Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
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. We started by sharing a…
Read MoreI almost forgot to blog about a cute little bar we went to on Friday night after the comedy show and dinner! That would have been a little sad because it was a good little find. With Susan’s direction, we left the West Village and took the E to TriBeCa to check out Bubble Lounge.…

Saturday night, we headed to Yerba Buena for what was to be a wonderful dinner. I’ve been to Yerba Buena before, but I’ve never gone after the menu the way I did this weekend. We discovered the maitre d’ used to live in Savannah and soon became BEST friends. Our new buddy hooked us up with…

Yesterday was all about eating in Williamsburg. We started the afternoon by going to 3rd Ward‘s 3rd Annual Pig Out! celebration. 3rd Ward is an artist collective that offers classes and workspace and apparently some pretty awesome events. Check it out if you’re artsy…or if you just like fun, porky events. The team from the…
Read MoreI had a wild night on Friday night – very rare for me, which meant I woke up on Saturday morning remembering why I usually leave going out to Saturday nights. We were meeting friends in the East Village so we chose KGB Bar as a meeting spot after seeing it was a Critic’s Pick on…

Thankfully, I didn’t need to be drunk to enjoy the food. Since we had been there before, we knew the guacamole trio…

On Saturday night, Matt, Greg, Susan, Dave and I headed to the LES to celebrate Susan’s successful fundraising event for the Gulf Coast oil spill cleanup efforts. Susan put together a fabulous New Orleans themed event (think: bloody marys, hurricanes, king cake, Popeye’s, beads, and a great raffle) so a little afterparty was in order and…
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…

Dave knows how to keep me happy throughout my bday weekend – help me cross more restaurants off my list! I’m rarely in the UWS, but we had to run and errand and found ourselves hungry for lunch in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Since we were in the mood to explore, we decided to walk around…
Read MoreI kicked off my birthday weekend (it’s a big birthday – I deserve a whole weekend) by crossing a restaurant off my list. After hearing Susan talk/blog about Tamarind, the Indian restaurant was added to my ever lengthening list of must-trys. I don’t usually connect Indian fare with fine dining, but Tamarind takes Indian food…
