Landmarc – TWC

Landmarc – TWC

After what seemed like the longest semester EVER, I caught up with an old friend I hadn’t seen in ages over dinner at Landmarc in the Time Warner Center.  I’d been to the location down in TriBeCa – twice – although looking at those reviews, what was I drinking when I wrote them?  I bash everything and then say I like the place.  Haha I guess I’m a lot pickier now – in any case, I didn’t re-read those first, I just remembered writing positively about those experiences and enjoying my food.  Plus Blackboard Eats had a special deal that [...]

Big Nick’s Burger Joint

Big Nick’s Burger Joint

After writing up my post on Bouchon Bakery at a Starbucks on Broadway (don’t ask me which one- I’m still not sure), Hagan of 93plates and I headed up Broadway to Big Nick’s.  I don’t think either of us was really ready to eat another meal, but… what can ya do?  This sign over our booth told us what was what.If that wasn’t clear enough, there was this one hung over where I sat.  There were a ton of cute little signs/sayings up around the store that I appreciated and added to the divey but local joint place atmosphere [...]

Maybe you’ve heard of this project going on called 93 Plates?  No?  Well, here’s a link explaining what it is Essentially, The Wandering Foodie has been eating his way around NYC – 3 meals a day, blogging about it, and inviting other food bloggers to join him.  I’m currently sitting next to him in Starbucks, blogging our breakfast (if you can call it that… you know I am a savory foods kind of gal when it comes to breakfast!), while he catches up in posts (it is NOT easy to blog concurrently with eating; that’s one of the [...]

Shake Shack: Upper West Side

Shake Shack: Upper West Side

I talk enough about my boyfriend and his eating habits on here that y’all who read regularly probably feel like you know him almost as well as you know me.  Well, a recent turn of events had me thinking maybe I don’t know him as well as I thought I did…
I frequently mention that he is not as into food as me, and that’s true.  Most people aren’t, actually.  It just makes me love him all the more because he balances my crazy food obsession… a little bit… I mean, he’s got his little food quirks, too, you know?  And [...]

Utopia Restaurant

Utopia Restaurant

BB and I recently went to a screening of The Proposal, and afterwards, wandered around looking for food.  We’d originally planned on going to Salumeria Rosi, since I’ve read so much about it since it first opened a few months ago, but when we got there close to 9:30, the place looked packed and was way darker (read: more romantic) than either of us had thought it might be, so we turned around and began walking away, back towards the train station.
As we walked, however, we passed by Utopia Restaurant, a brightly lit, mostly empty restaurant that, with its booths [...]
