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…
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…
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…
Let me start by saying this: we came here mainly for the Chicken pot pie. Yes, The Dead Rabbit is (or at least was) one of the top bars in the world. I honestly don’t even know its ranking anymore, but the drinks are still solid, the atmosphere is still buzzing, and the food? The…
Last updated June 2026 I have eaten a lot of burgers. More than is medically advisable. My only regret is not keeping better notes from the early years. This list is not about the trendiest burger in the city right now. It is about the ones I keep thinking about after I leave. The ones…
