You know the trusted friends you turn to when you need a solid restaurant suggestion? In our circle, that’s us … and we don’t disappoint. We know New York City as well as anyone, and have finally decided to make something of it. Our real jobs are in the music industry, which is part of the reason why we’re always out and about. When artists are in town, you want to make sure you’re taking them to the best places so that they get the most out of their stop in NYC. We’ve got shows every week at venues all across the city, and what’s a good show without some good food beforehand?
We’re not real food critics, so you’re not going to hear any pretentious foodie hobnob from us. If you want those kinds of shenanigans, hit up the NY Times, Time Out New York, or New York Magazine and see what the “experts” think. We just like to eat well and advise our friends of where they should spend their money. In a city with so many great choices, is there any reason to eat mediocre food? No dice.
Now that we’ve met, welcome to Immaculate Infatuation. Over the next few months, we’ll be expanding the scope of the site, debuting new features and adding a lot more reviews. Even though we’re just starting out, we hope you come back often and grow with us. Make sure to sign up to the right, as we send out a weekly email newsletter including our latest reviews, exclusive features, and more. Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.

Chris Stang
stang@immaculateinfatuation.com
Originally hailing from the great state of Colorado, Chris Stang moved to NYC nearly seven years ago to chase down a dream job in the music business. Now working in marketing for Atlantic Records, Stang has put down roots and fallen in love with New York City – and the food it has to offer.
The best way to understand the mind of this complex man, is to understand his favorite things. Respectively:
- One Liners
- Deadwood
- (most) Burgers
- Muppets
- “Luchini” into “She Keeps Passing Me By”
- John Elway
- Charlie/Dennis/Mac
Andrew Steinthal
steinthal@immaculateinfatuation.com
Andrew Steinthal resides in NYC’s East Village but often returns to his hometown “The Dale” (Scarsdale) to visit the greatest culinary institute of his upbringing, The Candlelight Inn. He’ll go to bat for “The Light” any day, as they serve up the best wings he’s ever had, hands down. Better than Anchor Bar in Buffalo and absolutely better than anything NYC has to offer (there is a serious wing epidemic in NYC btw, they all suck).
He loves his job, working on the front line of Warner Music’s Independent Label Group. He’s also the Music Editor for the fashion magazine metro.pop. An obsessive sports fan, Steinthal spends a little too much time rooting for the Knicks/Yankees/Jets and monitoring his fantasy teams. The best day of his life will be when the Knicks finally win a championship and he can turn to his great-great-grandson and tell him, “it was all worth it.”
Steinthal logs obscene hours organizing his iTunes, building perfect playlists for all occasions. If he were single, he’d like to believe he’d be as big a pimp as Hank from Californication, his current favorite TV character.
