My Favorite Restaurant of 2012: Bab al Yemen in Bay Ridge
Happy new year, everyone! All tens of you! I hope everyone was busy over the last few weeks doing fun holiday things. And that no one noticed that I only posted once last month. I blame it on Kåre, who...
Dear Ample Hills' Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Ice Cream: You're My Favorite
OGBC, don't ever leave me. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the actual ice cream. Imagine a pen of a dozen playful kittens. Magical kittens made of marshmallows, with delicately velvety fur covering their cushiony, sugar-scented skin. Now, imagine...

Georgian Bread, Home of Awesome Cheese-filled Khachapuri
A straightforward name. I'm not the kind of person who'd be labeled as "the life of the party"; I'm more like the person who stands in the corner and looks lost or confused. So to shoot myself up the ranks...
Some of My Fave Spots in NYC to Bring Out-of-towners

Momma cake and baby cake, soon to be destroyed. "Uuuuugggnnnnhhh aaaaahhhhhh arrrrrhhhggu uunnngggh!" That is the sound of: Being slowly gummed by a toothless lion Being gently prodded in the legs by a bowling pin Being completely taken off guard...

Seared Brussels Sprouts and Bacon, Here's Why I Love You
Brussels sprouts and bacon covered in fried onions. "Looks like we've both gone to our default meals." Three nights ago my roommate Chris pulled out a frozen pizza from Whole Foods, his "I'm at home and want to eat something...
Radicchio: WHYYY? (Aka "Salad Rage")
So...um, I originally wrote this post on November 6. Until now, it existed only as a Gmail draft. Similar to how I felt about my sandwich rage post, I thought this came off as too crazy-sounding and ill-composed to be...
Dinner at Pirosmani: Georgian Food, Where Have You Been All My Life?
This post originally took place on November 3. I think I started writing this post on Thanksgiving and then forgot about it. Oops. Better late than never? Happy camera-toting eaters. Sheepshead Bay. That's where Georgian food has been all my...
Crap, I'm Busy, But Mimi's Hummus Is Awesome, So Lemme Tell You About It

This post originally took place on September 26 and 27. ...Good lord, are we really only on day two and three? Was my post about day one really two weeks ago? Fail. I spent a few hours trying to write...
Pre-Weegie Week: Seoul Garden, Paulie Gee's, Taim, and L'Arte del Gelato
Shake Shack = happy weegies! While I'm not one to set goals for myself (because goals = POTENTIAL FAILURE; also, I'm a crap role model for kids), I have foolishy not abandoned all hope that I will catch up on...
Head to Pies 'n' Thighs for the Thighs (and Biscuits and Sides), Not So Much the Pies
Fried chicken = yay! If I hadn't moved out of South Williamsburg at the end of 2008, I would've only been a 10 minute walk from Pies 'n' Thighs, the beloved Southern food joint that opened in 2006, closed abruptly...

This post happened on March 14th. Better late than never? Ehhh? Eh. Fish. Sammich. "I'll get the fried fish sandwich. Does it come with anything on it?" "No, it's just fish," the waitress replied. "Can I add cheese to that?"...

Snow Day Lunch at Peter Luger: Cheeseburger, Creamed Spinach, and a Hot Fudge Sundae
Snow-covered Peter Luger. On February 26, I was perfectly content to stay home and work in my pajamas as a snowstorm semi-raged outside, transforming my view of an unkempt backyard-turned-weed graveyard into a winter wonderland. And then around lunchtime, Kathy...
