I am so angry with myself for not taking pictures of my lunch at Danji last week. I wish you were able to see the delicious bowl of Korean comfort food I wolfed down in a matter of minutes. On Wednesday, my team at work decided we wanted to go to lunch and we were…

Andre’s Café
The UES has always been the place to go for Hungarian food…though unless you’re Hungarian, you probably don’t know what Hungarian food is, much less crave it. There used to be a ton of Hungarians in the 80s on the East side, but it seems like they’re spreading out. I think most of them are…

Waldy’s Pizza
I can only hope that when I am old enough to have a 6-year-old child that I am still cool enough to party til 2:40 AM like the people I babysat for last night. My sister-in-law’s cousins came to NYC with their daughter to see LCD Soundsystem’s farewell concert. While they were partying it up…

Tres Traif
About a week and a half ago I went to Williamsburg for Sunday brunch with Matt and Jen. I knew I had to get in some quality time before the baby popped out (which she since has, that adorable little wad of cuteness). They texted me four options and I chose Traif since it had…

On Saturday night, I met Matt and a few other friends at Von for a few drinks. I’ve stopped in this bar once before for an intimate drink, in the all wood surroundings (wood floors, wood tables, wood benches, wood, wood, wood) and enjoyed myself. I got a hint of that this weekend and then it…

Monday night I had a wonderful meal at Scarpetta…all 5 courses and 19 dishes of it. Chef Scott Conant – known for his chef-y awards, his appearances on Food Network, and his cutie patootie looks – picked some of his favorites from the menu and prepared us a crazy-good meal. I know it was good because…

On Saturday evening, Podz texted me that she just discovered an Ethiopian restaurant in her neighborhood. We had just been talking about how we love Ethiopian food but there are only two restaurants in NYC. Scratch that; apparently there are three. I said we should definitely check it out sometime. Wait a minute – sometime?…

Last night was time to celebrate Greg’s 29th birthday with dinner and some bar fun. A few of us met at Macondo for dinner before meeting the rest of the crew at the bar. I’ve heard Macondo has a great drunk brunch so I still plan on returning for that, but dinner was a good…

Last Saturday we celebrated Matt’s birthday at Ninth Ward. I was impressed for two reasons: I really like the bar – great crowd Jen, who’s been going to sleep around 9:30 due to the fact that she’s popping out a baby in just over 5 weeks, managed to stay up super late This New Orleans…

Sammy’s Roumanian
I’ve heard of Sammy’s Roumanian, but I finally got to experience it last week. Wowzas. Growing up in Savannah, GA, I didn’t get to go to many bar mitzvahs, but I made up for it last Thursday. I’m not exaggerating. It’s a bar mitzvah for grown ups. Let me set the scene: Walk in the…
