Green Apple Gelato, New York City
The Green Apple Gelato NYC crew must be pretty confident in their frozen-treat-making abilities. After all, even though new gelato and frozen yogurt spots continue to sprout up thick and fast, and every third restaurant is plopping down an ice cream cart by their front door, Green Apple Gelato New York opened last month a […]
Lobster Feast in Red Hook, every Friday night
Rocky Sullivan’s in Red Hook Hosts “Lobstah Feast Friday” Lobster feast in Red Hook anyone? Labor Day has come and gone, but the Red Hook Lobster Pound crew is still working their magic, serving up that quintessential summertime treat every Friday night until the end of the year at throwback pub Rocky Sullivan’s in […]
The Redhead in NYC is a Jewel Among East Village Restaurants
Like all dutiful sweet/salt fiends, we’ve devoured bowls and bowls of the Redhead’s NYC justly-famous Bacon Peanut Brittle, mostly while sipping cocktails at what practically defines a “friendly neighborhood bar.” This is how the East Village’s Redhead story began, after all: for nearly a year after opening in 2007, The Redhead’s talented, big-hearted chef Meg […]
Baoguette Cafe Adds to NYC’s Lineup of Vietnamese Restaurants
Vietnamese restaurants in New York have enjoyed a surge of press and popularity of late, thanks in no small part to the Bahn Mi, that hopelessly addictive porky sandwich. And no one has jumped on the bandwagon with more gusto–and gustatory success–than Michael “Bao” Huynh, who rapidly and not so quietly has built himself quite […]
T Poutine: Disco Fries in New York City!
Is this the year that Poutine in New York City finally makes it onto our regular late-night snack list? New Yorkers have so far resisted this classic French-Canadian comfort food (the last place that heavily hyped their Poutine, the Inn LW12, closed within six months or so), but Lower East Side newcomer T Poutine clearly […]
Hill Country BBQ, NYC
It wasn’t that long ago that the number of good, authentic barbecue restaurants in New York City was pretty much zero. Today it’s a different story, after a smoked, spicy, saucy tsunami of first-rate BBQ restaurants flooded the town these past few years, led by the likes of Daisy Mae’s in Hell’s Kitchen, R.U.B. on […]
Keste Pizza & Vino: A New York Pizzeria & Restaurant
New York pizza restaurants are plentiful, but wonder why there’s ALWAYS a line outside of Keste Pizza, NYC? Does everyone know that chef Robert Caporuscio has such passion for his craft that he’s the American-chapter president of the Associazone Pizzaiuoli Napoletana, the Naples-based organization that certifies pizza-makers? Is it because Caporuscio imported master artisans from […]
The New York City Ice Cream Cart at Cafe Cluny
New York ice cream vending carts are one of our favorite food trends this summer. High- (or middle-) end chefs are setting up artisanal ice cream carts outside their restaurants. And while there have been decidedly mixed results in these sweet treats endeavors–Cookshop’s ice cream cart, for example, is something of a disaster–pastry chef Jacqueline […]
East Village Restaurants’ Permanent Brunch for Breakfast Lovers
New York City brunch served 24/7 is a new concept among East Village restaurants. Your degree of enthusiasm for the brand new East village restaurant Permanent Brunch can probably best be gauged by your excitement over these two words: bacon bar. Us? We couldn’t wait to sidle on up and choose from a half dozen […]
Union Square Cambodian Restaurant, Num Pang
Num Pang is one of several Union Square restaurants, but here, the main draw is sandwiches! One of the many, many great things about New York City? Not only is the town big enough, diverse enough, adventurous enough to support a food place that sells, almost exclusively, Cambodian sandwiches, but there’s also often a […]
