Every time restaurant week rolls around, I get e-mails asking for advice on where to go. (Please don’t stop e-mailing me for advice. I am truly flattered.) If you didn’t see my little rant a year and a half ago, please read it. I still feel the same way. What I’m really happy about it [...]

Fancy Food Show 2010
Friday, July 2, 2010
The Fancy Food Show at the Javitz Center is a three day affair that comes to New York once a year (also shows in San Francisco and Washington D.C.) I’m always looking forward to trying goods from over 5,000 booths, and still trying to figure out what the right strategy is to getting as much [...]
Casa Carol
Friday, May 14, 2010
Now that you know it was my birthday, expect to hear more about the celebrating. After all, birthdays are all about more eating, as if I could eat any more than usual. Lunch at Eleven Madison Park was an excellent way to kick things off. I was only worried that I wouldn’t be hungry by [...]

Due to fortunate and unfortunate circumstances, I ended up on the same flight to Orlando with Carol, aka NYCityMama. Neither of us were originally scheduled for that flight but prior to the official beginning of festivities, I already had a new friend. We arrived at the hotel with under 20 [...]
2010 DIFFA’s Dining by Design: Table Hop & Taste
Monday, March 22, 2010
The Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) holds a Dining by Design event every year (see our 2009 coverage here). It is a glorious exhibit of dining tables spanning sleek, fabulous, emotive, stark, schematic, thematic, colorful, monochromatic, and inspirational. To top it off, Table Hop & Taste is a 3-hour special, where restaurants set up [...]
Cook.Eat.Drink.Live
Sunday, November 8, 2009
We were invited to attend Cook.Eat.Drink.Live, yet another food event. It seems like these are popping up every other week these days (in NYC). Held at The Tunnel/La Venue, there was a room for wine tasting, a long corridor of food tastings, and two stages with scheduled demos. There was also one room that seemed [...]
New Amsterdam Market
Monday, October 26, 2009
I have been anticipating this month’s New Amsterdam Market, a temporary monthly market, held where the old Fulton Fish market was. The stands focus on local farms or purveyors that source from local farms, with a special focus on meats this time. I knew there were several vendors from Brooklyn, NJ, or upstate NY, places [...]

UPDATE: Brunch will be at Gottino (52 Greenwich Avenue, NYC) at 11am on Saturday, October 17th
Hi everyone!
Way back, when I started blogging, I didn’t really understand what blogging meant. It changed my life unexpectedly and I’m still surprised by it almost daily. One of the greatest blessings that I did not foresee, was that blogging [...]
Ocean Spray’s Bogs Across America (with Duff Goldman and Tyler Florence)
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
I always thought Ocean Spray was another one of those mega corporations, or under some umbrella with 400 other brands. It’s not! It’s a grower-owned cooperative of about 600 cranberry farms, most of which have been growing and harvesting cranberries for several generations.
Plate by Plate 2009
Saturday, October 3, 2009
I was at Plate by Plate, Project by Project’s annual tasting benefit, last night. I was privileged enough to get early access, to watch as the chefs plated their dishes. This is my favorite part, the calm before the storm, when I can watch as chefs are busy, but still have the time to have [...]
