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…

There are a few standards when it comes to beer halls. You’ll usually see communal picnic tables and giant pretzels. You’ll find both of those at Flatiron Hall, but you’ll also find them in a more refined space with medieval looking chandeliers. There’s no sawdust on the floor but the tables are still communal and…

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…

My friend Wendy is a fabulous foodie who also knows her way around a kitchen. If she says a restaurant is good, you can probably take her word for it. I reached out to her for suggestions for Jen’s visit because Jen wanted to be sure to check out the hottest spot on the NYC…

I was a big fan of The Spotted Pig so I walked into The Breslin expecting a good meal. A good meal is just what I got. Don’t you just hate when things turn out just as you’d hoped? I liked the vibe from the moment I walked inside. Even though it’s located in the…

I get what they’re trying to do at Sweetwater Social. They want to give you the best of both worlds. In one place you can have high end cocktails and low end games. It may be the only place with a shufflepuck table and drinks fancy enough to be served with those giant ice cubes. I…

When I realized my parents would be staying right by Albert’s new office, I thought it would be a great opportunity to check out the bar/restaurant he discovered during his first week on the job. Parker and Quinn is a gastropub which basically means it’s elevated bar food with fancier drinks. The vibe is a…
