1. Skydive the Ranch
Believe the hype. I jumped today.
Every employee here was polite and fun. The atmosphere of the ranch was laid back and cozy. Adam T was my videographer and photographer. Steve "Utah" Webb was my amazing instructor. Immediately, he made me feel…More »
2. Abaee
I was dying and desperate for some home cuisine, as my friend and I drove around Duluth... only to find karaoke joints. I was also not in the mood for chicken.
The restaurant was small and cute, with only Korean patrons. I did enjoy throwing back soju…More »
3. What the Pho?
Generous pho bowl
Barely finished lunch sorry
I need a nap now.
I had greasy spring rolls too but I didn't enjoy them. With a catchy restaurant name, this lunch spot is pretty good.

4. Merchants East - CLOSED
New York, NY 10021
(212) 832-1551
Categories:
Lounges,
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Upper East Side
Reservations are easy to obtain with http://opentable.com. And if you reserve between 6-8 pm you can score easy 1000 points. I've only dined here once and I thought the food was mediocre. I could also smell a little cigar smoke during my meal.
The…More »
5. Stoney River Legendary Steaks
I had the strangest dream last night. I ate fried poppy seed bread balls and a 10oz medium rare filet topped with crab meat and asparagus and caramelized onion mashed potatoes and as I was feeling comatose I saw Toto and the Tin Man and Scarecrow…More »
6. J'z - CLOSED
New York, NY 10001
(917) 497-9474
Category:
Karaoke
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Koreatown
Not bad. J'z is empty. I like that.
Karaoke provides unexplainable therapeutic value. Too bad I can't sing like those folks who go to school for singing and try to show off at the other popular karaoke venues. I'm more of an American Idol reject.…More »
7. The 13th Step
New York, NY 10003
(212) 228-8020
Categories:
Sports Bars,
Pubs
Neighbourhood: East Village
The master minds behind Down The Hatch, Off The Wagon, and other successful businesses introduce another installment, replacing the old Telephone Bar. The space is huge and renovated beautifully. I usually come here during Sunday football. The food…More »
8. Thai Me Up - CLOSED
New York, NY 10003
(212) 533-8424
Categories:
Thai,
Sandwiches,
Breweries
Neighbourhoods: Gramercy, East Village
What a clever name!
Will try Thai Chicken Baguette.
Bad sloppy sandwich.
I came here for lunch and ordered the chicken baguette. While Bahn Mi it isn't, this sandwich doesn't even taste good (boring and bland). I usually don't waste food, but I made an…More »
9. 16 Handles
New York, NY 10003
(212) 260-4414
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: East Village
When I lived upstairs, 16 Handles was the bane of my existence. Initially I thought the clever name and the crowds meant delicious froyo. I broke down and tried it several times.
The Good:
+ clean storefront
+ pleasant staff
+ the assortment of flavors…More »
10. Pho Pasteur Restaurant
I love the East Village but I hate the restaurants that serve Pho, do a poor job yet charge a premium.
I don't know what authentic Vietnamese people eat, but when I want Pho, I make the extra effort to come here. Don't let the surrounding crowded…More »
11. Star Watch Service
My friend has a watch tool kit and I thought it would be economical to change batteries myself. I tried it once and realized buying batteries on eBay and doing the work is not the best use of my precious time. I have to outsource this.
I don't go to…More »
12. New York Airport Service
New York, NY 10017
(718) 560-3915
Categories:
Airport Shuttles,
Public Transportation
Neighbourhoods: Midtown East, Murray Hill
The New York Airport shuttle service is fantastic if you're in Grand Central and need to go to LGA or JFK because the prices are fair ($12-$15 one way) and buses depart frequently every hour. The drivers yell out the terminals for the airline…More »
13. Jewel Bako
New York, NY 10003
(212) 979-1012
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: East Village
Tonight I voraciously ate a Makimono Omakase and a Sashimi Omakase. I'm a stuffed turkey.
Chic, cavernous decor and warm ambiance, attentive service, coupled with beautiful plating presentation. Oh uni, toro, amber jack, yellow jack... So fresh and so…More »
14. Sonic Drive- In
How long were we taunted with those commercials without an actual storefront in the tri-state area?
When this location opened the traffic on route 17 was backed up with a lot of cars in the right lane. Thank goodness the hype is over and traffic…More »
15. Subway
Small storefront with the same pedestrian sandwiches.
I would love to lose as much weight as Jared, but please remind me never to order breakfast sandwiches from them or any Subway. God awful.

16. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Napa Valley
American Canyon, CA 94503
(707) 674-2100
Categories:
Hotels,
Day Spas,
Restaurants
On a planned trip to Napa and Sonoma, I wanted to stay a little closer to Wine Country (the previous trip we were in SF). I almost narrowed it down to a few bed and breakfasts but this place caught my eye. I booked a King Patio room through Expedia…More »
17. Spa Gaia
With a convenient location to Gaia Napa Valley Hotel, my wife and I had to book an appointment for a couples' massage. We picked the "coveted" early bird slot at 8:00 AM.
We arrived, sipped on ginger tea, filled out a little paperwork (I noticed that…More »
18. Professor Thom's
Even though I've live in the area I didn't have a reason to come here until the Annual NYC Craft Beer Week. They have an good selection of craft beer and have individual televisions at the booths.
I do like the place but I can't come here for Sunday…More »
19. MetLife Stadium
East Rutherford, NJ 07073
(201) 559-1500
Categories:
Stadiums & Arenas,
Music Venues
Sure, the old Giants Stadium was not glamorous but it was far from done. I was excited when Bloomberg tried to build the West Side Highway Stadium but that fell through. Now we have the New Meadowlands. After seeing Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, I…More »
20. Don Bogam BBQ & Wine Bar
New York, NY 10016
(212) 683-2200
What the hell is a Bogam? I don't know, Don, but you created something intriguing.
Further off the Korea town strip lies this restaurant...
The Good:
+ Fancy decor makes this seem upscale.
+ Introduce wine and it's a different beast from the other Korean…More »
21. Jacuzzi Family Vineyards
Jacuzzi? Are you thinking of your lecherous uncle Marko, with his furry sweater-vest of hair sitting in a hot tub, inviting you to join?
Stop. Do not let the name fool you. (Ok, I apologize for the tasteless imagery.)
I thought Jacuzzi was some sleazy…More »
22. SAQ
Since most convenient stores downtown sell beer, we inquired about liquor stores. The locals kept giving us directions to a store that kind of sounded like "Suck You". But it's "Es Ah Queue".
Liquor is expensive in all of the bars so if you need it…More »
23. L'Annam Vietnamese Cuisine - CLOSED
The world's worst bowl of pho award belongs to Noodles on 28... but this place comes at a close second.
Even if I sit by the window and order a bowl of pho, everyone who walks by has that sorry look... one that says "my condolences for your crappy…More »
24. Lockbusters
New York, NY 10003
(212) 960-8585
Category:
Keys & Locksmiths
Neighbourhood: East Village
I am always suspicious of all glowing reviews.
But these are not shills. Jay is awesome. I called, set up an appointment and Jay showed up and changed the locks quickly. Pleasant, courteous and professional.
Unless your neighbor is a free locksmith,…More »
25. The Pearl Restaurant
It was quiet for a dinner Thursday evening and I thought the restaurant looked cute. I was even excited to see the positive reviews and that it was listed in Napa Valley Restaurant Month (looked forward to specials). My wife and I ordered the duck,…More »
26. Korbel Delicatessen & Market
Tri-tip steak sandwich with onions. The end.
Ok. Go get your free champagne tasting first, then get your sandwich. With exception to the tri-tip sandwich the other items were just ordinary. (Overall I feel the food items look better than they taste...…More »
27. B Side
Walking down St Laurent and witnessing an active nightlife scene was very cool. However, on a Friday night, venues such as Koko and Musique had lines of meatheads, muscle mary's and young, thin modelesque women out the door. The sight was…More »
28. J Vineyards & Winery
I paid $20 for 4 tastes of wine and it came along with a well dressed and garrulous, stocky host, Ron. He was funny, told us great stories and all about the other restaurants to try in Healdsburg. He was bold enough to claim it was the "food mecca"…More »
29. Fishtail By David Burke
Captain Obvious here: "Delicious seafood.... but it ain't cheap."
The interior was a little tacky to me but I was distracted by the great food and service.
My wife and I made a mistake by ordering a rainbow roll as an appetizer. While it was good, I…More »
30. Hotel Le Cantlie Suites
I stayed here during the weekend in April and June.
The Good:
+The suites are clean and in a good area, close to nightlife.
+The beds are very comfortable.
+Price is right and Drew Carey agrees. If you performed a Kayak/expedia/orbitz/hotels dot com…More »
31. Dee Daa
I passed by a few times and thought this was a new frozen yogurt or a bubble tea establishment.
