If you ask just about any New Yorker what’s on their brunch bucket list, the name Balthazar will likely pop up. On any given weekend, the line is out the door. Even on a freezing Sunday like we just had, the wait was over an hour. This French bistro is as close to Paris as…

I hate when it takes me longer than anticipated to cross a restaurant off my list, especially when the restaurant proves to be just as wonderful as I had hoped. The pastries at Dominique Ansel Bakery look too beautiful to eat, but that would be a shame because they are some of the best baked…

I broke my toe last Wednesday. I wish I could say it was a Sandy casualty but, really, it was just me being stupid and clumsy. When I could no longer walk the mile and a half to work (remember, the subways were shut down), I took a cab…that promptly got into an accident. I…

Since it’s rare that I get to go to Savannah, I try to see all my friends from home whenever I’m there. That meant dinner and drinks with Danyse was a top priority. We decided to go to Circa 1875 for some French fare before heading to the bars. Circa is divided into the bar…

For her birthday, Lindsay wanted to cross a restaurant off her bucket list, which means I got to do the same. Chef Daniel Boulud is known for his ultra high end restaurants – the kind that I can’t even dream of going to til I get a new job in finance. However, his latest venture,…

This is the first 4th of July I have spent away from home. True, there are tourists in their usual touristy spots (my trip to the Apple Store kinda made me want to poke my eyes out), but all the locals have vacated to the Hamptons. Since I’m not as posh as all that, I…

Time for the big day! We only had time for lunch and a little relaxation before time to get ready and be downstairs for pictures so my Daddy chose another famed New Orleans restaurant, Acme Oyster House, for lunch. Sure, I’d had some oysters on top of my fish on Friday night, but I hadn’t…

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…
