The Smith: A Lincoln Center Restaurant Arrival
The Smith restaurant in NYC has finally opened its doors to a sprawling and handsome new space across from Lincoln Center. For months their expansive front window taunted us with promises of their delicious first-rate casual eats. The Smith has been one of our go-to restaurants in the East Village for the past five years […]
Birdbath Bakery; City Bakery’s superb spin-off on the Upper West Side!
Upper West Side Glenwood residents, your life just got a whole lot sweeter and more pretzel-croissant-ier. City Bakery founder Maury Rubin is opening one of his excellent Birdbaths, you know those small "neighborhood green bakery" satellites at Columbus and 84th Street. The Upper West Side is already flush with baked goodies from Levain, Momofuku Milk […]
Jacob’s Pickles: Diamond in the Rough for Upper West Side Restaurants
What was the most surprising thing about our massive feast the other night at Jacob's Pickles in NYC, which has been open for almost a year now on the Upper West Side? No, it wasn't that our food—ordered from all over the Jacob's Pickles menu—was so good, the huge plates of classic comfort dishes prepared […]
Aquafit Chef Marcus Samuelsson Opens Restaurant at Lincoln Center
In his smart, highly entertaining memoir "Yes, Chef," the internationally renowned Marcus Samuelsson–who, at the age of 24, earned three stars from the Times as Executive Chef at Aquavit, and then went on to open the acclaimed, packed-nightly Red Rooster in Harlem, a Glenwood favorite–does two things especially well. First, he brings to life his […]
Sugar and Plumm in the Upper West Side Brings the Savory & the Sweet
Sugar and Plumm first made itself known to its Upper West Side soon-to-be neighbors late last year when construction began on the 2,300-square-foot space, and a stretch of lavender-ish painted plywood stretched up nearly half the block. Not a little local outrage soon followed, with folks complaining about everything from the mall-ification of Amsterdam Avenue […]
Upper West Side Restaurant AG Kitchen is a Huge Win for Alex Garcia
Give Chef-owner Alex Garcia a lot of credit for AG Kitchen, a Latin-seasoned comfort-food spot, just opened on the Upper West Side: with a crowd-pleasing menu–burgers! tacos! cheese bread! ice cream sundaes!–and extremely reasonable prices, he and his crew could have phoned this baby in (Garcia already runs nearby Calle Ocho), and the neighborhood probably […]
Disappointing Indie Food and Wine at Lincoln Center: An Open Letter
We don't usually post bad reviews of restaurants in this space because, really, what's the point? Unless it's a heavily-hyped place that fails, and fails badly, to deliver on its promise (and/or premise), and so deserves a warning before you go dropping a pile of your hard-earned dollars on a bad meal, it's so much […]
Good Eats near The High Line: Northern Spy, Bark Hot Dogs & Rocket Pig
Several new excellent West Side restaurants open this summer near or on the High Line. Among them, Northern Spy, Bark Hot Dogs & Rocket Pig offer a terrific picnic lunch, dinner, or anytime snack.
Piccolo Cafe: New on the Upper West Side
In an ideal world there would be a place like Piccolo Cafe every few blocks or so, all over town: a casual, all-day eatery with an interesting, varied menu and a kitchen that can crank out solid, satisfying food at a reasonable price. And if said place is as ridiculously cute (in a very tasteful […]
Books of Wonder Kid’s Bookstore: Now With More Cookies! And Bacon!
Is Books of Wonder NYC's best children's book store? Possibly. Probably. Yes, ok: definitely. Because although it's been a bunch of years since we last brought our children to this pretty, airy Chelsea bookstore–it's both New York City's oldest and largest independent children's bookstore–as soon as we walked in the door last week nothing but […]
