Big Gay Ice Cream Shop

After our pork-fest at Sa Aming Nayon, we decided we needed something sweet to cleanse our palates. We decided to go for ice cream at the new Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, which was just a couple blocks away. Neither of us had ever gone to the truck, which is usually found in the Union Square area in the Summer, so we said hell to our waistlines! We’re on vacation! Who cares if it’s December and 30 degrees out? While we were waiting to order, one of the owners, Doug, handed us some free samples of a new ice cream [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Sa Aming Nayon

During Christmas break, CT and I stayed in town even though we had a healthy amount of time off from work. We already had a pretty great vacation in Panama over the Summer, so we decided to relax at home and save some money. We did however come up with a shorter list of restaurants we wanted to go to from “The List.” We would have a culinary vacation without leaving the city! There has been a proliferation of Filipino restaurants in Manhattan over the past year of so, which I heartily welcome since our fantastic brunch at Maharlika. One [...]

Bon Chon

As you probably already know, we at Feisty Foodie love Korean Fried Chicken, particularly at Bon Chon. A couple months back, InBundles came out with a deal of $20 for $40 worth of food from the Bon Chon near the Empire State Building. After I bought the deal, I saw the fine print that it was basically only available if you go before 5 pm. With the proliferation of deal websites out there, I have come to the realization that these deals can end up being the proverbial albatross around my neck. It seems most of the deals I purchase, [...]

Chinese New Year at Masak

This past Monday night, Yvo and I were invited to preview the special Chinese New Year’s menu at a new Singaporean restaurant, Masak. Manhattan is definitely lacking in Singaporean restaurants as I learned over the summer at the Singapore Takeout event. I was looking forward to another taste of this “hybrid” cuisine. After arriving, the first thing you see is the very small bar area up front and the tiny open kitchen. It is pretty amazing how chefs manage to work in the notoriously small kitchens that are all too common in the East Village. We started off with a [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Brindle Room

The day before the FBM Holiday Potluck, CT and I had a bunch of errands to run to prepare our place for the festivities, but planned on stopping somewhere for lunch. The burger at Brindle Room has been on our radar for a while now ever since Noah from Law and Food told me it was his favorite burger in NYC. With confirmation from Yvo here, here, and here, we had to check it out and that was a perfect day for it. After walking in, the first thing we noticed is that the restaurant was tiny! I could almost [...]
