Silver Krust West Indian Restaurant Review: Crown Heights Food
The other day I mentioned the joys of Conrad’s Bakery, located between Wingate, Crown Heights and Brownsville neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Another noteworthy joint in the vicinity is called Silver Krust, located at 1695 President @ Utica Avenue. Of the at least 2 dozen Jamaican or general Carribean joints spotted during the trip, it was the […]
Conrad’s Bakery Review
I love going out on food adventures. With a free weekend day I decided to check out a small food festival off Utica Avenue on the A/C line. Unfortunately due to crazy rain the festival appeared to be canceled. Disappointed but undeterred from eating awesome foods I followed the flow of human traffic up a […]
Chattanooga Visit: Tremont Tavern and Long Horn Restaurant
Last weekend I visited the town of my formative years, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The reason for the visit was an unhappy one, a high school friend passing away. While it’s terrible to lose someone, the silver lining is that it brought together old friends over drinks and good meals. My friend John, who introduced me to […]
Kohr’s Frozen Custard
If you’re on the Jersey shore you’ll find many fun foods including extra large slices of pizza, lemonade, funnel cake, fudge, pork roll and of course boardwalk fries. Those are all great American foods to have later, but the first priority is to stop by Kohr’s Frozen custard stand. I love frozen custard because I […]
Primorski Restaurant: Brighton Beach, Brooklyn
I took a college buddy to Coney Island and down the boardwalk to Brighton Beach recently. I’ve gotten food to go several times in Brighton Beach but was never bold enough to try a sit down place. Places such as the National looked so ostentatious I assumed every place would be too high end. Bolstered […]
AVS Privilege Bakery Jewish Rye Bread
My general rule is whether on vacation or just on a food adventure in a different neighborhood, to always pickup a loaf of bread. Good bread is hard to come by. During a recent visit to Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn I came across the AVS Privilege Bakery. Their Jewish Rye bread made me […]
Smashed Sesame Red Bean Bun from White Swan Bakery in Chinatown, NYC
I’m a sucker for Chinese bakeries. After meeting a friend for dinner in New York’s Chinatown, the unassuming White Swan Bakery caught my eye. Located on 24 Bowery (Pell/Bayard), they sell a variety of items including cakes, rolls, pork buns, noodles and bubble teas. I didn’t see anything costing more than $5. I got a […]
Lowe’s Eatery: Jamaican Patties in New York, NY
One of my favorite foods is the Jamaican patty. For those unfamiliar, they’re sort of like a turnover with different fillings such as soy, spinach, chicken or most commonly, beef. They’re inexpensive, portable, and handheld – a great option if you need a hot snack on the go. The color of the beef and chicken […]
