NYC Restaurant Reviews | Steakhouses, Burgers & Bars
Reviews of my favorite type of cuisine. Steakhouses have steak, and I love a good steak
Fourth of July weekend, half the city fled to the Hamptons, and Shannon and I took full advantage of the empty reservation slots that opened up as a result. Post-Yankee game, we struck. Cote is one of my top restaurants in this city. Full stop. I would never pass up a reservation. It is a…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. The second night in San Francisco ended up at Osso Steakhouse for both happy hour and dinner, which honestly turned out to be a pretty solid move. And yes, before anybody…
This is part of my 72 Hours in San Francisco food and travel guide. Read the full series for every stop on the trip. For my first dinner in San Francisco, my friends managed to pull off what felt like a minor miracle and score a reservation for four at House of Prime Rib. If…
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…
There are some days where you just need a reset. Not a spa day. Not yoga. Not somebody telling you to protect your peace. You need a steak, a martini, a Yankees game on TV, and a bartender who understands the assignment. That is how I ended up back at Chadwick’s in Bay Ridge. If…
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…
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,…
Now that baseball season is back, and the Yankees are playing, the crew is back in rotation. That means I finally get to bring people to all the spots I have been hyping up like a lunatic. First stop, obviously, Golden Steer Steakhouse. I locked in that reservation over a month ago. Minor heart attack…
Another Friday, Another Rescue Mission Well, it’s another Friday, another rough week, and another excuse to try a new restaurant. This time, I checked out CarverSteak NYC, which literally opened on March 20… so yeah, you’re getting this basically next-day intel. I had high hopes. Last week was a miss (looking at you, Estelle’s NYC),…
