Mayhem and Stout
Continental / New York / Restaurants/Bars

Mayhem and Stout

Posted on August 19, 2013 by tkonter • Leave a comment

The name sounds so rock and roll but it’s fitting because this sandwich shop serves braised meat with an attitude.  Mayhem and Stout started as a stall at NYC flea markets and just opened their first brick and mortar location on Friday – a convenient one block walk from my apartment.  Since it’s so close … Continue reading →

Hendrick’s

Posted on August 6, 2013 by tkonter • Leave a comment

I waited patiently for Hendrick’s to open in a space that had remained vacant for the full year since I moved into my apartment.  It was right downstairs from my place and as it started coming together, it looked promising.  The painted brick, white marble bar, and glazed wood floors signified a spot that could … Continue reading →

Vanguard

Vanguard

Posted on July 23, 2013 by tkonter • Leave a comment

My Mom thought the bartender at Vanguard was joking when he said the ovens were shut off on Friday so we couldn’t order any of the cooked items on the menu.  Except it wasn’t a joke.  That’s just what happened when NYC experienced a heat wave and the act of using an oven became too … Continue reading →

Perk Kafe

Perk Kafe

Posted on June 25, 2013 by tkonter • Leave a comment

When I moved from the UES to Murray Hill, my food options expanded.  I felt bad complaining since I had so many more cuisines at my fingertips, but there was one thing noticeably missing: the coffee shop.  Thanks to the TV show Friends, many kiddies of my generation assume groups of New York pals convene … Continue reading →

Salvation Taco
Mexican/Latin American / New York / Restaurants/Bars

Salvation Taco

Posted on March 26, 2013 by tkonter • Leave a comment

The hot new spot in Murray Hill is without a doubt Salvation Taco.  It’s interesting that April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman’s restaurant is constantly packed because it is nothing like the places that typically attract crowds in Murray Hill, meaning they’ve actually paid attention to decor and food quality and have shied away from a frat … Continue reading →

Bakery/Cafe / Continental / New York / Restaurants/Bars

Penelope

Posted on February 22, 2013 by tkonter • Leave a comment

Penelope stands out in Murray Hill as the one adorable brunch place.  It’s a cutesy cafe with rustic windows serving simple but comforting foods like grilled cheese, the BLT, and salads.  Unfortunately, since it’s the only restaurant of this category in the neighborhood, the line is always ridiculous.  In no mood to wait for an … Continue reading →

Cask
Bars / Continental / New York / Restaurants/Bars

Cask

Posted on September 14, 2012 by tkonter • Leave a comment

Cask was the first “cool” place I spotted in my new neighborhood, and I’ve been dying to try it ever since I moved in.  It seemed like a more sophisticated post-work watering hole so Podz and I took our sophisticated selves there post-work on Wednesday night.  I had tried once before to eat there, but … Continue reading →

The Cannibal
Bars / Continental / New York / Restaurants/Bars

The Cannibal

Posted on September 7, 2012 by tkonter • Leave a comment

The Cannibal makes it easy to enjoy beer.  If a place claims to know beer, you hope they’re not serving Bud Light.  Here, the entryway is lined with refrigerators that hold all kinds of beers you’ve never heard of.  These are the kind of beers with funky labels and names.  Next, you don’t want froo froo … Continue reading →

Terroir
Bars / New York / Restaurants/Bars

Terroir

Posted on September 4, 2012 by tkonter • Leave a comment

When Ash suggested we meet in my new neighborhood for a much needed happy hour catch-up sesh, I jumped at the chance to try Terroir.  Terroir, “the elitist wine bar for everyone,” surged to such levels of popularity that they expanded their original location, an adjunct of the East Village restaurant, Hearth.  There is now … Continue reading →

Barking Dog
Continental / New York / Restaurants/Bars

Barking Dog

Posted on June 25, 2012 by tkonter • Leave a comment

In my five years of living in the Upper East I never went to Barking Dog so when I moved to Murray Hill and there was another location just a few blocks away I figured it was time to finally give it a go.  This decision was helped along by the fact that there are … Continue reading →
