Levain Bakery in NYC: the Home of the Best New York Cookies?
Cookies in New York City Go By Another Impressive Name Levain Bakery needs to be thrown into the mix if you want to have a serious discussion about the best cookies in New York City. Yes, Momofuku Milk Bar and City Bakery are definitely up there vying for the top spot in the realm of New York cookies, but since […]
Baoguette Cafe Adds to NYC’s Lineup of Vietnamese Restaurants
Vietnamese restaurants in New York have enjoyed a surge of press and popularity of late, thanks in no small part to the Bahn Mi, that hopelessly addictive porky sandwich. And no one has jumped on the bandwagon with more gusto–and gustatory success–than Michael “Bao” Huynh, who rapidly and not so quietly has built himself quite […]
T Poutine: Disco Fries in New York City!
Is this the year that Poutine in New York City finally makes it onto our regular late-night snack list? New Yorkers have so far resisted this classic French-Canadian comfort food (the last place that heavily hyped their Poutine, the Inn LW12, closed within six months or so), but Lower East Side newcomer T Poutine clearly […]
Hill Country BBQ, NYC
It wasn’t that long ago that the number of good, authentic barbecue restaurants in New York City was pretty much zero. Today it’s a different story, after a smoked, spicy, saucy tsunami of first-rate BBQ restaurants flooded the town these past few years, led by the likes of Daisy Mae’s in Hell’s Kitchen, R.U.B. on […]
Michael Psilakis’s Gus & Gabriel Restaurant: An UWS Gastropub
Michael Psilakis’s Gus and Gabriel boasts a pretty impressive pedigree for a menu that features Tater Tots, Glazed Riblets, and Chili Dogs. Housed, rather handsomely, in Psilakis’s former Kefi space, the Upper West Side restaurant / “gastropub” Gus and Gabriel is the fourth in Michael Psilakis rapidly expanding mini-empire, which includes his flagship Anthos, […]
Keste Pizza & Vino: A New York Pizzeria & Restaurant
New York pizza restaurants are plentiful, but wonder why there’s ALWAYS a line outside of Keste Pizza, NYC? Does everyone know that chef Robert Caporuscio has such passion for his craft that he’s the American-chapter president of the Associazone Pizzaiuoli Napoletana, the Naples-based organization that certifies pizza-makers? Is it because Caporuscio imported master artisans from […]
The New York City Ice Cream Cart at Cafe Cluny
New York ice cream vending carts are one of our favorite food trends this summer. High- (or middle-) end chefs are setting up artisanal ice cream carts outside their restaurants. And while there have been decidedly mixed results in these sweet treats endeavors–Cookshop’s ice cream cart, for example, is something of a disaster–pastry chef Jacqueline […]
East Village Restaurants’ Permanent Brunch for Breakfast Lovers
New York City brunch served 24/7 is a new concept among East Village restaurants. Your degree of enthusiasm for the brand new East village restaurant Permanent Brunch can probably best be gauged by your excitement over these two words: bacon bar. Us? We couldn’t wait to sidle on up and choose from a half dozen […]
DBGB Kitchen & Bar: Daniel Boulud’s Bowery hotspot
The DBGB Kitchen & Bar is Packed with Partiers Daniel Boulud, it seems, can do no wrong. DBGB Kitchen and Bar, which opened about a month ago, is the celebrated chef’s fifth New York City restaurant, and it is a loud, crashing, resounding success. DBGB is Daniel Boulud’s first downtown Manhattan restaurant appearance. The crowds […]
Union Square Cambodian Restaurant, Num Pang
Num Pang is one of several Union Square restaurants, but here, the main draw is sandwiches! One of the many, many great things about New York City? Not only is the town big enough, diverse enough, adventurous enough to support a food place that sells, almost exclusively, Cambodian sandwiches, but there’s also often a […]
