Since we weren’t that happy with our first tasting, our venue asked us to come back for a second one, where the executive chef, Phil, would be present. This experience was much better and I’m a bit more relaxed now.
We started with the Crab Cakes which were still not lump crab meat but tasted much […]

The Place The Place is a cute and cozy space that fits right into the West Village, with a few open air seats in the front. They achieve a good balance between dim romantic lighting and being able to read your menu and see your food. While some of the food was very good, a […]

Carlyle on the Green handles their tastings a little differently. We were invited to have dinner in The Oak Room, the restaurant of their country club, where several menu items overlap with choices you have on the wedding menu. We tried three appetizers, three entrees, and dessert, asked our wonderful server, Andrew, many questions, and […]

My awesome bridesmaids chose Sonsie Sonsie for Saturday night’s dinner for two reasons, Parmesan Truffle Fries and Cashel Blue Cheese Fries. My best friends know that I’m crazy about fries, especially with cheese, and I’ve been on a serious search for a replacement for my favorite Diner 24 Disco Fries, that are no longer available […]

The meal started out well, with […]

Unfortunately, the food is only mediocre but I’m looking forward to this trend growing and I really appreciate this first step that Gusto Grilled Organics […]

I’m not a vegetarian but every once in a while, I meet up with my vegetarian friend Emily for a meal, and to catch up. Today, we squeezed in a lunch in between her classes (she’s an NYU Law student) at Vegetarian Paradise 2 Vegetarian Paradise 2 .
Our waiter came over and asked if we […]

I really wanted to like Ivo & Lulu Ivo & Lulu. They had great reviews and low prices, especially for organic produce and free range game. I tried so hard to like this far, out-of-the-way spot, but by the end of the night, I couldn’t, and the other three girls didn’t seem interested in coming […]

I was really psyched to have lunch with my friend Angie. We both have long restaurant wish lists and were about to knock another off the list together: Jean George’s Perry StreetPerry Street. Their lunch special is two dishes and dessert for $24.
We made sure to choose different items in order to sample more. […]
