Tuesdays with TT: Wahoo’s Fish Tacos

Last year, it was announced that Wahoo’s Fish Tacos was making the trip across the country and opening up a location in Manhattan. This news was welcomed by us since we will freely admit that the taco scene in LA is hands down 1000x better than NYC. Fortunately, we are starting to catch up. i.e. great fish tacos at Mermaid Oyster Bar. Once Wahoo’s finally opened back in January, CT & I had to check it out. Of course we gave them a month or so to work out the kinks associated with opening a brand new restaurant. CT and [...]

Barbounia

Everyone has one of those restaurants near their apartment that they walk by all of the time, but never actually have gone to. Barbounia, a couple blocks north of Union Square, is one of those restaurants. In the past when I have walked by, it appeared to be one of those big box restaurants that would not be out of place in the Meatpacking District instead of Gramercy. It wasn’t until recently that our friend, KR said that they have a great brunch that we should check out. As part of a belated birthday gift, KR treated CT to brunch [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Gramercy Tavern

A couple months back, Aunt B found herself traveling to California a lot for work again. That meant that CT and I were lucky enough to dog-sit Scout while Aunt B was away. As an added bonus, Aunt B insisted on treating us to a nice dinner to say thank you for taking care of her child. You may remember some her previous thank you’s at Ai Fiori and El Parador Cafe. The choice of restaurant was left to me once again. Her only request that it be a place more in line with the former than the more casual [...]

Saravana Bhavan

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 [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Maialino

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 [...]
