NYC Restaurant Reviews | Steakhouses, Burgers & Bars
Here is the full Giulietta package ready to paste in: Giulietta NYC Review: Great Burrata, Good Carbonara, and One Dish I Still Think About Some Fridays write themselves. Friends in from out of town, nobody wants to do anything complicated, no reservations, long week all around. You just need somewhere good that is not going…
I have been following Rocco DiSpirito’s career for a while. I remember a Tindle event where he served the most insane vegetarian chicken parm I have ever had. Coming from a guy like me, someone who considers a salad a tragedy and a vegetable a garnish, that is not a sentence I say lightly. The…
I was stuck at one of those cybersecurity seminars in Midtown where the food can best be described as technically edible. You know the type. Conference coffee that has been sitting out since sunrise, sandwiches that somehow taste dry and wet at the same time, and a Caesar salad that looked like it had been…
A simple conversation with a friend somehow turned into a full debate about what The Smith actually is. Is it a restaurant? A brunch spot? A safety net for groups who cannot agree on anything? We landed on this. The Smith is the modern New York diner. Not the old school greasy spoon where you…
I honestly do not remember exactly how I ended up here, but I got here, so we are just going to roll with it. I think it was a Sunday, I had some Blackbird credits burning a hole in my pocket, and I found myself at La Tête d’Or by Daniel. I have been eyeing…

BFFL is back in town which means two things. We can finally hit the restaurants that require more than one person and she is the one pulling the reservations. I am mostly there for moral support and excessive ordering. This time we made it to Hawksmoor for their Sunday Roast, something I had been wanting…
Getting reservations here is a nightmare. Shannon pulled them anyway because that is what a BFFL does. Bar Chimera sits inside 550 Madison Avenue, the same building as Cote and Sushi Yoshitake, and if you have spent any time at either of those restaurants, you already know what you are walking into. This hospitality group…
It was one of my friend’s birthdays, which meant two things: we needed somewhere that could handle a large group and somewhere nobody would complain about. Honestly, finding a New York restaurant that can pull both of those off without somebody threatening mutiny halfway through appetizers is harder than getting Yankees playoff tickets. So we…
Carver Steak NYC Review (Round Two): Back With the Crew and Zero Regrets Well… I ended up back at CarverSteak. This time it was with the old food crew. The OGs. The guys I started this whole “eat everything in sight” journey with. Haven’t seen them in a minute, so we needed somewhere solid, fun,…
