Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
When it comes to cheese shops, I’m pretty loyal to Murrays, but there’s a new guy in town that’s offering some interesting competition. When it comes to straight cheese selection, Murray’s still wins out, but when you want a fun meal, Beecher’s is the place to go. When you walk into the Flatiron cheese temple, you’ll…

One of my brother’s best friends was in town last weekend, interviewing for fellowship programs. I was determined to make my brother proud and show him how amazing NYC can be so we filled the schedule with museums, restaurants, and [of course] bars. Between dinner and an apartment party on Saturday night, we went to…

Last weekend, Ashley introduced me to Destination Bar & Grille, an East Village hangout that will remain on my radar for their great happy hour. Not only are the drinks cheap, but the happy hour specials last until 8 PM every day of the week – yes, even Saturday. If that alone doesn’t get you…

I love my Upper East Side bar scene. It consists of dive bars and wine bars, which are my kinda watering holes. However, every once in a while it’s nice to do something different, which is why I’m glad JBird Cocktails opened on Thursday night. As an opening night special, they offered two-for-one drinks, a…

On Thursday night I headed to Chelsea with some co-workers to check out Rye House, a bar I stuck on my “to try” list a while ago but forgot about. I was not expecting hipster bartenders in the front and communal dining tables in the back, but I loved the mix of high and low. …

It took me literally the entire summer, but on the last official Friday afternoon of Summer 2012, I finally made it to Birreria, the rooftop bar at Eataly. The weather was simply perfect for outdoor drinks and nibbles so we spent a few hours chilling on the roof. The food is good, but the selection and…

Congratulate me because I finally made it to Momofuku Noodle Bar. Til now, my only Momofuku experience has been at Milk Bar (and that’s not an experience to sneer at), but I’ve been dying to expand my Momofuku horizons for quite some time. After our sticky buns, Podz and I decided to do a little…
