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,…
Bar Chuzo NYC Review: From Sports Bar Roots to a Slick Brunch Destination So I finally made it out to Bar Chuzo. It has only been open for about a year, which is embarrassing because I have known the owners for close to a decade. I am a terrible friend. In my defense, Bay Ridge…
Another Friday, another reset, and another restaurant that looked way too good on my feed to ignore. This time it was Estelle’s NYC, and before anyone gets confused, this is Estelle’s with two L’s in the Meatpacking District, not the other one downtown. Yes, I’m convinced the naming overlap is intentional… and yes, someone has…
Folk Brooklyn: When Your Foot Takes a Martini Detour I’ve been eyeing Folk in Brooklyn for a while. It sits dangerously close to my regular walking path, which means it falls into that awkward zone: too close to Uber, far enough to make me debate cardio. All winter I kept saying, “I’ll go next week.”…
One of my buddies hit me up with a comped meal at Le Rivage, and normally, I don’t do comp meals. I’m not traveling an hour and a half for a slice of pizza and a handshake. There are exception,s though. Steakhouses are one. And Le Rivage? That place has a soft spot in my…
Monkey Bar NYC: Hog Salt Does It Again I’ve been a Hog Salt fan for years. Like, ride-or-die, trust-the-process, order-without-thinking kind of fan. Au Cheval, Small Cheval, the Chicago spots, all of it. The only reason it took me this long to get to Monkey Bar NYC is simple: I do not enjoy fighting for…
I’m a little late with this one; this was Halloween weekend, but between traveling and life happening, you’re about to get spammed with a bunch of posts. Consider yourself warned. We ended up at White Horse Tavern in the West Village at around 7 PM. And yes, the correct White Horse Tavern. Be proud of…
So, the boys were in town this weekend, one flew in from Florida, the other made the trek from Pennsylvania, and you know what that means: we needed a good spot to eat, drink, and catch up. You can’t start the night at a strip club every time (well, not every time), so we decided…
When two of my top ten favorites, Gotham Burger Social Club and Smith & Wollensky, join forces for a pop-up, there’s no question: I’m going. I’ve been following Gotham Burger since the early days, from those gritty pandemic pop-ups to their Lower East Side brick-and-mortar, and it’s been a front-row seat to watching a burger…
Yankee season is deep into the playoff push, and while everyone’s losing their minds over wild card tickets, I’m sitting back and watching the prices hit home-run levels. Section 123? $170 before fees. That’s not watching baseball, that’s financial cardio. Over the years, I found a better alternative: skip the stadium chaos and head to…
