Since Hurricane Sandy, the historic South Street Seaport continues to rise like a Phoenix from the ashes. From the food emporium Tin Building Jean-George to the hip restaurants like Tuck Room, Funny Face Bakery, and the new Restaurant Pearl, the area has been revitalized in the culinary department. You must find a restaurant on the water for a quintessential South Street Seaport dining experience. Enter one of the newest restaurants the seaport has to offer, Cobble Fish.

Restaurant Review: Sweet Catch Brooklyn

by xoJohn

Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn has a new gem everyone should check out. It’s called Sweet Catch and it brings the flavors of the Carolinas to New York City. The new hot spot is the brainchild of Ka-Wana Jefferson, a Bronx native, who has a passion for good culinary experiences. I stopped by on a beautiful Saturday morning for Brunch and was immediately captivated by the serene environment as you opened the doors. The space is decorated with a southern style decor and hosts many photos which showcase black culinary history and Heritage.

Restaurant Review: Il Tinello East

by xoJohn

For over 35 years Il Tinello has blessed Midtown Manhattan with its classic Italian cuisine. The west side has enjoyed a feast of handmade pasta sumptuous sauces and incredible hospitality and now that same energy has been brought to the east side.  Just a few blocks from the historic Grand Central Station is Il Tinello’s 2nd location. The 75-seat dining space is in a cozy nook on 46th street. At the entrance step up a few stairs to the hostess and take in the quaint dimly lit area.  We sat at a nice quiet table in the rear of the restaurant.

Though the name is clear, the annual Taste of the Upper West Side doesn’t just resonate with those living in the neighborhood. As an Upper East Side gal, I make it a mission to hop on the bus and attend this unforgettable culinary experience each year after discovering it pre-pandemic. Now in its 14th year, the Taste of the Upper West Side is proudly hosted by The Columbus Avenue Business Improvement District and ensures that the proceeds from the annual fundraiser go back into the community and help fund neighborhood projects.
