Barchetta – Reviewed

Cuisine: | Featured in First Bite, Hottest Newcomers, Restaurant, Reviews

These days a chef isn’t just, well, a chef. Some are TV chefs who have a token restaurant or don’t have a restaurant at all. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Ina Garten is a killer cook and she doesn’t own an eatery.) Some have lines of cookware and shelves of their own cookbooks. Others are pure kitchen guys who rarely make an appearance in the dining room, while some manage to be businessmen who build dining empires. But it’s really hard to pin down Dave Pasternack…

Al Fresco Drinking at Gallow Green

Cuisine: , | Featured in Al Fresco Dining, Drink Spotting

If we can’t drink and dine on the waterfront all summer, there’s only one other place we’d rather be — up on the roof. It’s the consummate city experience… clinging onto a cocktail while precariously perched at the lip of a high rise building, peering out at the skyline and down at the bustling streets below. And when it comes to especially chic roof bars, it doesn’t get much better than Gallow Green, located on the very top of The McKittrick Hotel in Chelsea…

Luxe Greasy Spoon Fare at Empire Diner

Cuisine: | Featured in First Bite, Restaurant, Restaurant Spotting, Reviews

The Empire Diner’s reputation tends to precede it. After all, there aren’t too many 1940’s-era dining cars left in New York with glossy, Art Moderne exteriors, which has made it a sought-after city symbol in television shows like “Law & Order,” and seminal movies such as Woody Allen’s “Manhattan.” So it only makes sense that the landmark eatery’s newest executive chef, Amanda Freitag, brings her own star power to bear as a food celebrity on Iron Chef & Chopped…

Toro – Reviewed

Cuisine: | Featured in Hottest Newcomers, Restaurant, Reviews

Anyone who’s eaten with me knows I don’t care much about the scene. It’s not that I’m a hater. I just prefer great food to a great room or cool crowd. Afterall, you can’t eat decor (as they say). So I was a little wary when I walked into Toro opening week to find the 100-seat tapas spot, packed with scenesters, clamoring for a peek of the new eatery and a taste of the food (or at least I was). Housed in the former Nabisco factory, Toro boasts sky high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River. The industrial chic space is outfitted with hanging aged jamon, a bull’s head, plenty of high top communal tables to socialize while you’re nibbling on tapas, and an ivy-covered wall at the rear of the restaurant near the plancha bar, which happen to be the best seats in the house…

Mitchmallows

Cuisine: | Featured in Best Of, Holiday Eats

Marshmallows are something we generally reserve for popping on top of hot chocolate or roasting over an open flame.  But the artisanal, homemade squares at Mitchmallow are delicious enough (not to mention interesting enough) to be eaten out of hand.  There are over three dozen incredibly diverse, multi-layered creations, from Classic S’more, Creamsicle, Sweet Potato Vanilla and Peanut Butter and Jelly, to Wasabi-Ginger, Tempura, Wine and Cheese and even BLT… tomato with bacon!  (That sounds a little scary, doesn’t it?)  And for Halloween, there’s Candy Corn and Green...

The Best New Bites at the Chelsea Market

Cuisine: | Featured in Best Of

Located in the old Nabisco factory, Chelsea Market is a glittering wonderland for gourmands (it should be, considering the landmarked building also houses the Food Network). But even if you can’t score a visit upstairs to hang with Alton Brown and Rachael Ray, a trip down the lower concourse is more than enough to keep your tastebuds occupied.

2013 Annual C-CAP Benefit

Cuisine: | Featured in Eating Events

Not all food events are alike. Some have great food and then there are some leave you with a bad taste in your mouth so to speak. Of course, they’re all for a good cause, which is what matters. But C-CAP’s annual benefit is one of our all-time favorites and not just because the food is excellent. (It is!) This unique organization provide scholarships to underserved youth who demonstrate talent in the kitchen.

The McKittrick Hotel’s Valentine’s Dance

Cuisine: | Featured in Best Of

If you’re looking to spice things up and do something a whole lot different this Valentine’s Day, The McKittrick Hotel is the way to go.    Constructed in 1939, the hotel was planned to be the most luxurious of its time.  Unfortunately, World War II prevented the hotel from ever opening its doors, but after seven decades, it’s being reopened as one of the most original theater experiences in history.  With an interactive performance of Shakespeare’s Sleep No More, you’ll be able to choose your own path and eat and drink plenty along the way.  And after the performance , they’ll be a Valentine’s Day ball with mandatory Jazz-era attire required and plenty of...

Dish Spotting: Willow Road’s Mussels A la Plancha

Cuisine: | Featured in Dish Spotting

Being “new” is the best thing a restaurant has going for it nowadays. Everyone loves to try new things afterall. It’s just human nature. We all like seeing a new movie, staying at a hip, new hotel, or trying a chef’s latest creation. I mean, who wants to eat the same thing at the same haunts week after week?
