park, and enjoyed a burger. Burger spot brgr opened their 2nd outpost this weekend, and it is conveniently located around…
Read MoreI’m a little late in reporting this one, but I could not forget about it altogether because my dinner at One if by Land, Two if by Sea was truly unforgettable. Make sure you’ve got deep pockets for this one because it will set you back a small mortgage, but it was delicious. We were…
Read MoreI have a very good reason for not blogging recently: my parents were in town!!! Not sure if you know this, but my parents are incredibly cool, so when they’re here, they receive every ounce of my attention. We pretty much did everything there was to do, so let me start at the beginning. Friday…

Last night was another great dining experience with coworkers. It was a Thursday night, and we were 4 hot mamas, so the only logical dinner location was Meatpacking. Didn’t you know? I’m one of the beautiful people. We went wild on the menu: Appetizers: Tuna Tartar Tacos Hamachi Sashimi (Pictured below, top row, far right):…
Read MoreHow fast can I eat a burger? My speed will astonish and amaze you. If I am hungry and the burger is good, I am a BEAST. I’m pretty sure I inhaled my Burger Joint masterpiece in less than 2 minutes. Walk into one of the swankiest hotels in New York and the last thing you’d expect…
