  • Nodus: Noodles galore

    Nodus is poised to revolutionize the Thai noodle experience–or so we’re led to believe. In the Sunnyside Post, the owner of Nodus explains that his restaurant offers a glimpse into Thai food beyond Pad Thai. “We want to focus on Thai noodles both broth and without broth,” he said. A novel approach… Nodus, which is Read more

  • Queens Comfort: Brunch

    This weekend, my dining partner and I were searching for a good brunch place where we could fill our bellies on Sunday morning. We came across Queens Comfort in Astoria on Yelp, which received fairly high reviews (not that this means anything; it means nothing, really). I’m not a huge fan of Astoria, but I Read more

  • De Mole: Brunch

    One of Sunnyside’s best kept secrets is definitely De Mole. Not only is their dinner spectacular, but their brunch is to die for. Every time my dining partner and I go we sit in the same spot by the window. I’m not sure how this happens, but it’s a pleasant coincidence. This week, I ordered Read more

  • Turkish Pide Bread

    Have you had this stuff? I won’t blame you if you haven’t. I’m lucky enough to live two blocks away from a fantastic Turkish restaurant, where pide is generously doled out. (With hummus!

But you haven’t tried tortillas until you’ve been to Tortilleria Nixtamal in Corona, Queens. Buy ’em by the pound (14/lb.). They’ll warm your fingers as you day dream of their potential on the 7 train. I Read more

  • Every good post begins with a completely original title. There you have it. This post will be amazing! A much needed burger joint has arrived to Long Island City, Queens. Jurors, fret no more. Your days of visiting the Court Square Diner for a cheeseburger deluxe are over. And for the Manhattanites out there, this Read more

  • SHAKE SHACK AT CITI FIELD I know the Mets season may soon come to an end. Or it should. Put the people out of New York out of their misery, please. If you happen to intentionally attend a Mets game or take a ride on the 7 toward Flushing on a game day, I highly Read more

  • BLISS BISTRO Gesturing to the street sign–46th Street/Bliss–Furry said, “Places around here get a lot of mileage out of that.” Bliss, my friend, is the that Furry speaks of. He’s right. They do. Nail shops, fruit stands, bars, Starbucks even (well, if they could, they would). Businesses assure us of their overwhelming bliss-filled essence. And Read more
