About

Eating my way through the Big Apple and around the world.

Always in favor of extraordinary flavor versus saving a few calories, I’m constantly seeking the best restaurants, recipes, and random little food finds. This blog chronicles my discoveries, most of which are located in New York City, the foodie heaven I am fortunate to call home.

After living in Manhattan for five years, I finally made the move to Brooklyn (Greenpoint) at the end of 2011. I could not be more excited to discover and devour all the great eats in my new borough. (Recommendations very welcome!)

I take my photos with a point-and-shoot Canon PowerShot SD850. Which goes to show that if you're passionate about photography but can't afford fancy camera equipment, you can still take quality photos.

The Al Roker: tomato, mozzarella, fontina, caramelized onion, sopressata, roast pepper, and rosemary.
The hype is true, Fornino Pizza in Williamsburg is to die for. And isn’t it just your lucky day: get a large pizza and a bottle of wine for only $25 on Google Offers (featuring this here picture by yours truly).
Pizza Party Friday, get after it!

After waiting in line for two hours, Mama’s French Toast Sampler was mine. 
Cranberry-Orange Walnut, Banana Walnut and Swedish Cinnamon. Impossible to pick a favorite, very possible to scrape the plate clean.

Of course a girl from Wisconsin would fall in love with a San Franciscan deli named Cheese Plus. They’re serving up the best turkey sandwich I’ve ever encountered, only made better when enjoyed in Lafayette Park. 
Crissy Field: Oven-roast turkey, bacon, provolone, fresh tomato, arugula, and house-made roasted tomato aioli.
