Alto has closed, so here’s some postmortem food porn taken from a 4 course. After ordering the 4 course, this was presented as compliments of the chef. I assume it’s some sort of truffle appetizer. Note: I’ve tried to correctly identify the dishes below with their menu names. The names may or may not be [...]
Billed as the World’s First PB&J Art Exhibit, The Nutropolitan Museum of Art is a worthwhile, fun event to check out while it lasts. It’s free to attend and the last day is Sunday, March 6th. Note: The gallery exhibits below were conceived by Lee Zalben, photographed (so well) by Theresa Raffetto, and styled by Patty [...]
Went over to the Doughnut Plant grand opening at Chelsea Hotel. At this point, I have to confess I haven’t trekked over to their original LES location yet. Donut plant is amazing since it shows what you can accomplish by doing one thing well. For a person like myself who is used to Krispy Kreme [...]
Over winter break, I was introduced to the concept of a McPizza. As the name implies, it’s a combination of McDonald’s and pizza. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can use other fast foods for inspiration. Underneath the pizza cheese and chicken nuggets are cut up burgers (one McChicken and one McDouble to be exact). [...]
Haha, I’m such a nerd. Perhaps this post should be on my tmblg or one of those posty things, but I don’t maintain any of those hip reblogging services. I just picked this up at Trader Joe’s at 72nd. I was buying spicy hummus anyways, so this 1337 hummus fit the bill.
Here’s a catch up post for some food in the city. There’s the usual overpriced bar drink in NY. Then there’s the free, all you can drink cheap stuff at luxury retailers on 5th Ave. Fashion’s Night Out 2010 was the latter. Getting free drinks in Zegna, Versace, etc. while in said stores is simply [...]
Went to Governor’s Island this past Sunday. While I had heard there was a food truck festival, Parked, this weekend, I didn’t make the connection that it was *this* Sunday when I went to check out the island. There were long lines to get onto the island, and then there were the long lines for [...]
More restaurant week goodness in NYC. The lobby had a bar area and two live musicians, including a pianist. The menu comes with details of the restaurant’s namesake While this photo may appear to have large portions, it really was a small amount. This dish was flavor packed and the lamb sausage helped balance out [...]
Restaurant week is a great chance to go to places that you wouldn’t go to normally. Case in point: The Russian Tea Room. This is a famous NY destination known for their decor. I’m not quite sure what the name of this guy riding a rooster (?) is called. I do find it very amusing [...]
What a hot, hot time to be in NY. With a record breaking heat wave over this 4th of July weekend, it was a good time to seek out some quality BBQ. Below are photos from the northern tip of Manhattan to the southern coast of Brooklyn. This first shot is actually from the Big Apple [...]
