Kyotofu

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Kyotofu 705 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10019 is a cute Japanese dessert bar (though savory meals are served) with a young feel. They specialize in a Soft Tofu dessert, which is very similar to a Chinese favorite of mine: Do Fu Hwa. It is silky soft with a creme caramel-like effect, [...]

Porto’s Bakery

Tuesday, September 8, 2009

It’s been several decades now since
Porto’s Bakery Location 315 , Glendale, CA 91203 started up.  Originally in a house in Cuba, then in Los Angeles, and now with two locations and over 20,000 sq. ft. of work space, Porto’s is rocking.  And it’s a good thing, too; because when FoodMayhem [...]

Sweet Revenge

Thursday, July 30, 2009

After our lackluster dinner at The Stanton Social, we crossed town to
Sweet Revenge 62 Carmine Street, New York, NY 10014, an interesting little spot, part beer and wine bar, part cupcake cafe. I loved the vibe, an adult cupcake bar, where the cupcakes are suitably more sophisticated, both in appearance and [...]

Brasil Coffee House

Friday, July 24, 2009

We’ve been searching for a new home in Long Island City, where they seem to have their own little coffee chain:
Brasil Coffee House 44-02 23rd Street, Queens, NY 11101. (There is one
location in Manhattan 161 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10016 but I never noticed it.) A [...]

Recess

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Spice, Thai junk, used to occupy this corner on University place. I was glad to see them go, although they moved closer to me, yuck.
Recess 60 University Place, New York, NY 10003 opened up and I didn’t know what to make of the decor. It looks so college rec room-ish that [...]

L’arte del Gelato

Sunday, July 19, 2009

We don’t think very highly of gelato in NY, after being spoiled by the great gelato in Europe. I don’t think I would have tried
L’arte del Gelato 75 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10014 if I hadn’t seen a positive review by Yvo, The Feisty Foodie, which makes her this week’s [...]

The Donut Pub

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

I’ve walked by
The Donut Pub 203 West 14th Street, New York, NY 10011 so many times. I’ve noticed it every time because you can’t miss that big sign, especially when it’s lit at night. I’m not sure why I’ve never tried a doughnut from them, but when I needed to find [...]

Ceci Cela

Saturday, June 20, 2009

When I planned out my visit to La Colombe Torrefaction, a croissant was also on the agenda. A few reviews mentioned that they sourced wonderful croissants from
Ceci Cela 55 Spring Street, New York, NY 10012, but when Lily and I got there Friday afternoon at 2pm, they were out already. I [...]

La Colombe Torrefaction

Saturday, June 20, 2009

This post signifies the start of a new section at Foodmayhem, called Weekend Shout Out! I learn so much from other food blogs so each week, we’re going to feature a post from another blog that I loved.

I’ve had
La Colombe Torrefaction 319 Church Street, New York, NY 10013 on “my list” [...]

Shore Road Bagels and Leske’s Danish Bakery

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Salvatore (of Hom) also mentioned Shore Road Bagel & Deli Shore Road Bagel & Deli, where the bagels are huge. We chose 4 flavors: poppy seed, cinnamon raisin, salt, and everything.

The oddest thing was that each bagel dough was so different. We broke into the poppy seed first and both frowned in disappointment. It was [...]
