Brindle Room

As much as I hate to say someone else is right, well, Noah was right.  The Brindle Room burger is really good.  I’ve been there quite a few times and have enjoyed it each and every time, so it’s not a fluke that I love it.  I recommend it via Twitter quite a lot, too, and I’ve yet to have someone come back and tell me it was bad.  AND it’s now available for dinner as well as lunch, making it more accessible for me to bring people to eat there… which brings us to this post.  I wanted to [...]

The Meatball Shop

Through this blog, I meet so many awesome people – one such person being Sarah of Fritos & Foie Gras.  As soon as I saw her blog name, I knew we were destined to be besties, because those are two of my favorite things in the world.  I had to hide my “WE ARE MEANT TO BE FRIENDS” from her for a little while because 1- usually people freak out when I say that, and 2- because, as StB will attest (and yes, I am still friends with her, though she’s not appeared here for months, it’s because I haven’t [...]

Brindle Room

You may or may not have heard that I’m on a Restaurant Hiatus – that’s right, for all of July & August 2011, I won’t be eating at restaurants.  The finer details are very much an “I’ll know it when I see it” type of thing, like Congress & porn, but ice cream for sure is totally allowed.  I’ve got lots of posts in the bank to last y’all through (and I intend to post more about what I eat at home) and when I come out the other side, hopefully, I’ll be posting near-”real”-time, or closer than I am used [...]

Dumpling Domination

I realized recently that I wasn’t quite sure where to get dumplings in Chinatown. I mean, I know where to get dumplings, but I didn’t know where the BEST ones were. I know where to get the BEST dumplings in Flushing, but… I needed a dumpling crawl to get my bearings and figure out which place to pledge allegiance to. The FBMers were more than happy to join – this time Hungry, TC, and BeerBoor were the participants. Our first stop was Tasty Dumpling. I’d asked around and this was the only place I hadn’t heard of in the past; [...]

Tuesdays with TT: il labortorio del gelato

After our disappointing dessert at Lina Frey and the immense popularity of a nearby ice cream place, CT and I decided to check it out for ourselves. It turned out that just down the block, across from Katz’s, was il labortorio del gelato. It definitely looked like some sort of laboratory. It was so clean and sanitized in there. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a big menu listing all of their flavors. We had to scrutinize the tiny tags in front of the serving tubs while we were on line. The line moved quick so it didn’t give us much chance [...]
