The Odeon
When it comes to famous TriBeCa spots – nay, famous New York spots – The Odeon is a biggie. The 80s was its true heyday, but in recent years The Odeon has seen a resurgence. Once again it is populated by the haute couture gang, thanks to Condé Nast’s recent move to nearby One World … Continue reading
Burger & Lobster
On Saturday Albert and I wanted to celebrate his getting his bonus with lobster rolls and a boat ride on the Hudson. Unfortunately, due to Summer Streets (where Park Avenue is closed to traffic on Saturdays in August), it took us half an hour in a cab to make it less than half way to … Continue reading
Ruby’s
Ok so we all agree SoHo is a cool part of town. And since Ruby’s – a cool, SoHo restaurant – chose Murray Hill as the neighborhood for their second location, that makes us cool, too, right? The Ruby’s menu has some Aussie vibes (fish and chips, vegemite) with the bulk of the menu falling … Continue reading
Hard Times Sundaes
Like many vendors inside UrbanSpace Vanderbilt, Hard Times Sundaes started as a food truck. Contrary to what their name implies, Hard Times Sundaes is all about burgers, not ice cream. The burgers and hot dogs are what you would expect from a food truck – no frills, topped with chili, wrapped in bacon, fried. All the … Continue reading
Salvation Burger
April Bloomfield knows burgers, as evidenced by the amazing versions she serves at The Spotted Pig and The Breslin, so when she announced a burger-centric spot it immediately hit my radar. I made it to Salvation Burger within the first two weeks of opening and it was already running smoothly. Bloomfield’s other forays into the … Continue reading
Juicy Lucy Turkey Burgers
Everybody loves a Juicy Lucy. Cheese is a MUST for a burger, but there’s no law that says it has to go on top. When it’s stuffed inside the burger, Juicy Lucy style, you get to have your cheese and get a surprise. I started by making some pimento cheese. Sorry, I refuse to give out my … Continue reading
Rippers
Help! The hipsters are invading Queens! That’s certainly what it feels like when you walk up to Rippers at the end of Rockaway Beach. It’s a throwback style surf shack with lots of neon. The clientele with their ironic Flock of Seagulls haircuts look straight out of Brooklyn. And that’s because they are. Apparently there’s … Continue reading
Ramen Burger
The ramen burger debuted at Smorgasburg two years ago and was a HIT. I didn’t even attempt to get one because I never felt like waiting an hour in the August heat, fighting off a bad case of boob sweat. But now that there are more Smorgasburg locations and the hysteria has subsided, it’s not so tough … Continue reading
3 on Thursday
As of today, I have nothing planned for Friday night, Saturday, or Saturday night. After a whirlwind trip to Athens over the weekend and then a long day of travel to and from Philly for work on Monday, I am happy the weekend before Thanksgiving is not packed to the brim. I was so happy … Continue reading
