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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

I have to admit, going to Harlem Food Bar was not my idea. Though I have walked by it many times and thought that the atmosphere and the outdoor patio were fun and inviting, I’m not the type to pick a burger/salad joint, ever. However, since my dinner companions were two boys whose tolerances for […]

One of the best parts of the culinary revolution that is happening on Fredrick Douglas Blvd, north of 111th St, is Weekend Brunch. Melba’s Restaurant, a FDB pioneer since 2005, serves American Comfort Food (with a few healthy options sprinkled throughout), and their brunch offerings are generous and extremely affordable. After a leisurely walk across […]
