Freemans
End of Freeman Alley, Lower East Side, NYIt’s painful going back and reading a lot of the reviews I wrote two and a half years ago, especially this one. Freemans was not only the first review ever written for this website, but my first stab at a restaurant review period. There was nothing Immaculate about my writing skills back then. Although its [...]

Maialino
2 Lexington Ave., Gramercy, NYAbout a year and a half ago, we wrote up a less than glowing review of Danny Meyer’s then brand new Roman trattoria, Maialino. We had high expectations due to Meyer’s flawless record, but flaws were found, and verdict was levied accordingly. Steinthal actually compared the place to every great band’s worst album. Ouch. But [...]

Char No. 4
196 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NYChar No. 4 is essentially our New York City dream house – a warm, inviting space with a wall of bourbon and a smoker. This is Southern influenced food in New York City, and it’s damn good.

The National
557 Lexington Ave., Midtown, NYRestaurants get after us online all the time. They try and lure us in for a review by telling us how great they are over and over again, most with wreckless disregard and absolutely zero tact. Restaurants that agressively hustle to get people like us in the door to write about them generally suck. That’s [...]

Cookshop
156 10th Ave., Chelsea, NYThere aren’t many restaurants in New York City that you can count on for an excellent meal regardless of circumstance, and this one is certainly among the few. Breakfast, brunch, and dinner are all amazing, and that Cookshop needs to be on your list.
