Have you ever had one of those nights where everything starts out wrong and ends up so right? That was a recent Monday night for me. A date cancelled on me last minute (strep throat) and I found myself done with the gym at 6 pm, dressed up nicer than usual with no where to go. Instead of wasting my outfit and falling into a Netflix … Continue reading Aldo Sohm Wine Bar
Finding good breakfast food in Midtown West is a near impossible task. Whenever I commute from my parents house in New Jersey, I find myself at Port Authority, stomach grumbling with time to kill before walking the 10 blocks and 2 avenues to work. Finding something delicious is near impossible. Or so I thought. Thanks to my handy-dandy FourSquare (which I trust far more then … Continue reading Donna Bell’s Bake Shop
As a New York native, the Theater District scares me. Flashing signs for both Broadway Shows and dreadful restaurants (yes, Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar, I’m looking at you) line the 40s between 7th and 8th Avenue. When you finish work at 6pm in Midtown and have 8pm theater tickets (Book of Mormon!!), you have very little choice then to suck it up and eat … Continue reading Don Antonio
Just like it’s sister restaurant, Yakitori Totto transports you from the streets of New York to Tokyo. As you ascend up the stairs of this seemingly sketchy Midtown West restaurant, located on the 2nd floor of a side street building, you begin to question where you are headed. But once you reach the top of the staircase, any fears are quickly alleviated. I always try … Continue reading Yakitori Totto
I never recommend Midtown as a hot spot for brunch or most dining experiences, for that matter. Instead, I redirect tourist friends to the likes of the Village or Uptown, causing them to steer away from over priced culinary traps. So when my friend, Vildana sent me a drop pin with our brunch location at 53rd and Broadway, I was a bit hesitant. She had … Continue reading Maison
Even though I call Rockefeller Plaza my home away from home, I am always still in awe of its magnitude and greatness. The fountain in the summer and rink and Christmas Tree in the winter make me beam with pride and joy. The best part of the summer used to be drinks on the “rink,” which transforms into an outdoor dining area and bar during … Continue reading Rock Center Cafe

The battle of the Iced Coffee. I consider myself a coffee addict. It started as a young, innocent little girl ordering decaf cappuccinos which evolved into a Starbucks Barista in high school, and now has finally culminated in my days as a working adult. When Blue Bottle Coffee opened in the concourse of 30 Rock, I was pretty intimidated. At $4 a cup with no … Continue reading Blue Bottle Coffee
30 Rockers, listen up. Your culinary life is about to change. Instead of meeting my friend who works on 53rd and 6th in the concourse in my building per usual, he suggested I venture all the way across the street to Cafe Duke. I had never even heard of this place, since like most people that work here, I hardly leave the building. I made … Continue reading Cafe Duke
On an adventure for steaks, my friend Jacqui and I ended up at Bobby Flay’s joint Bar Americian. We had decided on here, because we were able to get a reservation before 10pm on a Friday night, and there was definitely a reason why. The food was delicious, but the decor felt like an outdated 80s hotel. The service was awkward and rude, the women came … Continue reading Bar Americain
