Balaboosta opened more than a year ago, but my first visit was only last month. I’ve been meaning to visit ever since they opened, but there’s many delicious distractions in this city, and it wasn’t until I had a mean craving for a lamb burger I found myself there one day with David in tow.

Japadog, the wildly popular Japanese-style hot dog chain from Canada finally opened a location in New York last week, and I have to say I’m hooked. In the past week, I’ve been twice already. A lot of people find the toppings weird, but I don’t get it. We’re not talking jellied moose nose or maggot cheese here, just good ol’ Japanese toppings like miso, nori, and mayonnaise. Pretty benign stuff that’s also freakin’ tasty. MORE »

volcano @ milk bar

Since moving to the East Village from the Lower East Side, I miss being able to grab a pineapple bun on Grand on the way to work. I often forget though that Milk Bar is right in my hood and on the way to the train station as long as I deviate a block or two. Sure, the price difference is massive, but why cry over a pineapple bun when you can have a Volcano?! MORE »
