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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
