Is there any feeling more satisfying than cutting into a soft-boiled egg and realizing you freaking nailed it? I’ll embarrass myself by admitting it either do a little jump for joy or exclaim “yes!” This mini celebration has become more of a common occurrence lately after I feel like I seemingly unlocked the key to the perfect cook. After a lot of trial and error, and … Continue reading Perfect Six-Minute Eggs
I’ve been dreaming of the Hart and the Hunter biscuits since I first tasted them in April; the crunchy outside, buttery interior paired with sweet honey butter and at the time, a sweet potato jam. I ventured here during my last trip to LA after reading about the cute spot on Melrose in my favorite blog, Cupcakes and Cashmere, and was incredibly impressed. So, when … Continue reading The Hart and the Hunter
My number one complaint about living on the Upper West Side is the lack of food options. Oh, and the lack of non-wine bars, but that’s a story for a different post. Similar to me, Jacob’s Pickles joined the Upper West Side scene in late 2011. It filled a much needed void for the young foodie wanted to throw back a few beers with friends … Continue reading Maison Pickle
To place Federal Diner in the same category as the greasy, burnt coffee joints off of the Garden State Parkway is unfair. In fact, it’s a travesty. Because if the roles were reversed, if a local from Lake Wanaka were to hop off their flight at Newark Airport and see the familiar words ‘Diner’ and think they were about to devour a warm heavenly cheese … Continue reading Federal Diner
Founding Farmers could have so easily fallen into the category of places for “betches who brunch.” Reservations are hard to come by, cocktails are strong, dishes are super Instagram-worthy (with a menu that encourages tagging all your #foodporn), and it’s located in the heart of Foggy Bottom near George Washington University. Yet, somehow, it avoids teetering into the betchy category. Matchbox Twenty plays at the … Continue reading Founding Farmers
Experience your own little version of wonderland tucked away on the South Side of Bedford in Williamsburg. Rabbithole, complete with hidden homages’ to the book Alice In Wonderland, serves delightful brunch with a hospitable wait staff in their charming back garden. I stumbled upon Rabbithole by accident, almost in an Alice like sense, seeking the perfect spot for a light meal, outside on a gorgeous … Continue reading The Rabbithole
Half-market, half-cafe, fully delicious. Joan’s on Third is a Los Angeles favorite, causing this city hot spot to even expand to a location off of Third (although keeping the same name). There’s a reason why crowds gather for brunch or lunch, or even a quick bite to go. The food is excellent. It’s a very “LA” kind of spot with fresh ingredients being the primary … Continue reading Joan’s on Third
A visit to the gorgeous Brooklyn Museum of Art prompted a food adventure in the unexplored neighborhood of Crown Heights. As my Dad reminisced about spending Sundays as a 10-year-old boy exploring the exhibits, I decided to find a restaurant with a similar lengthy history. Tom’s Restaurant (not to be confused with the famous Seinfeld spot of the same name) has been an institution since … Continue reading Tom’s Restaurant
Take the Walk (or drive) of Pride to visit the ultimate Slut. EggSlut that is. In downtown Los Angeles lies Grand Central Market, a bustling hall filled with produce stands, tacos and even Jewish style bagels. Maneuver your way from the Parking Garage past the delicious smelling ethnic foods to the end of the market, where you will find your new favorite spot; EggSlut. A restaurant … Continue reading EggSlut
Two self-proclaimed Egg addicts turned their obsession into profit, transforming a small Nolita space into a restaurant dedicated to their favorite food. The incredible, edible and extremely versatile egg is showcased in a variety of dishes at Egg Shop. The adorable restaurant fills the space with rustic furniture and egg inspired-decor. Little egg shells filled with flowers, and egg shaped salt and pepper shakers. And for some … Continue reading Egg Shop
