Bowen’s Island Restaurant
1870 Bowens Island Rd, Charleston, SCThis past weekend, I found myself in Charleston, South Carolina for a bachelor party. Unfortunately for Immaculate (and my health), this trip was centered around debauchery, not of the culinary type. Although we sampled Bud Lights at pretty much every bar downtown, our crew of 14 wasn’t exactly presentable enough for the likes of Husk [...]

Brushstroke
30 Hudson St., Tribeca, NYWe’ll admit it. Our preconceived notion of what Brushstroke was all about happened to be dead wrong. We knew it was a David Bouley restaurant, and therefore had visions of older couples half asleep at the table, eating sushi without saying a word to each other. In our heads this was going to be a [...]

Takashi
456 Hudson Street, West Village, NYThe West Village can be pretty predictable these days. The majority of the restaurants in this area will either make you a) pissed that you weren’t born to live a life of leisure, or b) jealous that your neighborhood isn’t full of sickeningly cute French cafes. Don’t get us wrong, we love spending our mornings [...]

Aburiya Kinnosuke
213 East 45th St., Midtown East, NYFrom what we’re told, this is an authentic Japanese establishment, all the way down to the robata grill. We can’t vouch for its authenticity, nor are we sure that a robata grill isn’t something from the Sky Mall catalog, but we do happen to agree that this place is damn good.

Kanoyama
175 2nd Ave., East Village, NYA diamond in the rough sushi find. This is some of the best fish you’ll find for the money in Manhattan.

Hospoda
321 E. 73rd St., Upper East Side, NYIf there’s such a thing as “fine dining for dudes”, we’ve just discovered it. Welcome to Hospoda, an upscale Czech restaurant that’s just as much a beer hall as it is a culinary destination. There aren’t many places in this city where a guy can order a light beer with his three course meal and [...]

St Anselm
355 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NYTweets, emails and phone calls have been coming in fast and furious recently, demanding we get to St. Anselm immediately. When the Infatuation Nation speaks, we listen. Same goes for The Underground Gourmet, one of our most trusted sources, who have raved about this place. Even though it’s only been open for a couple months, [...]

Má Pêche
15 West 56th Street, Midtown, NYOK, we’ll admit it. We were a little hard on Má Pêche the first time around. At first, it was a let down. David Chang opening up a Midtown restaurant in our daytime backyard was a little too exciting. When it didn’t live up to our sky high expectations immediately, we were quick to judge. [...]

Tori Shin
1193 1st Ave., Upper East Side, NYYou know what’s amazing about New York? The fact that you can live in a neighborhood for almost five years and have absolutely no idea that there is an incredible hidden gem of a restaurant just down the street from your apartment. You’ve probably walked by it countless times, never even noticing that it exists [...]
