Thursdays with TT: Robataya

One of the most interesting places that has come up on Blackboard Eats, is Robataya. It is a Japanese restaurant in the East Village that specializes in Robatayaki. This is where customers sit around an open hearth on which chefs grill seafood and vegetables. The fresh ingredients are displayed for customers to point at whenever they want to order.

Upon entering, you see the huge counter area where about 20 people sit around all of the ingredients and in the center, two chefs with grills. The back of the restaurant has regular tables, but sitting there defeats the [...]

Thursdays with TT: Veloce Pizzeria

Over the past couple of months I have become quite the food blogger. I or (CT) bring a camera to every restaurant we go to. Since Yvo has been busy with school, I am stepping up and will now have a weekly column, Tuesdays with TT. Bon Appetit!
UPDATE: I am becoming a blogging machine, so I will also be reporting on Thursday afternoons for you.
CT has been traveling a lot lately for work. During one of her visits back to the city, we were able to go out for dinner. I suggested we use one of [...]

Thursdays with TT: Ardesia

One of CT’s closest friend was in town from Hawaii, LH. She really wanted to see a Broadway show while she was here, so I met them for a quick bite in Hell’s [...]

Tuesdays with TT: Monday Edition: Meatopia

A couple of weeks ago, I got another Blackboard Eats email, but this time it was for Meatopia. I had no idea what that was but knew it wasn’t a restaurant. After some investigating, I found out that it was an upcoming BBQ festival on Governors Island. I was a little hesitant though since the most famous local BBQ festival, the Big Apple BBQ, has become quite the shitshow over the past couple of years and I do my best to avoid it; Yvo’s review from a couple years ago. However, I had a great experience [...]

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 [...]
