Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I know Jen was upset to leave New York, but she, Matt, and Avery have made themselves a beautiful life in Atlanta. They told me one thing that eased the transition was seeing how close they were to Buford Highway. Buford Highway is a sketchy area, but one that’s worth visiting if you want authentic…

I had planned a trip to Georgia for the Ole Miss game and some hanging out with my Atlanta friends, but I was worried that I wouldn’t make it out due to Hurricane Sandy. I was worried about getting to the airport so I left about four hours before my flight. Because the city was…

I broke my toe last Wednesday. I wish I could say it was a Sandy casualty but, really, it was just me being stupid and clumsy. When I could no longer walk the mile and a half to work (remember, the subways were shut down), I took a cab…that promptly got into an accident. I…

Finally finally finally I got to try The Spotted Pig. Like all little sisters, I live to impress my brother and the best way I see fit to do so is by choosing a stellar restaurant. When he not-so-subtly hinted that he wanted to go to a gastropub, I thought this might be our chance…

I’m much prefer pie over cake, and I don’t discriminate when it comes to meat vs. sweet, which is why I was thrilled to discover Dangerously Delicious on a night out in DC this weekend. It’s open until 3:30 AM, making it the perfect place to fuel up late night before going dancing at Rock…

I recently stumbled upon Dainobu while I was walking home from work. This Japanese grocery store and deli is packed with the kinds of products you usually need to go to Canal Street to find. I finally made the time to go in but made the mistake of going on a Sunday evening when the…

What if I told you I just went to a great new restaurant but it’s a little out of the way? I’m sure you would ask just how far out we’re talking. Well, it’s in the middle of nowhere in Brooklyn, and I had to take a subway and shuttle to get there. Most people…
