Brindle Room Re-do

After I posted about my experience with the Brindle Room burger, Yvo suggested we go back for a re-do to see if the burgers have indeed gone down in quality since she first started going there. Since Hungry from Tasty Eating felt the same way as I did about the burger, she came too with Mr. M&P, TC and DLS also came to round out the group. (Yvo says: Actually, Hungry – who ate her burger with me – simply felt she should eat the burger without eating fried chicken first, to give it a fair shake.) Like the Friday [...]

Big Gay Ice Cream Shop

After our pork-fest at Sa Aming Nayon, we decided we needed something sweet to cleanse our palates. We decided to go for ice cream at the new Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, which was just a couple blocks away. Neither of us had ever gone to the truck, which is usually found in the Union Square area in the Summer, so we said hell to our waistlines! We’re on vacation! Who cares if it’s December and 30 degrees out? While we were waiting to order, one of the owners, Doug, handed us some free samples of a new ice cream [...]

The Meatball Shop (West Village)

Apartment hunting makes me hungry… especially when the real estate agent starts listing all the great restaurants in the area.  When he mentioned The Meatball Shop, DLS glanced at me and immediately decided he wanted to go there.  I wasn’t going to argue – I’d really enjoyed my last visit, and have wanted to return since then… and it was unusual to see him make a decision so quickly, so I was definitely not going to interfere!  After we walked the few blocks to the West Village location, there was the shortest of waits before we were seated at the [...]

Lappert’s Ice Cream

One of my dearest friends – known to y’all on my blog simply as StB – recently got married in Maui, Hawaii. There was no way I was going to miss this for the world, so I took myself on a week long trip… read along as I share everything I ate on this incredible vacation!    Some of you may realize that I visit San Francisco once or twice a year, for various reasons but namely because I love San Francisco.  It’s a second home to me.  And one of the things I love about SF is the abundance [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Water Taxi Beach at Governors Island

For the past couple summers, CT and I have spent a fair amount of time visiting Governors Island. While we have only gone for food festivals and the occasional concert, we had been meaning to go for a relaxing day including biking and maybe a picnic. Things happen and schedules fill up, so we didn’t get a day to go until a nice Saturday last month. CT had won a gift certificate to Water Taxi Beach when we went to the Guac-Off for Cancer last winter, so we also planned to check out the WTB location on the island. Since [...]
