Taylor's Ham

where food and music and Taylor Swift collide

Manhattan

  • Red Rooster

    I remember a few years ago when Red Rooster opened to much acclaim. I thought to myself, “I’ll never go there because it must be such a mob scene.” Fast forward two years to today, and, lo and behold, I finally made it to Red Rooster. And what an experience I had! Read more

  • Maysville

    So called for the place where bourbon was born, Maysville serves up a wide variety of whiskeys and “smoked & charred food and raw & chilled seafood,” as their website notes. Read more

  • Sarabeth’s

    Oh, Sarabeth’s. I’ve wanted to go to you for so long. And I finally did. And I have to say, I have mixed feelings. Read more

  • Hummus Kitchen

    We stumbled upon Hummus Kitchen, and I asked MDP if anything on their menu looked good. He gave a tentative nod, and we went in. Read more

  • BabyCakes NYC

    If you know anyone with food allergies, BabyCakes is the place to send them. A vegan bakery, they serve up gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, vegan sugar/agave-sweetened confections that are quite delectable–even for the non-allergic. Read more

  • Ruay Thai

    Ruay Thai is pretty good. It’s small and easy to miss, but located just across the street from the sprawling Armenian church where one of my good friends recently got married. You certainly can’t miss that, so consider it your landmark. Read more

  • Neely’s Barbecue Parlor

    You might find Neely’s Barbecue Parlor on Yelp, and, due to so-so reviews, cross it off your list of barbecue options to try. You’d be sorely mistaken. Neely’s is quite good and well worth the trek off the beaten path. Read more

  • Bubby’s

    What do you say about a place called Bubby’s? Well, it’s well-lit, fairly spacious, and serves up just about the best pancakes New York has to offer. That’s exactly what you say. Read more

  • Tacombi

    There’s nothing quite like Tacombi in this city. At least not that I’ve seen. Read more

  • Gramercy Terrace

    Located on the roof of the Gramercy Park Hotel–whose feel transports you back a few centuries–Gramercy Terrace is a well-lit space (and surprisingly warm in the winter months) where summer cocktails are often consumed. In fact, it’s been rated one of the best rooftop bars in the city–and I get it. It’s gorgeous and quiet,… Read more
