We took every seat in the place.

I’m writing this up really quickly before dashing to Penn to catch my beloved Acela, but I wanted to make note of the most successful (in terms of attendance) $20/D dinner yet before shoving off to the Cape for nine … Continue reading

A hard night’s fatteh.

Late night hunger pangs got you wondering if there’s an alternative to ordering from Bedouin Tent for the billionth time?  That’s where I was last night, anyway.  I love the Tent, and their delivery times (avg: ten minutes, for pete’s sake) can’t … Continue reading

The Nascent brings Baked goods, coffee to my corner.

Normally I wouldn’t flip over a coffee shop, but this one’s too cool and conveniently-located (to me) not to give a shout out to: The Nascent, located at Bergen St. and Nevins St. in Boerum Hill, has recently begun operations.  Previously, … Continue reading

Nine months and a day later…fifty tales of mystery and exploration.

Last night, I attempted to make a visit to the city’s most prominent (only?) Tajik eatery, Dushanbe.  Regrettably (for them, especially), I found no sign of a restaurant with that name at 1915 Coney Island Avenue – what I did find … Continue reading

Grillin’ ain’t easy.

Taco corrections with a side of pork rinds.

Flying saucer made of beef spotted on 38th Street.

Occasionally during lunch I get ambitious and decide to travel further than the West Village/SoHo West area that seems to dominate my midday dining.  Today, I went all the way up to 38th Street between 7th and 8th Avs. in search … Continue reading

Bushwick observations and gastronomic sensations.

“Bullet Bushwick.”  At least, that’s what my friend Izzy used to call it.  It was usually as a punch line to some kind of commentary about how his financial circumstances would lead him to only be able to afford to live out … Continue reading

Eats, records at EAT Records.

Ever been shopping for records on a hot, sticky weekend day and wish you could just take a quick pause midway through the “J” section and have a bite?  The owners of EAT Records, on Meserole Street in Greenpoint, hope so, … Continue reading

Gut, besser, Gösser.

Last night’s dinner, a group affair at Park Slope’s Café Steinhof, was probably more notable for its beer than its food.  That’s not to say that the food at Steinhof is bad – quite the contrary.  But there’s still a great thrill … Continue reading
