Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
This weekend, I went on a spontaneous trip to Boston to visit Jill. Knowing I would want to experience all of Beantown’s best eats, she made a reservation for Saturday morning brunch at South End Buttery, a restaurant that has won awards year after year. We had absolutely gorgeous Spring weather all weekend so we…

After walking around the West Village, Podz and I decided to end the day with a stop at Popbar. Popbar makes gelato, yogurt, and sorbetto popsicles that they then hand dip into the chocolate and topping of your choice. Podz chose hazelnut gelato with dark chocolate and coconut flakes, while I chose mixed berry yogurt…

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…

My parents’ trip here this past weekend had multiple objectives: 1) help me get everything in order for an apartment I am hoping (praying) to get 2) spend some quality time with their one and only daughter and 3) celebrate both of their birthdays. I was unable to spend my mother’s birthday with her so…

If you want to see why Mario Batali is famous but don’t want to pony up the pesos for Babbo or Del Posto, I highly recommend Otto. Batali’s pizza/pasta restaurant is spitting distance from the arch in Washington Square and offers quality food at prices that draw NYU students right out of the park. Amy…

I’m back from my two-week escapade all over Israel and all I can think about is how I want to be back in that gorgeous country with all my new friends. I could talk for hours about the places I visited, but I would be lying by omission if I didn’t tell you that the…

If you ever want to find a good burger, Matt Greenberg is the person to call. He has made it his goal to try every [good] burger in the city so when we were meeting up with Brad and wanted some gastropub food, we let him do the picking. He led us to Whitman’s at…

Matt’s birthday last weekend was an all-afternoon affair at Full Circle Bar, the skee-ball bar in Brooklyn. A fun day at the bar will always last longer if the bar comes with games, which means we stayed there for several hours. I now know that, like beer pong, skee-ball abilities are at their best at…
