Upper West Side Restaurant AG Kitchen is a Huge Win for Alex Garcia
Give Chef-owner Alex Garcia a lot of credit for AG Kitchen, a Latin-seasoned comfort-food spot, just opened on the Upper West Side: with a crowd-pleasing menu–burgers! tacos! cheese bread! ice cream sundaes!–and extremely reasonable prices, he and his crew could have phoned this baby in (Garcia already runs nearby Calle Ocho), and the neighborhood probably […]
The Penrose NYC on the Upper East Side
Is the Upper East Side actually getting some downtown flavor? For example, over the past couple of years we've seen the likes of the great "food-driven pub" Jones Wood Foundry start slinging its bangers and mash on 76th and First Avenue, and then the lively, creative cocktail spot JBird open a few blocks up on […]
Disappointing Indie Food and Wine at Lincoln Center: An Open Letter
We don't usually post bad reviews of restaurants in this space because, really, what's the point? Unless it's a heavily-hyped place that fails, and fails badly, to deliver on its promise (and/or premise), and so deserves a warning before you go dropping a pile of your hard-earned dollars on a bad meal, it's so much […]

Piccolo Cafe: New on the Upper West Side
In an ideal world there would be a place like Piccolo Cafe every few blocks or so, all over town: a casual, all-day eatery with an interesting, varied menu and a kitchen that can crank out solid, satisfying food at a reasonable price. And if said place is as ridiculously cute (in a very tasteful […]

Restaurants on the Upper East Side: The Best Restaurants in NYC

Ovenly NYC: The Best Baked Goods in NYC?
We've just tasted some of the best baked goods in NYC at Books of Wonder Bookstore, and speaking of amazing baked goods, consider the insanely delicious creations coming out of the kitchens at Ovenly. Ovenly NYC has been supplying area taverns (with bar snacks) and NYC coffee shops (with pastries) for about a year and a […]
Books of Wonder Kid’s Bookstore: Now With More Cookies! And Bacon!
Is Books of Wonder NYC's best children's book store? Possibly. Probably. Yes, ok: definitely. Because although it's been a bunch of years since we last brought our children to this pretty, airy Chelsea bookstore–it's both New York City's oldest and largest independent children's bookstore–as soon as we walked in the door last week nothing but […]
