Blue Sky Bakery Review: Blue Sky Bakery

Over on 5th Avenue in Park Slope, there is a quaint little bakery tucked in the middle of unassuming stores. You can easily miss Blue Sky Bakery, unless you happen to be looking for the Law Office of Jesus and peek next door to investigate the source of the delicious aroma that fills the air. No seriously. It is right next to where a guy named Jesus has a law office. Not only do I pinky swear it is true, but there is photographic evidence to prove as such. I am going to start this off by telling you what not to get. Skip the chocolate chip cookies. They have a plain chocolate chip cookie and one that is oatmeal. Both are really flat, and they really just do not do anything for me. However, they are under a dollar and you can try it for...

S'Nice Review: snice cupcakes

"They are all good. I come here just for the cupcakes." The woman to my left spotted my indecisiveness at the counter of Vegan goodness at 'Snice in Park Slope. My first thought was, "That sign says these are all Vegan, what kind of crack are you smoking? They are ALL good?" It was also a surprise that someone would randomly talk to me - usually on the street my facial expression exudes, "I am hungry/cranky, you look like a donut, and I want to jump on you faster than a governor at the Emperor's VIP club" Kinda scares people away here in New York. I kindly asked the woman for advice and settled upon a red velvet cupcake. And a carrot cake cupcake. And an apricot square. That is all, I swear. I was skeptical, but you can alter experiences if you can adjust your...

Tehuitzingo Deli Grocery Review: Tehuitzingo has awesome tacos

Tehuitzingo Deli Grocery in Midtown is serving up some of the best delicious Mexican fare you can find in Manhattan. Going all the way to 10th avenue to find some tacos seems counter intuitive because good food is now all over Midtown. The reason you want to go to Tehuizingo is because just about any taco on their menu is good. During lunch time, the crowd has its share of Latinos and the eye-test would reveal that this place is authentic. Perhaps authenticity is overrated and unimportant. If the clientele can't be used to categorize restaurants, I feel like what tastes good is subjective. Then what you can measure objectively would be a quantitatively comparison of one store versus another store, right? To that I say that almost any single Chipotle store outsells Tehuizingo. Blam. Even if authenticity is unimportant, I can at least attest to...

Sunda Review: Sunda in Chicago

Guest Post Time! Jonathan is back again with a post from Chicago. This time it's about an Asian-y restaurant. I'm always weary of restaurants that can't figure out their identity, but this place sounds pretty promising, and I'll let Jonathan take it away here: In general, I haven’t found many "pan-Asian" restaurants that I like. In fact, I am more likely to dislike a place if it is described as pan-Asian than if it is not. Maybe I’m too harsh, but usually I find that all the cuisine ends up as a watered down version of the original. It’s a matter of focus; Asia's a big place. So when I heard about Sunda, a new Asian concept, had just opened a few blocks from my apartment in River North, I was skeptical. The restaurant, like previous ventures by the group behind Rockit Bar & Grill and The...

Bon Appetit Pop up Cafe Review: Bon Appetit Pop up Cafe is meh

This week I just wanna be a mean motherfucker. I only have crappy things to say about places that I'm going to talk about this week. So let's get started. The Bon Appetit Pop-up Cafe is open this week during Fashion Week. Because you know, people in the fashion industry need a place to go to expense salads that they barely eat. Just look at that measly looking salad sitting on ice. It's just begging to sit in front of some a woman who's the antithesis of Joan Holloway. To each their own, I guess? But those salad options looked boring. Pre-made salads that sit on ice just don't look like good options to me. So of course I wanted a sandwich. And just like in previous years of the BA Cafe, the food options aren't a deal. They aren't things that scream out, "Hey,...
