The Pan American Contradiction

Written by admin on December 7, 2011. Posted in Eat & Drink

A restaurant for the vegan meat-eater locavore globehopper in all of us By Regan Hofmann In the ever-shifting neighborhood creep of Downtown, it seems nothing is what it’s supposed to be anymore. Little Italy has become Chinatown, Nolita has become Soho and Soho has become Times Square. Walking from block to block you’re not quite

Win the holiday wars and stay well fed at the New Amsterdam Market By Regan Hofmann With the advent of December comes the fall of the farmers markets that dotted the summer city landscape and the rise of a thousand holiday markets, like mushrooms on rotting trees, in their stead. Obscenely ripe peaches are replaced

By Josh Perilo The air has finally become crisp and blustery. The leaves have all but been completely shed from the trees in Central Park. New York City’s requisite two weeks of fall weather have come and gone and we are hurtling, full speed, into winter’s icy clutch. This only means one thing as far

A Wine to Complement Any Thanksgiving Meal

Written by admin on November 23, 2011. Posted in Eat & Drink

By Josh Perilo I shook my head as I walked down the “seasonal” aisle of our local CVS. Natali sighed heavily, knowing I was about to sound off about something insignificant again.

Where to eat out on Thanksgiving

Written by admin on November 23, 2011. Posted in Eat & Drink

By Kristina Diggins-Reisinger Imagine your typical stressed Thanksgiving day preparations: A frazzled mother who clatters around the kitchen; dozens of dishes, from turkey to yams, that must be cooked to perfection or your Uncle Ned will grumble; and you sporting a splattered apron, your hair frizzy and your face red.

Blindfolds, Caresses and Accordions

Written by admin on November 16, 2011. Posted in Eat & Drink

My dark dining adventure By Leonora Desar What have I gotten myself into this time? I wonder silently. I am wearing a blindfold—pardon me, a fancy eye mask called a “Mindfold”—that makes me look like Cyclops from the movie X-Men. My hands rest lightly on the slender shoulders of a dancer/embodier—more on that later—who is

What’s Wrong With a California-Style Chardonnay?

Written by admin on October 26, 2011. Posted in Eat & Drink

By Josh Perilo I tend to be a bit of a contrarian, especially when it comes to food and wine trends. I remember my confusion and disgust the first time someone laid a plate in front of me with “foam” on it. I recall with horror the first time I heard a famous chef declare

No More Hiding on Halloween

Written by Regan Hofmann on October 26, 2011. Posted in Eat & Drink

Kids all love Halloween in the same way. Candy abounds, decorum goes out the window and you get to pretend to be anything you can dream up, no questions asked. Unfortunately, all of the elements that make the night so charming for children are a recipe for disaster for grownups. Replace candy with alcohol and
