Memorial day weekend is the perfect excuse to dust off that sexy outfit and head out for a night on the town. The weather is just right for a moonlit rendezvous at one of New York City’s trendiest nightspots. Though there are many to choose from we recommend Monarch. This rooftop and indoor lounge are located on the 18th floor of the Marriot Courtyard, Herald Square. The location is right in the heart of midtown and offers a great view of the city below. We visited the lounge earlier this week for a quick bite and libations. Having been to Monarch before we were excited to see the new seasonal menu items.

Carrageenan: When food science makes things better

The food industry changes constantly and new studies reveal what is safe – or not – for our daily diets. And many times food science is responsible for these changes. By using food science we can meet the increased need for basic products like milk or juice. And that need was created by the world’s growing population. In other words, without food science, many people would not have access to food and thousands of products wouldn’t exist.

9 Summer Cocktails You Should Try by Whiskey Manhattan Moonshine

by xoJohn May 11, 2016

As mixologists continue to push the envelope with wilder seasonal cocktail ingredients and as more people begin to explore Whiskey, a need has arisen for a Whiskey that is approachable enough for new Whiskey drinkers and versatile enough to be able to be mixed into an ever-widening array of cocktails.

Enter Manhattan Moonshine, a Whiskey that is aged for less than an hour, meaning that it does not have the heavier barrel flavors that make aged Whiskeys harder to mix and less approachable for new drinkers. No heavy barrel flavors mean that Manhattan Moonshine can be used as the base of any cocktail, replacing everything from Tequila in Margaritas to Vodka in Cosmopolitans.

Location: 15 Avenue B

Cuisine: Belgian Waffles

Best Dish: Speculoos spread is our new favorite treat. We could honestly put that on everything. However, the star of the evening was the Southern Belle. It was decadent and surprisingly filling.

Overall: A cozy fun eatery with unlimited options and variations. A nice place for adventurous eaters who love to mix and match flavors. Good for a casual date or a full on pig out session with a few of your favorite people.

Review: Serafina Harlem

Location: 1260 Amsterdam Avenue

Cuisine: Italian

Best Dish: Anytime homemade pasta is offered on a menu you simply have to try it. Serafina Harlem’s pasta has great texture and when paired with any of their sauces delivers a mind-blowing culinary masterpiece. Of the many pasta dishes we sampled, the Paglia and Fieno was the star. The creamy sauce and fresh basil were a delicious combination.
