Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Date nights don’t have to be on weekends. On Wednesday Albert asked if I wanted to hang out and even had the idea to grab a quick bite and go to a fun indie flick downtown. It was so different from a typical Wednesday and embodied everything I love about this city. We saw the…

Some say Red Hook Lobster Pound is the best in the biz. I’m sure they crank out a great lobster roll, but I wouldn’t know because I ordered a shrimp roll instead. Lobster rolls are great, but they are dang expensive. For only $10 (instead of $16) you can get a shrimp roll instead. To…

I previously wrote how I liked Dig Inn because it is one of the few places you can get takeout for a full, well-balanced meal – protein + sides. Well call me a fickle lover because I’ve found something I like WAY better. Here’s the thing: Dig Inn is healthy, which is great. But sometimes…

Flatiron has always been an area worth visiting. You can do some shopping at places like Anthropologie, chill in Madison Square Park, or enjoy the wonder that is Eataly. But when it comes to bars, there are only a few to choose from. Most of the bars in that ‘hood are really just restaurants that…

I like any vendor who has the word “party” in their name. Just saying the word party (or more accurately “partaaay”) makes me want to start dancing. Brooklyn Oyster Party was a new vendor at Madison Square Eats and the one that received the majority of Albert’s attention. Getting a half dozen oysters on ice…

I had some great ideas about how I would spend the Derby on Saturday. I planned to gather all my fabulous friends, we’d wear fabulously dapper outfits, and we would have a fabulous party at a bar. Unfortunately, pretty much all my friends were busy and/or out of town so the fabulous-ness was put on…
