Cocktails

New York City’s West Village is hiding a gem. It’s called Chomp Chomp! This hidden gem is where Chef Simpson Wong is serving up flavorful Singaporean Food. Wong is giving New Yorkers an authentic taste of Singaporean hawker food. What is hawker food? It’s similar to street food, though in Singapore, street food vendors have been housed in open-air food courts called hawker centers for decades now. His menu is a litany of Singaporean specialties, many of which are incredibly hard to find in the United States.

We stopped by Chomp Chomp a few days ago where Chef Simpson Wong prepared a few popular Singaporean dishes. My favorites were the following:

Project Sara presents new chefs to the masses with its unique dining experience: Dinner Reconstructed. The concept created by founder Viraj Borkar invites foodies, and gourmets in training, to enjoy an evening of unique dishes and specialty cocktails. The events take place all across the city in chic pop-up spaces created specifically for the evening’s festivities. We were fortunate enough to attend the inaugural dinner last week. For their first official dinner party guests enjoyed cocktails by Jeremy Buck and a sumptuous meal by Chef Eve Garcia. Partygoers gathered in an intimate space within the infamous Starrett-Lehigh building on Manhattan’s west side. Though the location was beautifully decorated and perfect for its purpose the next Dining Reconstructed event will likely be held somewhere else. The concept is that of a speakeasy or a rave; a mobile members-only event that can be held anywhere across the city, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the menu less dining experience.

Summers Are Made For Rooftop Fun

by xoJohn

The post is sponsored by American Honey.

One of the most amazing things about living in New York City is summertime! The outdoor festivals, live music, swimming pools, picnics in the park, boat cruises, and rooftops, all just some of the things to admire about a New York summer. There is so much to do in the big apple and the amount of fun is endless. When New York finally gets some solid summer weather, I had an idea to gather some new friends and associates, whom I’ve met over the past year for a relaxing evening of fun.

Location: 57 East 57th Street (Ty Bar at The Four Seasons Hotel)

Items: 6 Cocktails, 4 Small Plates, 2 Desserts

Best Drink: Though we thoroughly enjoyed one of the most luxurious Old Fashions ever created the star of the night was the Meridian. The zesty citrus and warm cinnamon flavors are a winning combination

Atmosphere: The atmosphere is relaxed luxury.

Overall: Despite the opulent surroundings the vibe is very comfortable and easy. The bar services a unique mix of ages, so don’t expect a wild night of drunken debauchery. Instead go with the intent to eat, drink and be merry.

Kickoff Memorial Weekend with These Recipes

by xoJohn

Everybody knows we really kick off summer during memorial day week, despite the calendar listing June 21st at the official date for summer. The newest wine brand from Diageo Chateau & Estates, Truvée, is derived from the French word meaning “to find.” The Truvée Red Blend varietal is a natural pairing with summer grilling – produced in partnership with Susan Palmer, The Girl In The Little Red Kitchen, the Blackberry Chipotle Truvée Red Wine Barbecue Sauce is a mouth-wateringly delicious and classy addition for summer dinner parties.
