Harvest Buffet

14 Northern Blvd.Great Neck, NY(516) 498-1888 Continuing in the vein of gluttony, I also recently had a chance to revisit Harvest Buffet, a delicious buffet that unfortunately, for those of us who live in Manhattan and have no car, is just impossibly far.  It’s on Northern Blvd, that incredibly long stretch that runs from Astoria all the way into LI and keeps going, right after it goes into LI- just out of reach for me.  Well, I have a sister with a car who loves me, so off we went one Saturday (on “business”, you understand) to check the quality [...]

Ulysses’ All You Can Eat Sunday Brunch

58 Stone Street NY, NY 10004 Some bunch of Sundays ago, I lazily stretched myself out of bed and thought, “I don’t feel like making brunch.” BF doesn’t cook (though he’ll swear he does, he’s a one trick pony, that trick being of the sort your arteries take years to forgive you for), so I recalled that there was a pub nearby that does “UNLIMITED BRUNCH” on Sundays. I’m a glutton. Off we went. The thing that struck me about this place- well, honestly, my coworkers and I come here fairly often to grab an after work drink, or to [...]

Kitchen Safety

There couldn’t be a better time for this, so here it is: BE CAREFUL IN THE KITCHEN. Everyone on TV makes it look easy, and so many blogs out there tell you how easy lots of things are to make, and they are easy! But you always have to pay attention, and be careful. It’s common sense, but I am taking this moment to let you know because I hurt myself in the kitchen the other day. I am by no means a “seasoned professional” or anywhere near a professional (I have never been paid for my cooking services!). I [...]

Almond Flower Bistro

I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical when this month’s random pick for dinner was Almond Flower Bistro.  It sounds so… Chinese, and don’t get me wrong, I love a good dinner at a good Chinese restaurant any day, but that’s generally not what we aim for (although I’m not sure what we aim for anymore…).  I have great Chinese dinners with my family, they know what to order.  In any case, I was more perturbed when the location- Bowery, between Grand & Hester- was revealed.  That’s the edge of Chinatown.  Almond Flower Bistro received good reviews from [...]
