Get ‘Em While It’s (Not So) Hot

Written by Regan Hofmann on April 18, 2012. Posted in Breaking News, Dining Our Town, Dining west side spirit, Eat & Drink

New York’s elusive springtime deserves its own set of treats It is way too early to be thinking about the summer. It’s mid-April—taxes are behind us, Memorial Day looms far off on the horizon and you can’t walk past a garden in bloom without stopping to exclaim, like a 4-year-old, “Flowers! Pretty!” No way is

What’s Old is New

Written by Josh Perilo on April 11, 2012. Posted in Dining Our Town, Dining west side spirit, Our Town, The Penniless Epicure

The difference between wines grown in Europe and the rest of the world After my article last week about syrahs from northern Rhone, I had a friend ask me a question that I’ve fielded numerous times about that region and many, many others: “If Syrah and Shiraz are the same,” he asked, “why don’t they

Épicerie Boulud fills every niche for the Upper West Side The avenues of the Upper West Side, in spots, can feel like someone dropped the Mall of America in the Grand Canyon, a wide-open valley of enormous glass-fronted chain shops and banks. And while elected officials and community members work to change zoning restrictions to

Follow that Cab: Punjabi Deli is a local spot for one of New York’s many kinds of local

Written by Regan Hofmann on March 28, 2012. Posted in Eat & Drink, Our Town Downtown

When you travel, the first thing you’re told is to eat where the locals eat. Skip the tourist traps and the corporate cafeterias and look for the unassuming place packed with people all speaking the same language—preferably not the one you speak. A New York local, however, is a different kind of animal. We’ll tell

Booze Up Your Food: Spice up your meals with an age-old tradition

Written by Josh Perilo on March 21, 2012. Posted in Dining Our Town, Dining west side spirit, Eat & Drink, Our Town, The Penniless Epicure, West Side Spirit

It seems like every time you turn on a cooking show, the host is making something you would never even think about attempting on an ordinary weeknight. It usually involves an inordinate amount of chopping, grating or whisking. There’s usually a thermometer of some kind Involved. And at some point, a healthy amount of booze is poured into the dish. While we

When in Roma: Pizza Roma, on Bleecker Street, manages to stand out from the crowd

Written by Regan Hofmann on March 21, 2012. Posted in Arts our town downtown, Dining Our Town, Dining west side spirit, Eat & Drink, Our Town, Our Town Downtown, West Side Spirit

To open another pizzeria on Bleecker Street, home to institutions like John’s, serious newcomers like Keste and enough NYU student-targeting Famous Original Rays to start an army, seems like utter lunacy. Open in Battery Park City, on the Lower East Side, in Sheridan Square, you want to tell these delusional owners. Pretty much anywhere else, save perhaps the three square blocks of Little Italy itself,
