Gong Restaurant: Mostly Tasty Thai in Spanish Harlem

| March 4, 2013

Gong Thai is the most Northern outpost of a unique breed of Fast-Casual Thai Restaurants scattered throughout Manhattan (think Land, Spice, Room Service, ect).  Tucked into narrow and unexpected locations with neon signs and quirky decor, when you patronize these restaurants you are guaranteed to walk out full, satisfied, and with a wallet that is […]

East Harlem Cafe: A Coffee Shop hosting Culture & Community

| January 16, 2013

Perhaps my affinity for coffee shops comes from how much time I spend reading and writing.  I love a place that offers a pretty change in scenery with a relaxed artistic vibe where I can sip latte after latte while being mildly productive from a tablet or laptop.   When I first moved to the East […]

The Perfect Pizza: A Patsy’s Pie

| December 26, 2012

For the first four years that I lived in Manhattan I didn’t have a favorite pizza place.  Sure I had pizza places that I frequented in college (Koronet, anyone? Have you ever seen so much pizza for $2.50?), and had visited Lombardi’s a few times, but I didn’t have anywhere that was really my favorite […]

Where To Find Indian Food in Spanish Harlem?

| December 13, 2012

 Because we live at the Northern end of Spanish Harlem I though it pretty unlikely that an Indian Restaurant would ever open a block from my front door, and I thought it near impossible that this restaurant would serve some of the best Indian food I have had in New York.  If you choose either eat-in […]

Moroccan in the Middle of Harlem: The Kiosk

| November 29, 2012

If you get off the 6 train at 116th St looking for Dinner, from your vantage on the corner you may think the locals only eat pizza, fast food, and Mexican.  But, walk one block West on 116th St a bit past Park Ave, and you’ll find a tiny, unassuming Moroccan Restaurant, Bar, and Hookah Lounge […]

Evelyn’s Kitchen: Spanish Harlem’s Sweetest Sweet Spot

| November 15, 2012

Evelyn’s Kitchen is very close to my apartment, so I have keeping an eye on the storefront for about two years.  Originally set up as a wholesale and catering workspace, just recently the EK team transformed the tiny shop on 1st Ave into a retail storefront with an amazing assortment of baked goods, lunch/dinner specials, and […]
