Manhattan

  • Emporio + Cake Boss Cafe

    Last weekend, MDP and I went on a food tour of Nolita and Noho courtesy of MDP’s kind cousin Jan. The tour was extraordinary! We sampled Brooklyn blackout cupcakes and homemade ricotta on multigrain toast among other delightful treats on our three-hour culinary journey. Read more

  • Yerba Buena Perry

    Located on the corner of Perry Street and Greenwich Avenue, Yerba Buena Perry serves up Latin flavors that delight the palate. Read more

  • Topaz Thai Restaurant

    I love Thai food, don’t you? It’s so nice to live in New York and have a panoply of Thai restaurants to choose from. Last night, MDP and I went to Topaz, an old favorite located past Carnegie Hall on 56th Street. Just take a few steps down from street level and you enter a Read more

  • Joy Burger Bar

    The name conjures warmth, doesn’t it? Joy Burger Bar. Read more

  • Noodle Bar

    On their website, Noodle Bar proclaims to offer diners “something special.” If a drafty interior with cramped tables and spare seating is what they consider to be “something special,” then surely they’ve delivered.

    Going with the wood-fired oven feature, High Heat is found down in Greenwich Village, on Bleecker Street, among many bars and Qdobas. Read more

  • Clinton Street Baking Company

    MDP and I stumbled into Clinton Street Baking Company last night, after being pushed aside at Schiller’s. I had been to Clinton Street many times before–for brunch, of course, but I had heard they also served a mean burger. Read more

  • Your NYC Alternatives to Hostess

    In the wake of Hostess’ plight, it’s important that we come together and rally around confections–in particular, the kind that can’t be bought at 7-11. Now, I know, it’s convenient to just pick up a package of Twinkies and scarf ’em down, but better sweets await you. Located in the deep west side, there are Read more

  • Five Points

    Five Points is located on Great Jones Street/Way and Lafayette, just a block or so south of Astor Liquor. The location is neither bustling nor dead, and has an air of magic about it. Lights shine down on you as you enter Five Points, which is symbolized by a bright red star–the restaurant’s namesake. Read more
