Ben and I continued our NYC eating excursion this weekend at the Spotted Pig. First thing to know about this West Village gastropub: it does not take reservations and you will WAIT. The first time I tried to get into this joint for dinner (I had been previously for drinks at the bar), there was … Continue reading Cheesin’ for cheeseburgers
I've wanted to check out Vandal for a while now and since we were in the area, it was a perfect opportunity to give it a shot! Check out these pictures! I've never seen a space that looks like this! It's all inspired by street-art culture and the owners (same as the Tao Group) truly captured … Continue reading Brunch at Vandal
If there is one thing Montreal truly does right, it's food. I am in desperate need of a detox after exploring the mouth-watering Montreal food scene (no, but seriously-- since we've gotten back I've bought a ton of fresh fruit and I'm working on eating as raw as possible to recharge my insides!) I've always been a … Continue reading Montreal: Eats
Greetings from Canada! Ben and I journeyed up across the northern border yesterday for a long weekend in Montreal (blog posts coming soon!) I just wanted to share this really cool spot with you guys. We stopped at the Phoenicia Diner on the drive up and while it was slightly out of the way, it … Continue reading Phoenicia Diner and Why You Should Go
Well maybe you do, but I usually do not. Chocolate, cookies, brownies, cake: count me in! Ice cream's simply just the one sweet treat I've never been able to completely indulge in. That being said, I'm always down to give it a try-- especially if it looks like this cone from Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream! … Continue reading We all scream for ice cream! (Morgenstern’s)
I've found my new favorite brunch spot! Joseph Leonard is everything you would imagine in a quaint West Village brunch joint and more. From the location on the corner of Waverly and Grove, to the atmosphere and decorations, to the food- it's an absolute must-try in my book! Joseph Leonard is literally about the size … Continue reading Joseph Leonard
Last night Ben got his first taste of Parm! I've actually been there before (the Upper West Side location), but last night we went to the Parm on Mulberry Street in Nolita. Chicken parm hero lovers of the world, you NEED to head to Parm to get your cheesey chicken parm fix! They also have … Continue reading Parm Perfection
I've actually never made it down to New York City's historic Stone Street. Part of me has always felt that it's just SO far out of the way being that it's incredibly far downtown. Now that I've actually seen it for myself, I understand why people like it so much! How cute is this place?! … Continue reading Stone Street on Sunday
(Speedy) Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo? For those not up on their Shakespeare, 'wherefore' means 'why', so my real question is this: Speedy Romeo, why are you so GOOD? After spending the afternoon in the area, we popped into this Lower East Side joint for dinner last night. The reviews don't lie-- this wood-fired … Continue reading Pizza is my Patronus (Speedy Romeo)
And who doesn't? Mimi Cheng's dumplings are so good I swear they'll change the mind of any non-believer. Today we stopped in to this small east village joint for some delicious Taiwanese dumplings. They're made from scratch and you can watch the pros hard at work behind the counter, which I found super intriguing. Ben … Continue reading Dana Digs Dumplings
