The Best Chocolate Cake In the World
There’s a difference between engaging in a little good-natured hyperbole, and raising expectations waaaaay beyond your ability to deliver. Sadly, the Best Chocolate Cake In the World, a tiny, fussily-designed bakery and cafe recently opened in Nolita, lands firmly on the wrong side of that line. Seriously: if you’re going to name your shop […]
Crif Dogs vs. Bark Hot Dogs, for the title of best hot dogs in NYC
Summer really kicks into high gear this weekend, the Fourth of July three-day (four-day? more-day?), and so naturally our thoughts turn to sandy beaches, late-afternoon naps, family outings, and… New York City hot dogs. Yup, every year around this time the craving kicks in for good ol' fashioned frankfurters, simply dressed or sloppy with toppings. […]
SPiN NYC Table Tennis and Social Club
If you're looking for a little indoor (read: air conditioned) recreation this summer, the plush and lively SPiN NYC table-tennis social club is an excellent option for an afternoon–or, better yet, night–of fun for ping pong players of all levels of ability and seriousness. Located in the Flatiron District and featuring 16 championship-caliber tables, a […]
Five Napkin Burger on the Upper West Side
Five Napkin Burger's been packing in the usual Upper West Side suspects–families with little kids, packs of teenagers, fifth-date couples, old-timers, late-night solo snackers–since it opened in February on a prime corner of 84th and Broadway. And no surprise, really, that it's a popular choice. Not only does this friendly, casual "neighborhood restaurant" (read: upscale […]
Bee Desserts and Cafe NYC
There are two excellent reasons for stopping by Bee Desserts and Cafe, newish in the West Village, anytime between right now and, say, late October. First, this laid-back, Brazilian-infused bakery and casual-food cafe has a lovely garden out back, with rough-hewn benches, tippy chairs, odd little sculptures, and good-looking patrons who seem like they've been […]
Momoya Sushi NYC on Amsterdam Avenue
Every neighborhood needs a go-to sushi spot, somewhere you can rely upon time after time to deliver generous servings of pristine fish at a reasonable price in a comfortable environment. When we lived on the Upper West Side, that spot became Momoya Sushi NYC, on Amsterdam Avenue near 80th Street, which opened in the fall […]
Torrisi Italian Specialties NYC
Call us bandwagon jumpers-on if you want to, but we'll just come out and say it: Torrisi Italian Specialties NYC is serving some of the best classically prepared Italian food in the city right now. The cozy, casual deli-by-day/fixed-menu-restaurant-by-night spot opened its doors about six months ago on the northern edge of Little Italy, a […]
Popbar NYC: A New Frozen Treats Shop
It's popsicle time in New York City, apparently, with pop shops popping up all over town. First there was People's Pops in Chelsea Market, then La Newyorkina at the Hester Street Fair, and now, on a bustling stretch of Carmine Street in the West Village, comes Popbar NYC, an open festive little parlor that's […]
Kenmare NYC: Chef Joey Campanaro’s “New” Restaurant
We've never had the opportunity to try Chef Joey Campanaro's food at the tiny, romantic, always-hopelessly-booked Little Owl. Securing a reservation there to sample his famous sliders and porkchops, even one month out, has so far proven elusive. Enter Kenmare NYC, Chef Joey Campanaro's newish, super-sceney restaurant between Soho and Nolita, at which we […]
Amazing 66: The Best Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown?
Is Amazing 66 Chinatown's best Chinese restaurant, non-Dim-Sum division? Well…who knows, really. Just sampling all of the options would require more nights out than we can budget to such a quest. But we will say this: for four-plus years this scrubbed-clean, brightly-lit, modestly-sized, massively-menu'ed spot has been packing in the crowds, usually large groups of […]
