      • NYC FOODIE QUICK BITE: SOCARRAT PAELLA BAR
        11/29/08
        Wednesday night I went to Socarrat Paella Bar in Chelsea, a restaurant that specializes in--(drum roll please) paella! I like paella a lot, but don't really eat it often, and never had any memorable paella in my life. So I was hoping this restaurant would do this Spanish dish justice.
      • Table For One: Macao Trading Co.
        11/26/08
        Tonight I went to the just opened Macao Trading Co. in Tribeca. This brand new restaurant comes to us from the team behind Employees Only, and celebrated chef David Waltuck, of Tribeca's Chanterelle. It is a two story space, with dining on the first floor. The second floor looks like an open st

      • NYC FOODIE QUICK BITE: THE LITTLE OWL
        11/20/08
        I hadn't been to The Little Owl since 2006 (see my review on this site) and the two or three times I had been, I dined alone. I went last night, this time with the perfect dining companion. I have to tell you that The Little Owl has not missed a beat. It is still cozy, quaint, homey, romantic,

      • Table For One: Benjamin Steakhouse
        11/12/08
        Tonight I decided it was too long since I had been to a steak house so I decided to hit up Benjamin Steakhouse in Midtown. The chef, Arturo Mcleod, spent 20 years at Peter Luger's, so he knows his steak. The restaurant, adjacent to the Dylan Hotel and formerly Britney Spears' flop NYLA, is

      • NYC FOODIE DISH OF THE WEEK: FRIED CHICKEN "BLUE RIBBON STYLE"
        11/11/08
        The NYC FOODIE dish of the week is the Fried Chicken "Blue Ribbon Style" ($24.50) hailing from Blue Ribbon Sushi and Grill located in the 6 Columbus Hotel.

        I finally had this dish after having heard about it several times since the place opened and is definitely worth all the hy

      • NYC FOODIE QUICK BITE: BAR BAO
        11/10/08
        A friend of mine took me out to Bar Bao, the new restaurant on the Upper West Side, formerly Rain. The redesigned space looks great; it's very large and very comfortable. The Vietnamese menu helmed by Michael Huynh (Bao 111, Bao Noodles) looks great... on paper. We ordered Daikon Duck Hash ($12

      • NYC Foodette: Candle 79
        11/07/08

        Dear NYC Foodie lovers,

        I am NYC Foodette, NYC Foodie's younger sister. Last night I went to Candle 79 with our other sister (no relation to the film The Other Sister). Believe it or not, I had wanted to check it out even before Frank Bruni's one-star review since I have r

      • TABLE FOR ONE: FERGUSSTOCK AT THE SPOTTED PIG
        11/03/08
        Last night I attended "FergusStock" at The Spotted Pig. Fergus Henderson is one of London's most acclaimed chefs (St. John restaurant), and when I heard he would be a guest chef at The Spotted Pig last night, I knew I needed to take advantage of this culinary opportunity. Mr. Henderso
