East Village, Raising the Bar
Mixing it up at Bibim-Bar – NYC
10.08.09 | Permalink | 5 Comments
This week’s bar food post, “Raising the Bar: Mixing it up at Bibim-Bar,” is up at Serious Eats: New York. I’ve been eating a lot of Korean food these days because I miss Seoul.
At Bibim-Bar I ate nakji (spicy octopus) bibimbap and chicken basil dumplings with a glass of makgulli (Korean rice wine). Mmm, makgulli always makes the world right….at least momentarily. -

Finding Venice in Chinatown at Bacaro – NYC
I’m leaving Seoul for Beijing in a few hours, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go online safely to write a post, so until then, content yourself with “Raising the Bar: Finding Venice in Chinatown at Bacaro – NYC” on Serious Eats: NY. I get romantic with some cuttlefish in Chinatown.

I have some exciting news. Every Thursday, I’ll be writing a weekly column for Serious Eats: New York called “Raising the Bar” on bar food. (Stomach and liver, don’t fail me now!) If you haven’t seen it yet, the first post went up today. Check it out. I’ll be having an extra drink tonight to celebrate. And if you have any recommendations for bars with unbelievably delicious food in New York, please send them my way. Help from my lovely readers is always appreciated.

Dinner at Fatty Crab – NYC
08.12.09 | Permalink | 7 Comments
The Singapore Chilli Crab Festival used to be my favorite summer food festival. A day of spicy chili crab sponsored by a beer company, what’s not to love?! Alas, the last festival was in 2007 and I’ve been suffering since. I read online they’re now on tour in the UK, so with no New York festival in sight, I made dinner plans with my girls, Ellie and Christina, for some chili crab at Fatty Crab. Chris’ husband, Will, also came along to eat/chaperone. He’s a smart man. MORE »

Tasty Bites & Wine at ‘inoteca – NYC
12.18.08 | Permalink | 8 Comments
I live about two blocks away from ‘inoteca, so I used to go quite often two years ago. But then I got distracted by all the shiny new restaurants opening up in NY, and I forgot about it. A shame, really, because the food at ‘inoteca is just delicious and perfect with a nice glass of wine (or in my case, a bottle). Fortunately, though, in the last two weeks, I got reacquainted with my old friend, and I’m glad I did.
The first time back, I met Ellie for a few glasses of wine at ‘inoteca. We happened to be standing outside of ‘inoteca when we were deciding where to go, and since she wanted to drink wine rather than beer, we ended up at ‘inoteca. The wine list, which is actually a thick book that lists a total of six hundred different wines, is bit daunting; so I always do the safest thing and ask the waiter what he recommends. I usually like a medium body red wine with fruit undertones, and Ellie prefers a more drier wine, so we ended up ordering the 2004 Concarosso, Poderi Foglia ($45) which was a combination of both. It started off fruity and ended on a dry tannin note. We loved it, especially Ellie who took the cork home so she could remember the name of the wine. This especially came in handy when I texted her at one in the morning to ask her if she remembered the name of the wine. Um, yeah, I have a problem, but luckily my friends seem to understand or at least tolerate my crazy behavior. MORE »
