NYC Restaurant Reviews | Steakhouses, Burgers & Bars
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…
Getting reservations here is a nightmare. Shannon pulled them anyway because that is what a BFFL does. Bar Chimera sits inside 550 Madison Avenue, the same building as Cote and Sushi Yoshitake, and if you have spent any time at either of those restaurants, you already know what you are walking into. This hospitality group…
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,…
It’s that time of year again. The smokers are fired up, elastic waistbands are being quietly selected, and the Jeff Michner Foundation BBQ Benefit is back on April 25th at Pig Beach Queens. I’ve been a couple of times already, and it’s always a full-blown meat carnival. We’re talking 25+ food stations, top-tier BBQ talent,…
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…
Lately, my feed has been flooded with clips of people raving about Danny’s NYC, so with a free weekend and a social battery running on fumes after three straight weeks of birthday parties, I decided to treat myself to a quiet solo meal. Of course, “quiet” rarely happens in NYC, but I figured a bar…
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…
