Today, 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…

On Saturday night, Matt, Greg, Susan, Dave and I headed to the LES to celebrate Susan’s successful fundraising event for the Gulf Coast oil spill cleanup efforts. Susan put together a fabulous New Orleans themed event (think: bloody marys, hurricanes, king cake, Popeye’s, beads, and a great raffle) so a little afterparty was in order and…

As the last hoorah of my b-day celebration, I took yesterday off to celebrate it like the holiday it is. It was a perfect day: I caught up on my DVR’d shows, read/people-watched in the park, and enjoyed a burger. Burger spot brgr opened their 2nd outpost this weekend, and it is conveniently located around…

Dave knows how to keep me happy throughout my bday weekend – help me cross more restaurants off my list! I’m rarely in the UWS, but we had to run and errand and found ourselves hungry for lunch in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Since we were in the mood to explore, we decided to walk around…

I kicked off my birthday weekend (it’s a big birthday – I deserve a whole weekend) by crossing a restaurant off my list. After hearing Susan talk/blog about Tamarind, the Indian restaurant was added to my ever lengthening list of must-trys. I don’t usually connect Indian fare with fine dining, but Tamarind takes Indian food…

I’m a little late in reporting this one, but I could not forget about it altogether because my dinner at One if by Land, Two if by Sea was truly unforgettable. Make sure you’ve got deep pockets for this one because it will set you back a small mortgage, but it was delicious. We were…

I have a very good reason for not blogging recently: my parents were in town!!! Not sure if you know this, but my parents are incredibly cool, so when they’re here, they receive every ounce of my attention. We pretty much did everything there was to do, so let me start at the beginning. Friday…

Abe and Arthur’s
Last night was another great dining experience with coworkers. It was a Thursday night, and we were 4 hot mamas, so the only logical dinner location was Meatpacking. Didn’t you know? I’m one of the beautiful people. We went wild on the menu: Appetizers: Tuna Tartar Tacos Hamachi Sashimi (Pictured below, top row, far right):…

I am happy to say that I crossed another restaurant off my list on Saturday night! I am always intrigued by a restaurant that specializes in something. I think it is because I like the idea that they are throwing themselves into something 100%, nothing half-assed about it. The latest restaurant to catch my eye…

After some last minute changes in plans on Saturday night, we found ourselves walking into Kellari Taverna for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated immediately. If you’re wondering about the restaurant’s credibility due to the fact that there was no hour-long wait, I’ll have you know it was recently featured on Gossip Girl;…
