Corsino Cantina NYC: Italian Small Plates in the Meatpacking District
Corsino Cantina NYC, specializing in Italian small plates, opened last October on the border between the elegant coziness of the West Village and the glitzy narcissism of the Meatpacking District in Manhattan.

Mr. Brainwash: Icons, in NYC Meatpacking District
Whatever you think of Mr. Brainwash's deliberately derivative artwork (everyone from Andy Warhol to Vic Muniz to, of course, Mr. Brainwash's patron saint Banksy are so closely copied that you can't even really call them influences), one thing's for sure the just-opened: Icons, Mr. Brainwash's art exhibition in the Meatpacking District in NYC, is […]
Xi’an Famous Foods in Manhattan: A Noodle House in Chinatown
When cultish Flushing fave Xi’an Famous Foods opened an outpost here in Manhattan last month, food writers prestigious (Sam Sifton in the Times) and now (Yelpers galore) went a little nuts praising the hand-pulled noodles, the Liang Pi, the stewed lamb spine.

This Little Piggy Had Roast Beef: A Sandwich Restaurant in NYC
Grabbing a slice at Artichoke on East 14th Street in NYC can be a frustrating experience (long wait, nowhere to sit, indifferent attitude), but we do go there, and often, because the pizza is so outstanding: topped with fresh ingredients, baked to a nice char, always exploding with flavor. One bite into our slice (a […]

Green real estate in NYC is becoming more and more desirable.

The City Bakery Hot Chocolate Festival NYC
February means different things to different people: horrible freezingness, fun in the snow, Caribbean vacations, sometimes Leap Year. Us? The arrival of the shortest month of the year simply means we're going to be spending more time than ever at the incomparable City Bakery in NYC, drowning ourselves in the insanely rich and gloriously […]
