TABLE FOR ONE: OUEST
01/27/12
As a new transplant to the Upper West Side, I must admit, I was a tad scared of the dining scene up here. It's known as a "wasteland" of restaurants. It's not known for having too many great restaurants. Luckily, I have found some decent spots, and one such spot is Ouest. Known a -
NYC FOODIE LUNCH OF THE WEEK: THE COMMONS CHELSEA
01/26/12
In what was once a shoe store, is now the cute and small coffee and sandwich shop The Commons Chelsea, and it's a true gem of a spot. I stopped in this week for some great La Colombe coffee and a sandwich, and was blown away. You can order a salad or start with a great toast. My toast came with -
NYC FOODIE BROOKLYN RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK: ISA
01/25/12
One of the best restaurants to open up last year was Isa, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Isa comes to us from Taavo Somer (Freeman's, Peels) and chef Ignacio Mattos (il Buco). The restaurant is very rustic and "woodsy", wood dominates the decor of the space. You can take a seat in the fir -
NYC FOODIE QUICK BITE: KUTSHER'S TRIBECA
01/23/12
Modern Jewish American Bistro. I never thought I'd ever speak or write those words. But, this does exist. Down in the hip and trendy Tribeca. An offshoot of the popular Catskills resort, Kutsher's Tribeca is bringing modern Jew food to the masses. And after a meal there last month, I' -
TABLE FOR ONE: GRADISCA
01/12/12
Gradisca, a popular Italian restaurant in the West Village, that recently had an article written about it in the NY Times, is really good. I stopped by for the first time a few weeks ago, and had a great time. I like the layout of this restaurant, the bar is in the back, as opposed to the front, whi -
TABLE FOR ONE: SALINAS
01/10/12
Sexy Spanish tapas await you at Salinas, a new spot that opened up in Chelsea last year. The place is dark and "loungey", and typifies the NYC "Scene". It's a hot spot with really good food from Chef Luis Bollo.
Your fist insight into a good meal starts with the -
NYC FOODIE QUICK BITE: BARRIO 47
01/09/12
A new gem of a restaurant opened up late last year, that has been under the radar, and I think everyone should know about it. The restaurant is Barrio 47, in the West Village, bordering the Meatpacking district, in what used to be Pasita.
Much of the menu utilizes a wood-fire oven, and p -
