This is a very nice place to grab a cocktail as the cocktails here are expertly prepared or to spend a night out with friends enjoying a fun dinner. Great, cozy, relaxed vibe here and a plus is that the food is great as well. Their burger is a…More »

Delux has the whole french bistro dining thing down to a pat from food, decor to service. I'm not sure why I had been putting off a visit to this resto for some time now, most likely I was fearful of competing against the crowds that flock to this…More »

Sidecar is swoonworthy and a gal's best friend.

Came in a cold winter night when Caplansky's was out of meat again (again!?) and needed some gastronomical pampering after a yucky day. I had passed by many times but unfortunately my smoked meat fix…More »

Thanks to the illustrious and chow-tastic Christine for introducing me to this wonderful place! Had she not raved about it's merits I doubt I would have had the cahones to go myself as it seems to be constantly busy from the outside and I'm always…More »

Dear Black Hoof,

It has been some time since I vacated Tawrana for the Big Apple and already the cravings for your comforting edibles have started to hit me like a flood as winter creeps forth. Granted I'm aware that NYC has a lot to offer in terms of…More »

Weezie's is a gem of a neighborhood bistro located in Corktown. It's dimly lit at night-not a bad place if you will to go for a date or have a dinner with friends. Very dark hues inside, a minimalist decor.

I've had the burger here, it was nicely…More »

Yup, I agree with the previous reviewer. Caren's is a chick place all right. Nice patio, dim lighting inside for dates or charming rendez-vous with candles flickering around all over. Plus the hostess/server is sweet and funny. Not as posh or stuck…More »

Tati is a charming little bistro on Harbord street. Dimly lit -this must be the standard for all aspiring bistros-the dining room is rather unassuming and it gets quite noisy as it fills up. The vibe here is definitely not as vibrant or hip as…More »
