Desnuda Revisited
Is it possible for a restaurant to do a complete u-turn? Can a leopard change it’s spots? Honestly, I would have answered no, but I’ve been proven wrong. After the debacle that was my first visit to Desnuda (recounted here), I reluctantly returned this weekend. It was a Sunday, so the dollar oysters that had […]

Hill Country
After the restaurant my sister selected for a lunch date turned out to be a complete disaster, I decided to take the reins & choose where we’d eat. After a few suggestions via Twitter, Hill Country in Chelsea got the nod. Once you enter the place, it’s almost as if you’ve been transported to Texas. […]
East Village Underrepresented At Restaurant Week
Restaurant Week (July 11th-24th, so technically not a week) is normally at time when I get giddy like a kid in a candy store, excited by all the possibilities of food I could otherwise not afford. $24.07 gets you lunch & $35.00 will mean a full 3 course dinner, what’s not to love? So, looking […]

Taste Of Nolita Recap
Last week I attended the Taste Of Nolita Food Festival (previously mentioned here) which ran from Wednesday til Friday & featured 7 restaurants & discounts at a few bars in Nolita. Luckily I had the chance to go, so I figure I’d let you know my thoughts on the event. Things kicked off at Asia […]
Taste of Nolita Food Festival
Sort of like the Taste of 7th Street Food Festival that I’ve spoken about before, Scoop St. is bringing us a Nolita version. Honestly, I’ll admit that I don’t know that much about restaurants in the area, but it’s not too far from the East Village & the lineup does look sick. A mere $19 […]
