Today I traded the New York Times for a couple of magazines during my Sunday coffee house ritual. While catching up on this week’s Time Out, I came across their feature on the city’s best new burgers. We all know about Burger Joint and Minetta, but apparently some newbies are tearing up the scene. Of…

And now for the post you know has been coming: Thanksgiving! This year put all others to shame since Mark and Allison welcomed a record 18 people into their home. More people means more food so there was a lot going on in that kitchen. Before I tell you about the food, please take a…

The night before Thanksgiving is usually a crazy night. Everyone comes back in town and a debauchery-filled, unofficial high school reunion ensues. While I had prepared myself for this evening, all of my friends decided not to get back in town til it was too late to go out. Don’t you worry, readers. I got…

One restaurant in Savannah has continued to elude me. For the two or so years it has been open, I have heard all my family and friends talk about Starland Cafe (with location #2 under different name in the Telfair museum).

After Blood Manor, I headed to the East Village to celebrate Matt’s 26th birthday. When it comes to your best friend, missing a birthday is simply unacceptable; so although I would be late due to the previously mentioned haunted house and bar activities, I knew this was something I couldn’t skip out on. I was…
Read MoreCall me a snob, but I’m rarely in the Upper West Side – UES all the way for me. Last night, however, was an exception as I went up to 81st and Amsterdam to meet Jared for a glass of wine. Typically, I wouldn’t be so accommodating, but Jared’s a newbie to the city so…

It is nearly impossible for me to stay away from Athens for an entire football season, so I planned a trip to GA for Homecoming. I was also way past due for a visit with my Atl buddies so I headed down on Thursday night for a little quality time with Patricia and Miesh. Since…
