The Standard Hotel NYC: New York Hot Spots with Cool Views
The restaurants, bars and clubs of the Standard Hotel NYC, which straddles the High Line in the Meatpacking District, are about as fabulously trendy as you'd expect, given its location; it's of-the-moment design (sleek, shiny, AND retro), and its reputation, both here and in Los Angeles, as being a celebrity magnet. But none of that […]
Rockaway Beach Restaurants: Rockaway Taco and Babycakes NYC
A friend introduced us to Rockaway Beach a few years ago, and from the moment we spread our sheet on the (relatively) clean, soft sand, and dove through (relatively) clear, cool waves, we were totally sold.
The High Line New York Section 2 Opens
NYC's beloved High Line opened its hugely anticipated half-mile extension this week, giving us all 10 more blocks of glorious High Line goodness, including a lovely new lawn, pictured above! We were fortunate enough to get an early afternoon viewing yesterday, and are pleased to report that the extension is every bit as spectacular as the original.
Pop Pub in NYC on University Place
Pop Pub in NYC, a beery new offshoot of the long-time Meatpacking District favorite Pop Burger, just recently opened on University Place, and we couldn't be happier that the Pop people chose this particular stretch of Manhattan to set up shop. Not that Pop Pub serves anything all that spectacular–the Pop Pub menu of sliders, […]
The Dutch in NYC: Chef Andrew Carmellini’s New Restaurant in Soho
Has there been a more eagerly-anticipated opening this spring than Chef Andrew Carmellini's The Dutch in NYC, an impossibly good-looking "American-food" restaurant on a prime corner in Soho? The answer is: no… no there has not… which should come as no surprise, given Chef Carmellini's enviable track record, which includes a Michelin star when he […]
Rockography NYC: New Rock-n-Roll Diner in Greenwich Village
We admit it: when we first saw the signage for Rockography, just opened this spring on the prime Village corner of Sixth Avenue and 13th Street, our heart sank. "Really?", we thought. "Rockography: Eat. Drink. JAM!" ? Rockography's pre-release hype– calling it "John Varvatos meets Cafeteria", and "a more authentic Hard Rock Cafe" (which wouldn't […]
Two New Candy Stores in NYC With an International Flavor: Sockerbit and London Candy Co.
In the past few weeks there's been a bit of a sweet-treat invasion here in Manhattan, as a pair of new candy stores, one Swedish, the other from England, have opened their doors in the West Village and on the Upper East Side, respectively. Now, our philosophy has always been the more candy stores in […]
The Brooklyn Star Restaurant: Terrific New Takes on Classic American Comfort Food
File under: excellent neighborhood spot that, for non-locals, is totally worth the trip. The Brooklyn Star Restaurant in Williamsburg, showcasing Chef Joaquin Baca's artfully updated, seasonally-driven takes on classic American comfort food, was really hitting its stride when a late night fire pretty much destroyed everything, back in February of 2010. It would take more […]
Empellon NYC: Chef Alex Stupak’s New Mexican Restaurant
Chef Alex Stupak was partially responsible for one of our all-time favorite New York City meals, a birthday celebration at the three-starred wd-50 on Clinton Street. At the time Stupak was wd-50's pastry chef, and his creations, which ended a spectacular meal, were as gorgeous, unique, and delicious as our companion. Now Alex Stupak has […]
Kin Shop NYC Thai Restaurant
Chef Harold Dieterle received national renown in 2005 when he won the first season of Top Chef, and then, perhaps even more difficult (and definitely more important), earned local NYC respect when he opened the first-rate Perilla on Jones Street just two years later, which is still cooking to capacity most nights. Late last fall […]
