Retired Burger Hand Model
Picture this: it’s the first full football Sunday of the year. I’m way too lazy to cook, Monday meetings are looming like a hangover, and I need a pick-me-up. The natural choice? Chadwick’s. One: they’ve got TVs. Two: the sound is on. Three: the food is always on point. And if you haven’t realized yet,…
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…
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…
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…
Closing time—time for you to go somewhere else, but you can’t stay in New York. Isn’t that how the song goes? Either way, this marks the final chapter of Becca’s birthday bash. It’s been a blast, but let’s be honest: I probably gained nine pounds in the process and really need some rest.For the grand…
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…
This week’s adventure takes us to Monterey in Midtown, a modern American spot that surprised me in the best way. I think I’m going to start a whole series on birthday prix fixe meals—because honestly, everyone’s sick of the group dinner chaos. You know the drill: half the table wants one thing, the other half…
