Classic Italian-American Heroes – NYC

It’s rare I have a hero craving, but when I do, my two go-to places are Defonte’s of Brooklyn and Faicco’s Italian Specialties. If you were wondering, this isn’t a Bite vs Bite. It would be hard to compare since both are good in different ways. Whether I go to one or the other really depends on my mood… MORE »

My Donut Pub Addiction – NYC

09.29.11 | Permalink | 9 Comments

There are many fancy doughnut shops in New York, but sometimes you just want a doughnut, no fuss, nothing complicated, just simple and sweet. Those are the kind of doughnuts you’ll find at The Donut Pub, a 24/7 doughnut shop operating on 14th Street since 1964. It’s the kind of doughnuts you imagine cops to eat, and in reality, they do. Two weeks ago, I saw two of New York’s Finest at The Donut Pub on a pick-up. I’m not sure which doughnuts they got, but here’s my top five. MORE »

Doughnuts (D’uh) at Dough – NYC

08.25.11 | Permalink | 13 Comments

There’s been a lot of hype about Dough recently. So much so in fact, one Saturday, David and I rented a car and took a ride over to Clinton Hill (by subway it would have taken 40 minutes one way). Was it worth it considering Doughnut Plant is a few blocks away from my apartment? I’d say yeah, not HELL YEAH, but definitely yeah. MORE »

Bibimbap Burger at Social Eatz – NYC

Why is this called a “Bibimbap Burger“? Bibimbap (비빔밥), as you all probably know, is a Korean dish of rice, vegetables, and meat that is mixed with a gochujang (고추장, red pepper paste) based sauce right before eating. “Bibim” means mixed, and “bap” literally means rice, but can more broadly mean food or meal. There are no set rules what goes into bibimbap or bibimbab, but most commonly you’ll find rice, vegetables, beef, an egg (sunny-side up with a runny yolk), a dollop of gochujang sauce (usually a combination of gochujang, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil), and a good drizzle of sesame oil.

Lobster Roll at The Lobster Place – NYC

06.27.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Faicco’s Pork Store is closed on Mondays. How do I know this? Well, I went there today for lunch and was greeted with a closed sign. Hello Monday! I didn’t have much time to go elsewhere, so I went two stores down to The Lobster Place for a Lobster Roll ($16.95), lobster salad with celery, mayonnaise, lemon-pepper seasoning, and scallions on a toasted split-top bun. Coleslaw and potato chips come on the side. MORE »
