Hi everyone, please meet Marla Kreiness Striar, real estate agent for Compass. Marla is a good friend who was built to be an amazing real estate agent, which she’s been doing for over 4 years. Little bit about Marla – she grew up in Westchester (Edgemont), taught 7th and 8th grade History for over a …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

A friend recently dined at ilili and had highly recommended it, especially their prix fixe options ($25 at lunch and $35 at dinner) which includes your choice of two starters, an entree and a dessert. There is an additional charge for one of the lamb courses and also for one of the duck courses. I …
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 …
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, …
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 …
