Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
About a week and a half ago I went to Williamsburg for Sunday brunch with Matt and Jen. I knew I had to get in some quality time before the baby popped out (which she since has, that adorable little wad of cuteness). They texted me four options and I chose Traif since it had…

We had just been talking about how we love Ethiopian food but there are only two restaurants in NYC. Scratch that; apparently there are three. I said we should definitely check it out sometime.

Wednesday night seemed like a good time to try Hide-Chan Ramen, the pork broth restaurant I’ve been hearing so much about. I was excited to take my parents because this is definitely not the type of thing you can find in Savannah. I had heard about the grilled pork toro (pork cheek), so I knew…

Saturday night, we headed to Yerba Buena for what was to be a wonderful dinner. I’ve been to Yerba Buena before, but I’ve never gone after the menu the way I did this weekend. We discovered the maitre d’ used to live in Savannah and soon became BEST friends. Our new buddy hooked us up with…
