I wonder how good is the average bagel in a city outside of New York City. While we had ice cream from Luca and Bosco, my fatty side got the better of me and I started to think that more dairy products would be good. That and a slow but steady stream of folks kept going up to Davidovich Bagels for stuff. When we lived in Washington Heights, there weren’t that many bagel places. There was one by the hospital because the truth was that the people who would buy bagels the most would be near the hospital in that neighborhood. So I know that in another city, there probably won’t be bagels. Time to start eating a ton…. [Continue reading]

Weather flashes before our eyes and we’re usually too caught up in work and are blinded to that fact. Ice cream season has started again, since the New York Spring pulled its usual disappearing act of barely appearing. We hit up Luca and Bosco’s because it was mentioned in a NYTimes ice cream sandwich guide. Leave it to me to forget it was Ligaya Mishan’s favorite ice cream sandwich when it was time to order. I couldn’t trust my memory nor the possibility of disappointment, so I went with a single scoop…. [Continue reading]

By far the best news I heard about today was that Neil deGrasse Tyson defended genetic modification of food. Hurray for GMO food! One of the things that is always annoying is that if you read a lot of food blogs, it would seem that lack of sustainably raised local food is the problem in the world, when in fact a much bigger problem is that the entire world doesn’t have enough to eat. If all the smart people in New York worried more about how we feed starving people around the world instead of how to get that CSA so we get that local shit, maybe the world is you know a slightly better place. You know what they should definitely genetically engineer more? Figs. That shit be too expensive and so delicious. I tried some fig ice cream from Il Laboratorio del Gelato in the Lower East Side and while I enjoyed it, I think fig is just not a fruit that translates to ice cream as well as say… strawberries….

Mission Cantina, oh how you was a tease. We asked during lunch a few months ago about whether it would be possible to eat a burrito in the dining room and they said no. I think less than two weeks later, they relented on that policy. I had hoped they would have been like, “Oh, there’s FOUR people in our dining room, no biggie”, but I guess it wasn’t about how easy it is to make one. Probably, they didn’t want customers that came in after us to see us eating a burrito and then be like “well they got to have it.” Either way, I’m gonna say we had tacos and grilled scallions and the best thing was the grilled scallions…… [Continue reading]

The Fat Radish is a restaurant that basically I haven no idea that it exists, yet it’s over three-years-old and has a friggin New York Times star. If we’re in the game of making new neighborhoods that never existed before, I would call it East Chinatown, but really it’s like Lower East Side. That is part of the reason that I would never usually go because I wouldn’t think there’s that many restaurants over there. Also the place is like, for people who seem to be pretty and shit. I mean if that’s you or that’s where you like to pick up pretty people, or you like looking at pretty people. Do it…. [Continue reading]
