Little Town NYC

I couyld eat oysters pretty much all day long, so it’s no surprise that I was looking forward to a meal with my Mom at Little Town NYC. Opened in April 2011, it’s basically a 72 seat mecca of local beef, shellfish & beer.  All of the shellfish & beer are from New York State & Hudson […]

Totto Ramen

It’s no real secret that I’m a huge Ramen fan, but I don’t often venture far out of the East Village.  A few weeks ago, I was going to a show at Terminal 5, so it was the perfect opportunity to head uptown & check out Totto Ramen.  I’ve heard horror stories about massive lines […]

Cinco de Mayo Derby at Idle Hands Bar

If you haven’t been able to deduct from the title, tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo and also the Kentucky Derby.  Cinco de Mayo is normally seen as a celebration of Mexican pride & heritage or the anniversary of the unlikely win at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.  For a non-Mexican like myself, it’s normally […]

Sa Aming Nayon (Closed)

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no expert in Filipino food, in fact, my visit to Maharlika last year was the only time I’ve ever tried the cuisine.  I had heard good things about the food there & was feeling adventurous had a coupon to use, so I decided to give Sa Aming Nayon […]

Brunch at The Cardinal

I’ve been eating a lot of Southern & Soul food lately, helped in part by a bunch of new restaurants springing up in the East Village.  The Cardinal opened in late August 2011, but I never got the chance to eat there till now.  Located in the space formerly held by Thai restaurant Amaya, they’ve […]

Puddin’

There’s something about a good dessert that you just can’t forget. Maybe it takes you back to your youth or just fills that gap that you never knew you had.  Puddin’ on Saint Marks St has an awesome combination of both of these attributes & chef Clio Goodman has hit the nail on the head […]
