  • Nam So'n

    Two of my bridesmaids, Sara and Angie, went with me to check out a store for bridesmaids dresses. We were already in Chinatown so dinner was easy. We decided on a Vietnamese restaurant that Angie and Sara frequently visit, Nam So'n.As I went to the bathroom, Sara and Angie picked out all the things they wanted to eat which mounted to four dishes so when I got ...

  • Sorry We Were Down...

    As many of you might have noticed, our FoodMayhem web site was not working for the past two days. For that we thank our horrible, now EX-web host, OC Hosting / Velocity Networks. They merged or something and managed to completely screw up our hosting and e-mail. We are now with a new web hosting provider, Hostmonster. We'll see how this works out.Thank you for your patience and for those of you who first let us know about the problems!...

  • Italian Village Pizzeria

    We were actually planning to have Steve and Yael over for dinner last night. I had planned an Asian style meal of Curried Carrot Soup, Beef Skewers on a bed of Fried Rice, Garlic Baby Bok Choy. I was in the middle of cooking when Lon and I started to smell a toxic odor. It turns out that the neighboring apt was staining the floors. We tried opening all of our windows and thought maybe the smell would go away. An hour later, I was developing a headache and Lon was nauseated. I was basically done ...

  • Brunch at Taco Taco

    My friend Stephanie introduced me to some new running buddies who are actually more in to brunch than running but hey, can't blame them. We met at Engineer's Gate and ran the inner loop (4 miles)...

  • Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

    Hey, it's Thanksgiving and I love pumpkin cakes, breads, and rolls. I don't like pumpkin pie though. For me, it's the texture. Pumpkin pie is like a wet custard and it's usually ultra sweet as well. For a nice and easy quickbread recipe, try this Pumpkin Cranberry Bread. I didn't have two 9x5 loaf pans so I used one 9x5 loaf pan and one 8x8 square glass baking dish. I removed the 8x8 baking dish from the oven at 40 mi...

  • The Cottage

    With very few exceptions, I don't eat Chinese food outside of Chinatown or Flushing. There is a very good reason for that. Most Chinese restaurants scattered across Manhattan are awful and basically inedible.Lon was craving dumplings so we took a chance and tried The CottageThe Cottage. T...

  • The Sweet Spot

    On Wednesday I attended a great candy, chocolate, and gum showcase called "The Sweet Spot", featuring hot trends and new products in the candy world. It was a well organized show, broken up into areas or rooms based on how one would use each product. It was a great idea because with over 70 products, it would have been way too overwhelming and hard to remember any information. We were brought through the rooms on a tour where our guide briefly described products and we sampled any that caught ou...

  • Dekk

    Dekk Dekk is a prototypical TriBeCa restaurant. The benches against the wall look like they were saved from trash collection and restored. Various walls receive projections of weird images that are half broken computer and half video game. The menu is sparse and slightly over priced. Now that I've got the bad out of the way, let's talk about the good: the food and the service.- Continue reading "Dekk"

  • Craftbar

    I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at CraftbarCraftbar, the casual sister restaurant to Craft. It's a great central location to meet a friend (that friend being Chrissy) to catch up. You can have a full meal or snack on a wide selection of meats, cheeses, snacks, bruschettas, and of course choose from a large wine lis...
