Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Saturday night I headed to Ashley’s for dinner and drinks with her sister and friend. We kicked off the Spring evening with champagne on the roof of Ash’s building before heading around the corner to Yefsi for dinner. Yefsi is a Greek restaurant that has a long list of appetizers that make it perfect for…

Johnny’s Bar is a tiny dive in the West Village that we stumbled into after brunch on Sunday. We walked in mostly as a way to escape the rain but then stayed for the laid back vibe. I feel like most spots in the West Vill are adorable little brunch places where you’re hoping to…

Strippers are so overdone. And kinda skeezy. That’s why, for Bridge’s bachelorette bash, we decided to hit up Lips for a drag show. It was hilarious, fun, and extra raunchy. I wanted to ask the “women” all sorts of questions regarding the makeup and wardrobe routine but I kept that all inside and just enjoyed…

Bridget’s bachelorette party was a raucous weekend-long affair, but Saturday was the big night. We started the evening with dinner at Essex, which is the perfect restaurant for groups. I’ve heard as much since I moved here but never got to experience it firsthand until now. I always thought it was the place for party…

My cousin Jason and his awesome wife Sarah met up with Jill and I during the Cambridge bit of our marathon Saturday afternoon walk. I don’t think I had seen them since the last time I was in Boston – a year ago for their wedding – so it was great to catch up. After…

We had absolutely gorgeous Spring weather all weekend so we…

Last Saturday was a Hoboken night. Steph and I needed some time to catch up, so while Gav surrounded himself with March Madness, we hit up The Turtle Club for dinner and drinks. The restaurant is new(ish) to Hoboken, but the mosaic floors have an old school flair that remind you an actual Turtle Club…

Puddin’ is reserved as a term of endearment, which is why I think it is the perfect name for this small dessert shop in the East Village. Puddin’ serves up their own special concoctions, like the lemon drop, coconut cruise, and caramel macchiato. Or if you’d like to create your own parfait, mix-and-match style, choose…

There was a ton of pressure associated with Friday night’s restaurant pick. It was my Daddy’s birthday and he had high expectations. He left the picking entirely up to me, but I knew there were a few things he was hoping to get out of dinner. My father loves game but doesn’t see it all…
