Russ & Daughters
179 East Houston Street, Lower East Side, NY 10002When the lights went out and the water came flooding, we couldn’t help but wonder if this could be it. If Sandy were to permanently conquer lower Manhattan, what would we have missed the most? A bagel with belly lox, cream cheese, tomato and capers from Russ & Daughters, the LES institution of smoked fish [...]

Calliope
84 E. 4th St., East Village, NY 10003When was the last time you dined at a French style bistro in NYC? Been a minute, right? And no, Pastis and Balthazar don’t really count. Well, it’s time to mix it up a bit and visit Calliope, a new restaurant in the East Village that’s about as close to a true Parisian bistro in [...]

Westville Chelsea
246 W. 18th St., Chelsea, NY 10011Our love for Westville is well documented. It’s a rare breed of restaurant in this town – a well priced, one stop shop that’s equally reliable for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It’s healthy when you want it to be, but isn’t afraid to get and down and dirty either. It’s also one of the [...]

Diner
85 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211Believe it or not, people used to live in Williamsburg because it was cheaper than Manhattan, not because it was cool. Before the hipster invasion began in the late 90′s, the South side belonged to the Hasidim and Peter Luger. Sure, there were always artists, musicians and .com hopefuls living there, but it was nothing [...]

Mile End
97a Hoyt St., Boerum Hill, NY 11217Welcome to the greatest Jewish thing to come out of Canada since Rick Moranis. Mile End is a Jewish delicatessen in Boerum Hill named for and modeled after the gentrified Montreal neighborhood by the same name, which has a strong Jewish population and apparently some killer Jewish food. Here in Brooklyn, this place has become [...]

Westville
210 W. 10th St., West Village, NY 10014While many New Yorkers rely on coffee and Pret A Manger to get them through the day, I run on a steady diet of cereal, water and Westville. Considering the consistent flow of Westville in my bloodstream, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t complete the trilogy of Westville reviews. The magic that is the [...]

The General Greene
229 Dekalb Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11205We don’t get to Fort Greene much, so before digging any deeper into local favorites like No. 7, Chez Oscar and the newly opened annex of Walter Foods, we first needed to check out this neighborhood’s crown jewel, The General Greene. If this is any indication of the “general” level of deliciousness Fort Greene has [...]

Egg
135 N. 5th St., Brooklyn, NY 11211Before Williamsburg was a hot bed for culinary activity, it was a neighborhood on the rise and melting pot for the arts. As we all know, any respectable home for the scruffy hipster artist types better have a good place for them to congregate, eat breakfast, drink coffee, and talk about how broke they are. [...]
