Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
After watching UGA lose to South Carolina yesterday afternoon, I needed something to perk my spirits up once again. Lucky for me, Dan arrived in NYC for a visit yesterday, and seeing his smiling face for dinner was just what I needed to make me forget the depressing football loss. Dinner was a very last…

We needed to fuel our bellies before heading out of the city for the Labor Day weekend and Gav wanted sandwiches. Since we were leaving from Hoboken (still a pretty foreign place to me), I was unable to contribute any suggestions, but luckily, Gav had us covered and insisted we grab food from Fiore’s. This…

Want a party? Go to Bagatelle for brunch. Believe me, you need to be briefed beforehand so you know what you’re getting into. We arrived at 1:30 on Saturday to celebrate Steph’s bday, and I saw a few disbelievers in the group. I think they were just surprised to see so many sequined dresses in…

I’m going to tell it like it is right now. Work is HARD. We are super busy which means everyone is putting in some long hours, stressed to the max. In my opinion, the best way to relieve stress is with a great meal, which is why I headed out to a nice lunch with…

Last night, I headed down to Meatpacking with some co-workers to check out the Standard Grill. You may have heard the best part of The Standard is the scandalous view into the non-curtained hotel rooms – use your imagination. But I’m here to tell you, the food’s not bad, either. We started by sharing a…

Yesterday was all about eating in Williamsburg. We started the afternoon by going to 3rd Ward‘s 3rd Annual Pig Out! celebration. 3rd Ward is an artist collective that offers classes and workspace and apparently some pretty awesome events. Check it out if you’re artsy…or if you just like fun, porky events. The team from the…
Read MoreI had a wild night on Friday night – very rare for me, which meant I woke up on Saturday morning remembering why I usually leave going out to Saturday nights. We were meeting friends in the East Village so we chose KGB Bar as a meeting spot after seeing it was a Critic’s Pick on…
Read MoreToday, a few co-workers and I hit up Mexican restaurant Toloache for lunch. Since we were heading back to work, we skipped the margs, but in the past they have been quite enjoyable. Thankfully, I didn’t need to be drunk to enjoy the food. Since we had been there before, we knew the guacamole trio…
