Lara also is founder and editor of Grits in the City Popovers – BLT Prime One of my most overdue reviews has to be BLT Prime. I think I keep putting this one off because I feel like there are so many photos to cram into one post. May I do the food justice. I’d heard many …

Welcome to Bee Wheelin’ Brooklyn!
The weather’s been a little warm but great so far this summer! So it’s time to venture out and discover some of the hidden treasures among Brooklyn’s many culturally rich neighborhoods. What better way to do it than by cycling? You can canvass larger areas than on foot and you’ll get great exercise all …
dish buzz: the spotted pig
Lara also is founder and editor of Grits in the City The Spotted Pig – West Village I’ve been meaning to try The Spotted Pig since I moved to New York City over two years ago. I’ll admit, it is the usual wait time I’ve heard about from basically all sources which has kept me away. Overall, I like …
Dish Buzz: Defonte’s
I’ve still yet to go to the original restaurant in Brooklyn, but I recently made my second trip to Defonte’s in Gramercy. Rather, I should say I had their food for the second time since the first time it came my way via delivery. While it was still quite good delivered, it’s hard to beat …
Dish Buzz: Dell’Anima
My friend recommended we go to Dell’Anima to check out their aperitivo offering, which runs from 4-6pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the bar area. It’s based on the Italian tradition whereby so long as you are partaking in their drinks, you are welcome to partake in some of the appetizer offerings they have …

There is an additional charge for one of the lamb courses and also for one of the duck courses. I …
Dish Buzz: Braai
Braai popped up over the past few weeks as a good spot for brunch in Hell’s Kitchen. I was intrigued after reading the menu. Initially a little confused about when they served brunch (I read somewhere that they only served brunch on Sundays but OpenTable allowed me to make a reservation for Saturday.), after a …
New York City Restaurants – Dish Buzz: Pylos
My mother’s lone request on her visit to NYC last week was pasticcio at a Greek restaurant. I didn’t have a go to spot for Greek. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever had Greek. I know the “best” Greek is in Queens, a statement I plan to validate in warmer weather, …
New York City Restaurants – Dish Buzz: Cha An Japanese Tea House
As a writer whose dog will not let her write at home, I am always in search of and appreciative of places in the city where you can write. Cha An is a great little Japanese tea house over in the East Village. Tucked on the second floor of the building and seating I’d guess …
New York City Restaurants – Dish Buzz: Lantern
Hope you’ve all had a great beginning to the new year, full of lots of fabulous culinary delights! To get back into full swing for 2009, I thought I’d start with sharing one of my low-key favorites, Lantern. Compared to the flashy Manhattan restaurant scene, Lantern in Gramercy is very much a quiet neighborhood contender when …
