When Rita was in town a couple of months ago, we went to Babycakes and I noticed the cute place next door. While outside, checking the menu, Allan, the owner, came to the door to greet us with a big smile. I got a really good vibe off of him and the place, I made a [...]

Florio’s in Little Italy is one of the only restaurants where you can smoke in NYC these days. It’s because it is technically a cigar shop that also has a bar and a restaurant.

The best cheap eats in the city is Vanessa’s Dumpling House, 118 Eldridge Street near Broome Street. Their specialty is the dumplings, but I never get them. I get the Peking Duck Sesame Pancake Sandwich for $2.25. A little greasy but I love it! If I am really hungry I get one of their fruit [...]

Tess is always writing about Free Foods and how good it is. So, today I met up with Rita Seagrave and Nayland Blake and, boy, was she right about that! Everything I ate was delicious. Also, they have a lot of really good options for people who want a gluten free diet.

I took an extra day when I was in Chicago. AJ and I went to the Navy Pier and we had gorgeous weather. Their ferris wheel is nowhere near as good as Coney Island’s Wonder Wheel. We only got to go around once! The Billy Goat Tavern has an outpost at Navy Pier. This place [...]

I have never been to the original Shake Shack because of the humongous lines, but now we’ve got one here on the Upper West Side at 77th and Columbus. After a minimal wait, I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a lemonade. The patties are 4oz so I limited myself to a single. Once you’ve ordered, [...]
