Butter Lane Cupcakes: the best cupcakes in NYC?
It’s been almost two years now since Butter Lane Cupcakes added their icinged-up little beauties to the East Village block (7th Street between First and A) that’s become somewhat renowned for its eateries of focused excellence, from the roasted pork sandwiches at Porchetta and lobster rolls at Luke’s to the ceviche at Desnuda and the […]
Xiao Ye NYC: Taiwanese Street Food on the Lower East Side
We couldn't help but think of David Chang and his now-mighty Momofuku empire when we grabbed a few quick bites at Xiao Ye in NYC the other night. Located on Orchard Street just below Houston, Xiao Ye is the new Taiwanese street food joint from the young, opinionated, and undeniably talented Eddie Huang, whose tiny […]
Community Food & Juice NYC
For a little while there, Community Food & Juice was our go-to spot whenever we were up in the Morningside Heights / Columbia University area. With its comfortable, convivial room and a menu filled with simple dishes, made with fresh ingredients, consistently prepared with care, this uptown outpost of the great Clinton Street Baking Co. […]
Vapiano Restaurant: Brand New “Fast-Casual” Italian Near Union Square
They are all over Europe, these almost-tacky “fast-casual” Italian spots (we like the tree and the seating and the shape of the bowls; the red chandelier and the signage, not so much), and Vapiano, Inc., has made inroads in America, popping up here and there on the East Coast over the past couple of years. […]
Fatty ‘Cue in Brooklyn: the best barbecue in NYC?
We've been huge Chef Zakary Pelaccio fans for a while now, ever since his first-rate Fatty Crab brought the full Malaysian funk to the West Village/Meatpacking District in 2006. Last year the excellent Fatty Crab UWS proved that Pelaccio could transport his intense flavors and energy to the usually-play-it-safe, family-friendly West 70s, with no loss […]
Cake Ball Truffles at Momofuku Milk Bar NYC
We were a little worried, to tell you the truth, about Momofuku Milk Bar Bakery, one of our favorite sweet-treat spots in all of NewYork City. Ever since a huge upsurge in demand (mail order; the new midtown operation adjoining Ma Peche) forced the wildly, wonderfully inventive Chef Christina Tosi to move her Momofuku baking […]
The Green Table NYC
On any given day there are a dozen excellent reasons to walk through the Chelsea Market, Manhattan's most successful attempt, by far, at creating the ideal urban mall. The "warm industrial" design of the common spaces, the waterfall, the ample seating; the near-perfect record in interesting store curation through some 13 years of growth and […]
5 & Diamond Restaurant NYC
Chef Ryan Skeen is as famous for his aggressively-flavored, meat-centric cooking as he is notorious for his too-public battles with owners and partners and other chefs and, um, everyone else in the world. We loved the fatty, offal-y delights at Skeen's Resto, for example, and his flap-meat burger at Irving Mill is the stuff of […]
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. […]
