Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
After our messy street food, my parents and I decided to go a little more refined for dessert before I went back to work. A friend had told me about Ruby et Violette and I have been dying to try. I am so happy the three Mercer sisters decided to put their Ivy League educations…

I am a little behind in my reporting because I have been so busy with my parents, but now that it is Sunday evening, it’s time to play catch-up…all the way back to Thursday. My parents are fun and adventurous eaters, so when I met them for lunch on Thursday afternoon, it was no surprise…

Wednesday night seemed like a good time to try Hide-Chan Ramen, the pork broth restaurant I’ve been hearing so much about. I was excited to take my parents because this is definitely not the type of thing you can find in Savannah. I had heard about the grilled pork toro (pork cheek), so I knew…

After watching UGA lose to South Carolina yesterday afternoon, I needed something to perk my spirits up once again.

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…
