1 Night in Miami
I'll be in Miami for the first time tomorrow night and would love to try something distinctly Miami. I live in NYC, so I want something that is absolutely the best in Miami. Thanks!
Help - My office moved to 35th and 8th!
Unfortunately my company recently moved from beautiful DUMBO Brooklyn to the soul crushing Penn Station area. Are thought on where I can get some decent lunch food??? Thanks!
Foodie Tourist
I'll be visiting San Fran from NYC for 4 days and would like to get to know the culinary side of the city (but unfortunately on a budget). I'll be splurging on a meal at Chez Panisse, but then would like to keep to restaurants with entrees under $20 or great street food. I'll be staying in Japan Town, but would like to explore. Any must eats or recommendations? Thanks!
Soul Food in Harlem?
Thanks! I saw the show you mentioned 'Throwdown with Bobby Flay' on the Food Network. Melba beat Bobby Flay. I'll def take a look at the options, thanks for the advise!
Soul Food in Harlem?
I'd like to have some great soul food in Harlem this weekend - esp. chicken and waffels. Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Ici - Brooklyn
For upscale eating Blue Ribbon in Park Slope is great. I've also heard from other food lovers Applewood and Brooklyn Fish Camp (both Park Slope) are great. I tend to go more 'cheap eats' and love Olive Vine which is BYOB in southern Park Slope, Dumont in Williamsburg has fantastic burgers and mac and cheese. Flatbush Farm is terrific as well.
Ici - Brooklyn
There are so many fantastic restaurants in Brooklyn - it is certainly worth the trip. I think that is part of the frustration - to spend a decent amount of money on bad food when so many other restuarants in the Borough are superb.
Ici - Brooklyn
I went to Ici in Fort Green last night for a Brooklyn restaurant week dinner. It was awful! The food was boring, pretentious and under flavored. I ordered the shrimp to start and what arrived was one small shrimp on a bed of cole slaw. The pork shoulder was slightly tough and the grits completely bland. I had to ask for salt and pepper to make it at all tasy. The chocolate tart was also a dissapointment. The wine recommendation was completely off as well - the wine was cloyingly sweet when we requested a dry white. Although the space if beautiful, the meal was a complete waste of money.
Chocolatiers in NYC?
Kee's chocolates on Thomson St. near Spring has fantastic chocolates - much better than Jacques Torres. They are hand made every day and have a range of flavours such as creme caramel and balsamic
