It was Jerry’s birthday, and we had a serious scientific question to answer: is carrot cake technically a salad? That was the excuse. The real plan was to go to Monkey Bar, eat everything, and then go to a steakhouse afterward. Yes. Monkey Bar was the snack. The pregame. The appetizer to dinner. We did…
I almost went to the wrong Astor. Of course I did. If you know me, you know I get lost anytime two places share a name. Astor Place. The Astor building. The Astor restaurant. My brain saw three Astors and quietly left the chat. So here is my one piece of real advice before we…
Yankee season is winding down, which means Shannon’s reservation-pulling season is winding down with it. She got us into Gramercy Tavern, a place I genuinely have not been to in years. I mean years years. Wild that it took this long. I wanted to know if it still held up. Walking in, the call to…
Every once in a while a Sunday lines up the way it is supposed to. The weather cooperated, my friend Steve pulled a reservation at 4 Charles Prime Rib, and everyone actually had time to sit down and relax instead of racing through a meal like the check was on fire. 4 of us. How…
Dee and I hadn’t seen each other in a while.

This is the complete guide to everything I ate, drank, and…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. Let me tell you something about Napa that nobody told me before this trip. It is an hour and a half from San Francisco. An hour and a half. In New…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. Let me explain how I ended up here. We had just left the area near the Yoda statue outside of Lucasfilm headquarters. Apparently if you try to lift a Yoda statue…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. I landed in San Francisco, got to my Hotel Emblem, and immediately realized I was starving. Luckily, there was a place nearby called Hamburguesa Bar. From the outside it looked like…
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…
