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.

I've been in NYC since 2006, via Green Bay and Minneapolis. 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.

Essex, Lower East Side

Essex (and NoLita House) are always my go-to brunch spots when I have friends in town. And as I’ve had guests two weekends this month, I’ve been chowing down at Essex pretty frequently. $18 will get you an all-you-can-drink brunch, with your choice of mimosas, bloody marys, screw drivers, or bellinis. The food is pretty standard (minus some more unique Jewish dishes), but it tastes good and that’s all that really matters. You’re there for the drinks and the fun party atmosphere anyway.

Crispy Potato Pancakes with sautéed apples and honey cream sauce and spinach-shiitake-black bean hash. This won’t be a frequent order, but fun for trying something a little different every now and then.

Crabcake Benedict. Love this!
