I absolutely love love love Dallas BBQ. This was one of the first restaurants I went to in Times Square after moving to NYC and it never disappoints. I'm not sure if they are more famous for their frozen drink concoctions or the actual food. Either way, I always seem to indulge in both. I [...]
I had the pleasure of dining at Nobu in TriBeCa, NY. Perfect ambiance, great food and service. To start, the rock shrimp tempura with the creamy spicy sauce was an amazing appetizer. To follow up with this, I had to try their sushi. I mean this is Nobu we're talking about. I decided to try [...]
East Village, NY has to have some of the best restaurants in New York City. I stumbled upon this gem in search of a good happy hour in the area. Unfortunately it ended at 7pm here so I missed the happy hour but boy did they make that up with the delectable dishes they have [...]
Brunch has become a very very big deal. It's the best of both worlds. A bit of breakfast mixed with lunch dishes is a pretty good combo. Here in New York we often add a DJ and groups of about 6-8 people per reservation to make brunch that much better. Since most places offer a [...]
I've been in New York for quite some time now and was on a quest to find good mussels. I have to say the mussels at Bedford Hall have been the best I've had thus far. If you're ever in the area, please give them a try. The dijon cream mussels are what's pictured below.
On yesterday I ventured off to The Ainsworth and boy was it worth it. I've seen this mac and cheese burger combo on a ton of sites and blogs and figured it was time I gave this a try. The burger comes with panko crusted mac and cheese and a scoop of mac of cheese [...]
I use to find that I would have to be in a sort of sushi mood to enjoy it. Now, I could eat sushi daily without a problem. Not sure if I've found a permanent sushi mood or not but I can definitely have it more often than before. I stumbled upon a great lunch [...]
When anyone asks where's a good place to go for dinner, Stanton Social is always one of my recommendations. This tapas style restaurant lounge never disappoints. The menu does often change so you may not be able to try exactly what I have had the pleasure of having but the executive chef creates great dishes [...]
Burger and Lobster, newly introduced to New York, makes your dinner choice quite easy. There are 2 choices and both are just $20. First choice, the burger. Classic with bacon with/without cheese. Second choice, THE lobster. The intentionally written in all caps because this was the winner for me. The lobster can be either steamed [...]
I finally made my way to grab seafood from the infamous restaurant, The Boil, located in Lower Eastside Manhattan. OMG. This place definitely lived up to the hype. Crab legs seasoned with the special "boil" sauce which is a mixture of old bay, garlic butter and lemon pepper, along with shrimp tossed in garlic butter [...]
