Last week, we had dinner at Cookshop with Sonya and Seon. I had been wanting to try it for a while now due to the fact that there are many connections between the chefs at Savoy and Cookshop. Like Savoy, Cookshop highlights local, seasonal food, thoughtfully cooked and beautifully plated. Sonya and I both started with [...]

The Mermaid Inn

Dave’s mom was out of town, so his dad came in to the city to have dinner with us. We made reservations at a place we had been wanting to try for a while: The Mermaid Inn (the Upper West Side edition). My love for seafood, coupled with some great reviews from friends, made it [...]

Thanks to my friend Leah, who I met while interning at the Food Network, we were introduced to an amazing Middle Eastern restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn: Tanoreen. We went for dinner with Leah and her husband Paul, and Claudia (another FN employee) and her husband, Paul. Yes, it’s hard to get to (luckily we got [...]
Matsugen: best Japanese I’ve had since Tokyo
Posted in dinner out, tagged matsugen, soba on August 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I had been wanting to try Matsugen (Jean George Vongerichten’s Japanese restaurant with a focus on soba noodles) for a long time. When I saw that they were participating in restaurant week, I made a reservation right away. Not only was I not disappointed, I left ecstatic, having been fed one of the most generous [...]
Weczeria food and wine

Thanks to some online research by Kristen, the night before the wedding we had a delicious dinner at Weczeria Food & Wine, a Saskatoon newcomer. One of the few, if perhaps only, restaurants in town that focuses on the use of local ingredients, it had photos of the farmers who supply the restaurant on the [...]
All you can eat crab
Posted in dinner out, tagged back forty on July 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As you know, this week I went to Back Forty for their crab boil, held every Tuesday during the summer. I arrived late. Dave and my parents were sitting in anticipation… To whet our appetites, these arrived: fried codfish balls with a piece of yuca (manioc, cassava, whatever your word of choice may be) inside. [...]
Campo

Last week, Tracy and I went to dinner at Campo. Having walked by this Morningside Heights Italian many times on my way to visit Dave at Columbia, I had been wanting to try it since I first passed by. Then, I saw the executive chef, David Rotter, on an episode of Chopped (I was watching [...]
Fatty deliciousness

My friend Lisa was in town visiting from Alaska. She lives in a small town and rarely eats out (even if she wanted to her choices are limited) and she had requested Asian for dinner. Dave and I decided on Fatty Crab, known for its flavorful Malaysian street food, which recently opened a second branch [...]
Best Soba in town
Posted in dinner out, tagged soba-ya on June 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
While I have yet to try the much lauded soba at Matsugen, I am sticking with Soba-ya as my favorite place to go for soba in Manhattan. One of my qualifications for a good Japanese restaurant outside of Japan is that most-to-all of the servers must speak Japanese. Soba-ya delivers in this category, however, sadly, [...]
