Worth The Trip

| March 31, 2010

On a recent Saturday in Brooklyn, I was catching up with a friend over lunch. How were things going with her job. What was new with me. You know…gossip. All through lunch I heard, before I head home,  I have to pick up some Roti. What is a Roti? It’s like a burrito but better. […]

Wouldn’t you love to be able to have a neighborhood spot where you can grab a cup of tea, read the paper while enjoying a sinful treat? I know the city is flooded with a Starbucks on every corner, but sometimes you just have to say no. When I find myself on the Upper Eastside my […]

Depressed that I couldn’t afford anything, the girls decided to grab dinner. Walking up East 51st Street, we spotted a cool spot. Cool atmosphere, […]

Paris Without The Jet Lag

| March 4, 2010

After browsing the Sunday Open Houses, my growling belly let me know it was chow time. I was strolling in the West Village and was ready to hit my usual suspect for brunch. Can Cheapeats already be getting in a rut? Why go to the usual when you can try something new? I was really […]
