Does Groupon Mislead Customers?
I’m a sucker for those discount deal websites. Yes, I get a dozen emails from them a day, but every once in a while I find something that I’m genuinely interested in. As you can imagine, I lean towards the deals for restaurants in my area. I’ve bought loads of these things and yes, plenty […]
5th Street Deli Opens On Ave. C
Last week, 5th St. Deli opened at 66 Avenue C (sharing the building with Casa Adela) so I stopped by to check it out. I did a bit of research Googling & found out that this was the former home of Azukar Deli. It’s basically your average deli/bodega with a counter offering breakfast, sandwiches & […]
Macaron Parlour
I really don’t know that much about macarons besides that they’re sweet and (if done well) delicious, so I was pleased when the team behind Macaron Parlour invited me to a preview event. Opened by husband and wife team Christine Ha & Simon Tung (both with a baking background), they started out at the Hester Street Fair […]

Brisketlab
I might be a city kid, but I love Texas BBQ as much as the next man. When I heard about this guy, Daniel Delaney & his pop-up BBQ joint Brisketlab, I knew I had found the promised land. After travelling around the country & producing the video blog VendrTV, Delaney found his calling with […]
Why I Love Pete Wells

My dislike of ‘Chef‘ Fieri (real name: Guy Ramsay Ferry) is well known to most. Maybe it’s the stupid haircut, the backwards glasses, his choice of adjectives, his inability to eat with […]

East Village Eats Tasting Tour 2012 Recap
Well it’s that time of year again when I trying to put into words the amazing food that I’ve eaten at Fourth Arts Block’s annual tasting tour. Superstorm Sandy put a wrench in the works, so coverage is a bit later than usual this year, but well worth the wait. As with last year, things […]

It seems that in the wake of Superstorm Sandy (& the Nor’easter currently bring freakishly cold weather to NYC) the city has really pulled together in support of those that lost their homes & livelihood. Russ & Daughters, quite possibly NYC’s most famous appetizing store, will be hosting a Red Cross fundraiser tonight in conjunction with […]
