(Closed) Brighton Beach: Russian Coriander Rye from Grevico Bread
Grevico Bread is a small unassuming store located on a side street off Brighton Beach Avenue. (located at 129-3 Brighton 1st Street). They bake fresh bread daily at their facility on McDonald Avenue and sell it at this store. They have all types of loaves. I asked what types of rye they had. The lady […]
Brighton Beach Brooklyn Adventures: Akkond Russian Dark Chocolate Marshmallow
During my infrequent visits to Bright Beach Brooklyn I like sampling amazing food from the various Russian, Ukraninian, Georgia and Uzbek food places. For chocolates though I love going to Nature’s Delight. Any store that sells chocolates, dried fruits, nuts and spices out of big buckets is okay by me. The store is located at […]
Jubilat Provisions in Brooklyn: Go for the smoked meats, stay for the puffed corn
My favorite place for kielbasy in the area is called Jubilat Provisions located on 608 5th Avenue @ 17th St in Brooklyn. If you keep your eyes peeled in addition to the selection of smoked meats, cold cuts, mustards, and pickles you’ll occasionally spot some interesting snack items. My interest in trying new foods has […]
7th Avenue Street Festival: the Aftermath
We stepped out on Sunday with the intention of a pleasant walk outside. We happily stumbled on the 7th Avenue Street festival while in route to Prospect Park. There are three things I love about street festivals: live music along the way, sangria sold by vendors and the random things stands have for sale. For […]
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 […]
Oaxaca Taqueria: Brooklyn and Manhattan Mexican Food
I love a good taco so I jumped at the chance to use a Groupon at the local New York mini chain called Oaxaca Taqueria. They have locations in Cobble Hill, Park Slope, West Village and the East Village. It’s a bit of a walk from South Park Slope to their 4th avenue location (between […]
Awesome Foods: toasted muffins with butter
One of the simple pleasures of living in the NJ/NY/CT area is the toasted muffin with butter. I got this Banana Nut Muffin at Bagels and Wraps located at 523 5th Ave between 13th/14th in Park Slope Brooklyn for $2.25. I go to this particular shop because there is a curmudgeonly man who works there […]
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 […]
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 […]
