Hot Chocolate & Tea Thievery at City Bakery – NYC
02.09.10 | Permalink | 11 Comments

The City Bakery Hot Chocolate Festival kicked off officially this month, but technically it started the last weekend of January. That’s when I went. I couldn’t wait. I keep saying I’m not a big fan of dessert, but since last month, all I want to eat are sweets. I’m not sure why. I think it may have to do with the fact that I joined a gym. My appetite has been insatiable ever since. Perhaps I need to quit. Or maybe I have to stop watching Food Network while I’m on the bike. MORE »

Cake and Bonbons for Lunch – NYC
01.18.10 | Permalink | 6 Comments

A few days ago it was my birthday. Usually for me, a birthday means cocktails, dancing, and a wretched hangover the next day. This year, as appealing as a hangover sounded, all I wanted was cake, specifically the Coconut Cake from L.A. Burdick that I read about on SE:NY. I’m not usually a cake person (give me a jalebi over a slice of cake any day), but when I saw the post, I made a mental note: Coconut Cake = Birthday Cake Pour Moi. MORE »

Excellent Bites in the Tavern of Gramercy Tavern – NYC

This week I went fancy and had a drink and a few small bites at the Gramercy Tavern. Not the main dining room, the tavern, but that’s still pretty nice in my book. Read “Raising the Bar: Excellent Small Bites in the Tavern of Gramercy Tavern” at SE:NY for more food intel.

Solid Bar Bites at Bar Stuzzichini – NYC
11.20.09 | Permalink | 4 Comments

“Raising the Bar: Solid Bar Bites at Bar Stuzzichini,” went up on SE:NY this afternoon, or should I say, yesterday. (Late night for me as usual.) If you haven’t read it, take a gander. Five stuzzichini (appetizers or small plates) for $25. It’s a pretty sweet deal, especially when grilled head-on prawns, fried artichokes, arancini, and grilled octopus are among the choices. But if that’s not good enough for you, during Happy Hour, you get a free stuzzi with a drink at the bar. See, there are some advantages to being a wino. Embrace your inner drunk.
