Big Apple BBQ in Madison Square Park NYC
The 10th Annual Big Apple BBQ is happening in Madision Square Park, NYC on Saturday June 9th- Sunday, June 10th, 2012. It runs from 11am-6pm. I’ve never been. After hearing that it’s only $8 a plate I’m going to check it out. I haven’t had much barbeque since moving from Tennessee so I’m quite excited. You […]
New York Public Library Exhibit: Lunch Hour NYC
The New York Public Library has an interesting exhibit on the evolution of lunch in New York over time. It features visuals on everything from cafeteria lunches, the famous automats and of course food carts. Drawing on materials from throughout the Library, the exhibition explores the ways in which New York City—work-obsessed, time-obsessed, and in love […]
The Power of the Kale Lobby
In the last few years kale has been everywhere. Every TV Doctor, every magazine, every online publisher are beating us over the head about how nutritious this leafy green is. One quick sampling from WebMD shows just how good it is: One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of […]
Breakfast Food Ideas: Arepas
On most mornings I’ll eat one of four things for breakfast: cereal, yogurt, waffles or maybe oatmeal. Tasty things to be sure but it’s easy to get burned out with the repetition. I like American staples like eggs and pancakes but variety is key. Thankfully after some amazing arepas at Bogota Latin Bistro during Brooklyn […]
RoodonFood and the Most Interesting Man in the World Recommend: Sweets from Foods of India (Sinha Trading Company)
I previously mentioned my love of Curry Express in the Murray Hill (Curry Hill) neighborhood in Manhattan. I’ve just added another stop to that for their excellent Indian Sweets: Foods of Sinha. I like getting sweets at Foods of Sinha because the store is an unassuming walkdown and not overrun with people like Kalustyan’s can […]
Ode to Bodega Fruit Cups
In New York it’s fruit cup season. Well to be honest, they’re sold year round, but you only really notice the awesomeness during the warmer months. We’ve just gotten our first warm patch so I’ve taken note. Fruit cups are available at most every Mom and Pop Bodega. They are usually sold in a couple […]
Britannia Nice Time Biscuits
Britannia Nice Time Biscuits are my favorite Indian biscuit. Not because of taste alone but because of association. It always makes me think of visiting family in Kolkata. At tea time we’d almost always have these biscuits. I love the sprinkled sugar and faint coconut flavor. They also have a fun rectangular shape and crinkled edges […]
Wine Reviews: Thierry & Guy Fat Bastard Rose (2009)
We’re starting to get hot weather which means it’s time to switch from the red wines of winter and fall to whites wines of summer and spring. I went to the local wine store with the intention of getting a wine from their fridge. To the right of dozens of bottles of chardonnay, sauvignon blancs […]
Update: Voskos Greek Yogurt: Honey
I was a little harsh on Voskos last time and a mixed review the time before. Then again, it was the Voskos Greek Exotic Fig flavor. What was I thinking? As a token of forgiveness I tried their honey flavor today. It was fantastic. The sweetness is there but doesn’t beat you over the head […]
Delponte’s Bakery in Bradley Beach, New Jersey – Gluten Free Cookies and All of the Good Things
Delponte’s is THE bakery of Bradley Beach. Seriously. It’s the only one (not counting a Cupcake place). Thankfully though, it’s a really good one. You walk inside and it’s wall to wall baked goods. Over the course of a couple of weeks I tried many items. (Tasty baked goods are a vice of mine). My […]
