Summer RW ’08 – Eleven Madison Park – A Huge Improvement

When I ate lunch during Restaurant Week last year at Eleven Madison Park, I was underwhelmed. But this year, it’s a significant improvement for the food.

Pretty…

As Giulia and I got seated in, I can’t help but be in a moment of awe how everything seems elegant and refined – the high [...]

Summer Restaurant Week ’08 – Gramercy Tavern, The Best RW Experience I’ve Had

When it comes to Restaurant Week, I have learned, after participating nearly four years or so, not to have high expectations whenever I eat out at a RW restaurant. If I did, then I would be disappointed and felt robbed. But Gramery Tavern was the exception when I went there yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon with Giulia.

Lunch Outings at Pampano Taqueria and BLT Burger

For something more NYC-oriented for you, I had two lunch excursions during lunch last week – a solo outing to Pampano Taqueria and lunch with Drew at BLT Burger.

For the past week, I had a major craving for guacamole and I can’t explain why. I remembered from NYC Food Guy about his post, claiming [...]

Breakfast Carb Fest, Chinatown, and Quince in Toronto

[I suggest you get yourself something cold to drink or a bowl of ice cream, because this will be a long read...]

On the second and last full day of staying in Canada, my family hauled our butts early in the morning (at 7 AM) from Niagara Falls to Toronto, which is pretty much an [...]

Upstate NY/Canadian Weekend Trip – Day 1

[Note: Not much of a food post but at least you know what I did in Upstate NY/Niagara Falls]

My journey up North actually started at 2 AM when my entire family hauled our butts from bed, brewed really strong coffee and set out to upstate New York (by car) to go to our first [...]

Cocktails at Pegu Club

I will complete the outing from two posts ago and will go to my Canadian weekend hopefully within a few days. Just bear with me about the latter; I’ll post up in a few days…

Pegu’s entrance

After having a surprisingly good meal at Kasadela an hour or so earlier, we walked from [...]

Greetings from Toronto!

Hideho! I’m actually writing this very short post just to say “Hi!” to you all from my hotel’s public computer. Just to let you know, Niagara Falls’ food does suck albeit expensive. Toronto’s food scene is pretty darn good if you know where you going. Patisseries and bakeries that I dropped in were pretty awesome – [...]

Dinner (Not Drinking, for me at least) at Kasadela

Menus

Last Friday, I went to Kasadela with Giulia, Beth, and Helen for a light dinner before we went to Pegu Club for drinks. Since Giulia and I had a craving for Japanese food on the moderately cheap side this was pretty much it and since this is an izakaya, anyone could start [...]

A (Disappointing) Dinner at Cabrito

Cabrito’s Menu

Cabrito, the former BarFry space where white tiles and the Japanese-inspired tempura that made this place, transformed into a loud, tequila-heavy bar that serves Mexican-inspired street food.

I wanted to try Cabrito just because of the chef, David Schuttenberg, formerly of Fatty Crab. Back when I went to Fatty Crab the [...]