The surprise is the name. Dee Daa is "balanced Thai to go," claiming to balance salty, sweet, sour and spicy. Clever idea. Too bad my drunken noodle dish…More »
32. Cask Bar + Kitchen
New York, NY 10016
(212) 300-4924
Categories:
Bars,
Restaurants
Neighbourhoods: Midtown East, Murray Hill, Kips Bay
My wise friend gave me great advice when I told her I was coming here: "Skip the food and go to 2nd Avenue Deli across the street."
I was invited for a birthday dinner and sat in a large table in the middle of the dining area. Cask Bar has a very good…More »
33. Zocalo
New York, NY 10017
(212) 687-5666
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Midtown East, Murray Hill
Midtown East jobbers are victims of proximity. Tourists are victims to their naivete. Located in the Grand Central lower level dining concourse, Zocalo lures local foot traffic for lunch. Californian natives will scoff at the idea of Mexican anywhere…More »
34. Dos Caminos
Nouveau Mexican in NYC? The joke was on me.
I came here for a birthday group dinner. The decor of the restaurant is handsomely decorated and would attract a pre-gaming night out crowd.
I wanted to enjoy the chips and guacamole, but the guacamole was…More »
35. Restaurant Pho Cali
While the pho was tasty and service was fast, the staff here needs to learn some manners. When it was time to pay up, they saw American funds, scowled and tried to make up their own favorable conversion rates. Their ATM machine do not work with…More »
36. Stogies Cigares Lounge
Solid cigar bar. Stogies has multiple floors and the outdoor terrace is an excellent place to enjoy cigars.I can't rate the interior ventilation system since I smoked outdoors. As expected, markup on cigars is pretty high but I came prepared with my…More »
37. Asser Levy Recreation Center
New York, NY 10010
(212) 447-2020
Categories:
Fitness & Instruction,
Swimming Pools
Neighbourhoods: Kips Bay, Stuyvesant Town
I have never been incarcerated, but this place sometimes makes me feel like I'm doing time... until I see kids playing Foosball, ping pong and billiards in the front.
We've come a long way from Equinox, Toto. Wait, I still have money in my pocket.
…More »
38. Plaisirs Coupables - CLOSED
Plaisirs Couplables: Clever name, decent food, unqualified price-to-value ratio.
The name conjures ideas of greatness, but this place gets bashed like a bad haircut. I came here on two occasions with my friends and we come back each time to eat. With…More »
39. Pranna
New York, NY 10016
(212) 696-5700
Categories:
Asian Fusion,
Vietnamese,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhood: Flatiron
If you are seeking Pranna Lounge as a nightlife option, then you better like to dance in a sea of sausage.
I can't appreciate things like paying for coat checks, restroom patrons and inflated price drinks in a self-aggrandizing nightclub. I can not…More »
40. Café Hookah Lounge
Our group of 8 wanted to take a break from the usual bars so we took a table outside.
Our waiter was funny and accommodating. I'm not a hookah expert but it was good and the service was fast. In terms of specialty drinks, this was the first place…More »

The Good, Bad & Ugly (43)My feeble attempt to make my verbose reviews more structured and concise... |
Pedro's Best of Yelp (34)Considering I give perfect 5 star reviews with serious discretion, it's time I started this list. |
Work Out (7)I generated a list of NYC gyms/active life because I see this recurring question in talk... |
Apartment Huntin', Movin' & Shakin' (3)Our favorite day! Moving day. Here are some vendors that can help you have a smooth residential transition. |
Ascii art - Why read when you can have pictures? (49)Thanks to my short attention span, sometimes I don't want to read. I want to see pictures. Here are my reviews which have some eye candy. Yes, time well spent. Not all are original. Not all are good. These two Yelpers have inspired me to do the same. Srini V (New York, NY): many excellent reviews followed by art. Ed to the M (San Francisco, CA): he doesn't always use ascii art, but I love this review. http://www.yelp.com/bi... |
Demystifying Korean food (29)Sometimes there are restaurants that are under represented on Yelp because the entire menu is in Korean. Or maybe because people are just afraid to try it. Some on this list are popular and some are very obscure.Good luck. |
Fix My Jalopy (6)Businesses that relate to car additions, maintenance and repair. Oh, you don't have a car? Oh, you don't have a license? Oh, you don't like me? Read anyway. |
ROTD love! (6)You read and voted for them (or maybe just voted for them because I am great). Here is a list with my "Review of the Day" nods. |
No Way (6)The worst. Never coming back even if you lured me with beer, bacon and boobs. |
What Smoking Ban? (8)In 2003, Mayor Michael Bloomberg enacted the smoking ban in NYC. Screw you, homeboy, I'm smoking here. Don't be surprised if the list is very short. |
