A couple weeks back, CT & I were in the mood for Indian breakfast. One of the best places in Curry Hill for that is Saravana Bhavan. This is where we had pooris back in the spring. We arrived a bit earlier on a Sunday morning this time, so the restaurant wasn’t as busy. I decided to change it up a bit and get a Masala Dosa instead of pooris in order to try something different. After ordering, it came out super quick. Although the dosa was quite large and extended well over the length of the tray, it was [...]

For those of you keeping track, you may remember our dinner at Perry St. to celebrate our two year anniversary. Since that is nothing to shake a stick at, we knew it was inevitable that our parents would have to meet eventually. We decided that a nice restaurant not too far from the neighborhood that wasn’t ridiculously expensive nor too loud would be the best bet. We took a look at “The List” and decided that we were way overdue for a return visit to Maialino. The last time we were there it was one of the first times we [...]

CT & I have been back for from our Panama trip for a little while now and already have a bunch of NYC based posts for you.

I had a voucher for the NY Comedy Club that I purchased from Travelzoo back in March(shortly after their launch party) that was just burning a hole in my pocket. Fortunately the voucher was good [...]

A couple months back, I read on Fork in the Road that Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices would be coming to my neighborhood. While I never heard of Ralph’s before, it is a chain dating back to 1928 mostly located on Long Island and Staten Island(that explains why I never heard of them). I am familiar with Rita’s which is very similar and has locations near where I grew up and also where I went to college. Maybe Ralph was Rita’s brother??? CT and I decided to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Park. While it wasn’t especially hot [...]
