Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
You probably don’t need an excuse to go to Eataly; I certainly don’t. But just in case you haven’t been in a while and are looking for a reason to stop by, just know that they’ve been doing seasonal updates to their rooftop bar, La Birreria. I never made it to their Alpine lodge winter…

A boozy brunch felt like it was necessary, so Rebekah, Lindsay, and I hit up Crooked Knife (14th Street location, between 7th and 8th) for some mimosas and good convo over the weekend. There’s a mish mash of furniture at Crooked Knife. There are Victorian couches in the front, burlap covered banquettes in the back,…

Once again I have to say: I love NYC in the summer! Rosemary’s is always packed for brunch, but because all the trendy West Village brunchers skeedaddled to the Hamptons for the weekend, we were able to walk right in on Sunday. There was still a steady stream of people and nearly every table was…

Bubby’s is famous around NYC when it comes to brunch. I think that’s because for a long time it was the only cute place in the highly residential TriBeCa for a long time. More restaurants have entered the neighborhood, but Bubby’s remains a favorite thanks to it’s consistently good comfort food and amazing drinks. Let…

Everything I had read about Via Carota mentioned that they do things with vegetables that could make any meat lover reconsider their values. Don’t think of it as a vegetarian restaurant – there is plenty of meat and fish on the menu. It’s just that the vegetables are given true attention rather than serving as…

Flammekeuche, or tarte flambée, is a French dish that’s basically flatbread pizza with a cracker thin crust. It’s typical of the Alsace region and something I ate all the time when I lived in France but haven’t had since…until now. La Tarte Flambée is a cute little restaurant in my Murray Hill neighborhood. In the year…

This week has been pretty busy. It started bright an early on Monday, when all my hard work promoting the release of our big Fortune 500 issue came to life. The following day was my birthday, which I celebrated quietly before diving back into work. Now I’m preparing for my Mom to arrive tonight! I…
