Maialino: Breakfast Prix Fixe

I’ve been dying to try Maialino since TT wrote about the maialino, but haven’t been able to find a time that works for everyone.  Fortunately, I read about this deal on Tasting Table, and who doesn’t have time for a nice lingering breakfast?  Well, I don’t have class on Fridays, so why wouldn’t I?  I snagged a friend who apparently doesn’t care about getting to work on time (and who also generously allows me to take a bite of whatever’s ordered, or outright lets me trade if I don’t like what I’ve ordered), and away we went.  The Tasting [...]

Salumè

It’s press-related week – dedicated to a couple of press events or products that I’ve received for review, etc… I know how you all love reading about these I was recently invited to sample Salumè, the newly opened ‘real Italian panini’ establishment in SoHo.  The space itself is gorgeous – a square layout with huge picture windows in front, allowing as much light as there is in the sky right onto your table to illuminate the glorious food.  There’s even a ‘mezzanine’ level of sorts in the back with more windows, a gorgeous chandelier, and excellent light.  I watched [...]

Zucchero e Pomodori

I’m half-Sicilian, on my mother’s side, so I grew up eating an awful lot of Italian, down to the stereotypical pot of sauce (I refuse to call it gravy, ever) on the stove every weekend. So when Mom came to town for a long weekend, I knew she would want to cook, and I knew I didn’t want to let her. I’d rather take her out so we could enjoy the restaurants near home. Of course, we wound up eating at four different Italian places in four nights. Zucchero e Pomodori was the first, as it was very close — [...]

Salumi

Directly following my trip to Peru, I left on a research trip to the West Coast for two weeks.  What was I researching?  Glad you asked: a book on Stadium Eats!  Um, yeah, without a deal in sight currently (hint, hint, anyone reading this who is interested!), I went to preemptively scout out the 6 West Coast stadiums and eat my way up and down the West Coast at the same time, starting in San Francisco, working my way down to Los Angeles, then San Diego, back up to San Francisco and then to Seattle!  Phew!  Tune in at 4:15 [...]

Thursdays with TT: Veloce Pizzeria

Over the past couple of months I have become quite the food blogger. I or (CT) bring a camera to every restaurant we go to. Since Yvo has been busy with school, I am stepping up and will now have a weekly column, Tuesdays with TT. Bon Appetit!
UPDATE: I am becoming a blogging machine, so I will also be reporting on Thursday afternoons for you.
CT has been traveling a lot lately for work. During one of her visits back to the city, we were able to go out for dinner. I suggested we use one of [...]
