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…

When I walked by Arctica (a douchy typical Murray hill bar) and noticed it was now Whitman and Bloom I thought…oh good, Arctica 2.0. But when Albert said that’s what he wanted for his November pick, I couldn’t argue. You see, we’re trying to establish a tradition where we each choose 1-2 new restaurants or…
