One of my favorite go to places for lunch, especially in the cold winter months, is ‘wichcraft. With several locations throughout New York City (as well as Las Vegas and San Francisco), my preference is the one right down the block from Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building at 11 East 20th Street between…

NYC Doughnut Bliss
Does your family have certain traditions that you truly cherish? Traditions that immediately bring to mind thoughts of happiness and bliss? One of those traditions in our house growing up was doughnut birthday breakfast! I would so look forward to anyone’s birthday in our house just so I could enjoy a doughnut at breakfast. If it was my…
Guide to NYC Dining and Drinking
I just stumbled upon this and wanted to share with all of you. It is A Guide To Dining and Drinking 2.0: NYC Edition, put out by the people of Food Network Magazine. I’ve been to some of these places, but not even close to all. Not to say that this is the definitive “where…
Shake? Shack
Every time I walk past Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack in the city, whether it be Madison Square Park, Upper West or East side, or in the Theater District, the line is always ridiculously long. I have a couple of friends that are Shake Shack addicts, so it’s been on my list of places to try. However, I never…
The Spotted Pig
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again! About a month ago, Asheley and I attempted to dine at April Bloomfield’s The Spotted Pig in the West Village with two of our good friends. We arrived in Manhattan way before dinner time, so we took the opportunity to travel around the city for some pre-dinner snacks. By the…
S’MAC
Our outing to S’MAC, short for Sarita’s Marcaroni & Cheese, all started because of a snowy NY day in October. Snow in October? Yup, it was a nasty mess of a day as Asheley and I headed into the city for a concert at Irving Plaza. Many people would be content with just going into the city…
Vanilla Revival
I’ve had plenty of ice cream in my life. I consider it to be one of the major food groups that I should consume on a regular basis. My fiance would probably say I like ice cream a little too much, but c’mon, it’s so darn delicious! And I know I’m not alone. You can…
Belgium vs. Bobby Flay
I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m slightly obsessed with Bobby Flay. I love his shows on Food Network, and I get excited when I’m watching Iron Chef America and he’s the one chosen to battle. Having dined at all 4 of his restaurants numerous times (Bar Americain, Mesa Grill, Bobby Flay Steak, and…
Otto Enoteca and Pizzeria
We all have that “go to” meal… that one thing that we eat time and time again when we can’t think of what else to cook or we don’t have any energy to devote to trying a new recipe or idea. It’s normally that tried and true dish that we can prepare with one eye…
