Go Burger NYC, new(ish) on the Upper East Side
Go Burger NYC (as opposed to Go Burger LA), opened a couple of months ago in a central Upper East Side location, and seemed primed from the start to be a go-to neighborhood spot for families, groups, dates, couples… really: anyone who likes an easy, fun burger-fries-shake meal every now and again. First, Go Burger […]
The Brooklyn Star Restaurant: Terrific New Takes on Classic American Comfort Food
File under: excellent neighborhood spot that, for non-locals, is totally worth the trip. The Brooklyn Star Restaurant in Williamsburg, showcasing Chef Joaquin Baca's artfully updated, seasonally-driven takes on classic American comfort food, was really hitting its stride when a late night fire pretty much destroyed everything, back in February of 2010. It would take more […]
Empellon NYC: Chef Alex Stupak’s New Mexican Restaurant
Chef Alex Stupak was partially responsible for one of our all-time favorite New York City meals, a birthday celebration at the three-starred wd-50 on Clinton Street. At the time Stupak was wd-50's pastry chef, and his creations, which ended a spectacular meal, were as gorgeous, unique, and delicious as our companion. Now Alex Stupak has […]
Jones Wood Foundry: A New “Food Driven Pub” on the Upper East Side
Jones Wood Foundry, just recently opened on the Upper East Side, is the latest entry in a ever-more crowded field of NYC gastropubs–or, if you prefer, of casual restaurants serving refined, or elevated, British pub fare. The category has had more than its share of duds in recent years, but the good news for locals […]
Kin Shop NYC Thai Restaurant
Chef Harold Dieterle received national renown in 2005 when he won the first season of Top Chef, and then, perhaps even more difficult (and definitely more important), earned local NYC respect when he opened the first-rate Perilla on Jones Street just two years later, which is still cooking to capacity most nights. Late last fall […]
Little Brown Chocolate Bakery and Coffee, New on the Upper East Side
The Bald Man, aka Max Brenner, aka irl Oded Brenner, first brought his chocolate-mad ways over to New York City some five years ago, with his eponymous insta-hit near Union Square. We went to that Max Brenner a few times when it first opened, and gorged on the likes of Chocolate Chunks Pizza, Banana Split […]
The Little Cheese Pub NYC, New in Chelsea
Granted, it wouldn't take much to convince us to dine somewhere that's being billed as a "cheese restaurant"… but throw in the care and attention of Chef Daniel Angerer, who also runs Chelsea's solid neighborhood spot Klee, and the place instantly jumps to the top of our list. The Little Cheese Pub in NYC is […]
The Little Cupcake Bakeshop in NYC Is a Surprise Winner
We greeted the opening last fall of The Little Cupcake Bakeshop in NYC with, we think, justifiable skepticism. Not that we don't love baked goodies of all sorts–trust us, we do–including the unfairly maligned cupcake. It's just that, with its cartoony logo, and silly-food offerings (Fruity Pebbles Treats! Cookie Dough Cupcakes! etc.), and false-nostalgia decor, […]
Totto Ramen: Among the Best Ramen in NYC
We're right in thick of ramen season here in New York City, a time of slush and sleet and snow when few foods sound as appealing as a big bowl of hot, hearty, noodle-y soup. Good to know, then, about Totto Ramen NYC, located on the western edge of Midtown, and an excellent workaday way […]
Finding the Best Burgers in NYC
We're not ones to bemoan the "burgerfication" of the New York City cuisine scene. There will always be plenty of superb high- and upper-middle-end restaurants in this town, and we will always enjoy dining in them. BUT we (and our wallets) also appreciate the now decade-long trend of talented chefs and well-conceived specialty joints serving […]
