While I was at home blogging, Steph g-chatted me to see what my big birthday plans were. When I told her I didn’t have anything on the books (after all, the big celebration was Saturday night), she was downright appalled. She was having none of it. Next thing I knew, I had dinner plans at…

It’s here. Though I started celebrating over the weekend, today is my actual birthday. I have officially entered my late 20s. As evidenced by all my posting today, I spent most of my birthday relaxing in the apartment. Lame, perhaps, but it’s my birthday and I’ll do as I dang well please. A little after…

Ippudo may be a prevalent chain in Japan, but in the US there is but one location – a beacon in the East Village. Critics don’t usually review chain restaurants, so when the Frank Bruni of the Times not only visited Ippudo in 2009 but gave it a star, I knew there must be something…

Everyone loves a good secret and Tehuitzingo is one of the best. At first glance, Tehuitzingo is nothing more than a bodega on 10th Avenue stocking Mexican grocery items, but if you walk to the back, there is suddenly a rocking restaurant that has managed to squeeze in everything but a mariachi band into about 30…
