Barnyard Cheese Closed Until Further Notice
I passed by Barnyard on Avenue C today and the place is pretty much cleared out with a sign (dated August 2nd) on the door. It seems that they are closed until further notice while work is done on the building. There is nothing stated on their Twitter or Facebook accounts, but the note says […]

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 […]

Vandaag is a Dutch restaurant & bakery that serves dishes from Northern Europe using locally (Hudson Valley region) sourced ingredients. It’s housed in the former […]
