I'm such a homer.

In New York for roughly 3.5 days, and while I did indulge in plenty of fun stuffs unique to the 212, not only did I find myself at the Blue Bottle in Brooklyn because of my lust for San Francisco... but I also geeked out when I…More »

I almost feel like I didn't visit New York City at all while I was hopping around the boroughs last week. In fact, "hopping" hardly describes what went down at all. More accurately, I flew cross country to visit Avenue A and "How-ston" street in East…More »

Great place for an array of different champagnes, beers, and spirits in the heart of East Village.

Oh, and a perfect place to swoop some bubbles after a 5-star nap.

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhood: East Village

10/26/2010

New York loves their pickle backs, and Whiskey Town isn't about to jump ship on this drinking trend that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It's a bit of a polarizing libation, and admittedly, when the New York born salty elixir began…More »

Neighbourhood: East Village

10/22/2010

Before my jaunt to New York, I had this idea in mind that I'd fuel my body on nothing but artisan pizza, molecular cocktails and Twinkies for the short time I was in the city. While I strangely ate more Twinkies in three days than I'd ever previously…More »

There's certainly more than meets the eye at Stay.

When my pal Meg Whitman insisted we enjoy a few overpriced drinks in the company of the folks at Stay, I didn't bat a lash. When we walked into an ultra lounge with purple lights, white couches and…More »

10/17/2010

Hey, did you know that it's illegal for restaurants/bars to serve booze before 12:00pm on Sunday? Also, you probably knew that this place gets crazy packed around the 1:00pm - 3:00pm window... so with that being said, the perfect formula for enjoying…More »

11/2/2010

Again during my visit to Avenue A (not New York... I really need to venture out of my 8 block radius next time), I found myself on more than one occasion beating the beat within the friendly confines of Ella.

Yet another slick dance hall with two…More »
