Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
a.Lure has been open a little over a year but I hadn’t been so Mark and Allison were anxious to show it off. When I looked at the menu and saw lamb carpaccio served with blue cheese ice cream I understood why. Blue cheese ice cream? That’s the sort of thing that gets me toe-tappin’…

One of my favorite restaurants at home (we’re talkin top 3 here) is Bonna Bella. As a family not only from a Lowcountry/river town but whose home is actually on said river, we don’t like to stray from the water and dining is no exception. You can get to Bonna Bella by car or boat (more…

Lulu’s Chocolate Bar is a great downtown Savannah spot that always gathers a line. For good reason. The desserts are fabulous and going out for sweets and cocktails is a great way to end the night when you’re not quite ready to go home but don’t want to really go out. My parents and I…

Steph loves to go to Il Bastardo because it’s easy for her to get to from Hoboken and they apparently do a rowdy, dance party brunch. It’s hard to imagine that when you’re eating lunch there on a random weekday (which I was fortunate enough to do thanks to a pre-memorial day off work), but…

Major props for Lindsay who decided to host a birthday brunch with friends instead of trying to corral a big group for dinner and a bar night. She chose neighborhood restaurant The Pitch and Fork for a casual afternoon affair after seeing a menu that included her favorite brunch item, eggs benedict, as well as…

Deep in the Lower East Side near Chinatown you’ll find 169 Bar, one helluva dive. All I had to hear was that they have a $5 shot + beer deal and all my reservations of traveling that far for a party disappeared. There are all sorts or random lights and objects hanging off the walls…

Kunjip, you elusive K Town restaurant, you evade me no longer! I finally arrived for dinner early enough to avoid the 45 minute (minimum) line and was seated a mere 15 or 20 minutes after arrival. Contributing to the line is the fact that it is smaller than most K Town restaurants, but the food…

Food trucks have recently deemed the front of my office building a good place to park, which means temptation is now ever-present. I had resisted for quite some time, which was easy since I typically bring my lunch to work. On Thursday, however, I just didn’t have time to make my turkey and cheese sandwich.…
