NYC Restaurant Reviews | Steakhouses, Burgers & Bars
My experiences in New York City. The restaurants I have visited and the activities I have done.
Some Saturday nights, you don’t want to deal with people. This was one of those nights. However, I also had my Amex Resy credit to use before the quarter ended, so I figured, why not treat myself? Nothing crazy, just a solo meal somewhere new, something to shake things up a bit.Dynamo Room caught my…
Frank has been around forever, and for good reason—it’s one of those East Village staples that always delivers. The whole family of restaurants feels like walking into your grandma’s kitchen (if your grandma also had a killer HVAC system and three guys working an 8×8 kitchen nonstop). The vibe is simple, chill, and always reliable….
When we left off, we had just wrapped up dinner at Minetta Tavern and wandered over to Dear Strangers. This spot sits right by NYU, in my old stomping grounds, where I spent way too much time (and money) in dive bars back in the day. But this place? Whole different vibe. Dear Strangers You…
Every now and then, the stars align and Peaches makes it back to the East Coast. She’s one of those friends I don’t get to see nearly enough, so when she does roll through, it always turns into a proper feast. This time, we kicked things off at Minetta Tavern , a New York institution…
The question of the night: If you cook your own food at a Michelin-starred Korean BBQ like COTE NYC, does that make you a Michelin chef? Luckily, at COTE, you don’t have to worry about that—they handle most of the grilling for you. Minus the occasional stolen piece from a friend who insists on eating…
The day after the Yankees–Red Sox game, Eddie and I somehow ended up unsupervised (always a dangerous thing). This whole journey started after a round at Dead Rabbit and a quick stop at Watermark — though I won’t bother with a full write-up there since everyone already knows it’s the place to grab those giant…
Carne Mare is… interesting. Gorgeous setting, right on Pier 17 with the water view and a perfect breeze. (Not the place you want to be in winter, but that’s another rant.)Now, let me get this out of the way: I’m petty. Like, world-class petty. I will hold a grudge for years—decades even. So, while everyone…
Becca’s birthday always seems to line up with a Yankee game, and this year we had 12 people to feed. Now, how do you keep a group that size fed without losing your mind in the middle of a Red Sox vs. Yankees packed house? Simple: Uber Eats. UberEats to the Rescue Lines in the…
This week’s adventures brought us to The Sea Fire Grill in Midtown Manhattan. Not our usual steak-heavy stop, but after two weeks of overeating (and overdrinking), we figured it was time to watch our girlish figures. Something lighter, fresher, and—most importantly—close to the hotel. The Sea Fire Grill at The Buchanan (158 E 48th St,…
Let’s be honest: I’m basically a giant kid with a credit card. So, when I saw that And Son Speakeasy in Greenwich Village was offering an Adult Happy Meal, I knew I had to check it out. The deal is interesting: $27.99 gets you a burger, fries, and a beer. And if you go before…
