Greenwich Wine + Food Festival 2017

by Desha Winborne

On Saturday, September 23rd we spent a sun-drenched day enjoying the 2017 Greenwich Wine + Food Festival, presented by Serendipity Magazine. Held at Greenwich’s Roger Sherman Baldwin Park, the event introduces brands, restaurants, and foodies to each other via a day of demonstrations, workshops, and tastings. The day began with a Grand Tasting, where vendors offered samples of their best dishes. Restaurants and caterers from all over Connecticut presented innovative fresh flavors to the hungry guests. The dishes ranged from tacos to cupcakes, covering a wide range of tastes. One of our favorite bites of the day was Back 40 Kitchen’s delectable beef cheek taco.

Location: 120 East 39th Street, New York, NY 10016

Cuisine: Sushi

Best Dish: Although the restaurant is known for its creative sushi, the lobster mac & cheese is the stand out star.

Price: $$

Overall: The best kitschy dinner and show you didn’t know you needed to experience.

On Thursday, we celebrated the two year anniversary of Sushi Roxx and the opening of its new show “Love Roxx.” The midtown east eatery, which is designed with animated Japanese wall décor, paper lanterns, and prominent hues of red, is the concept and dream of owner Jason Apfelbaum. Along with the help of his talented, theater-trained wait staff, Apfelbaum has created a space where he says they are “not in the restaurant business,” but rather in “the feeling business.” And currently, that feeling is all about love.

Review: IL Gattopardo

by Desha Winborne

Location: 13-15 West 54th Street (Between 5th & 6th Ave), New York, NY 10019

Cuisine: Italian

Best Dish:  The meatloaf was superb. The thick slice was meaty and well seasoned topped with a delectable tomato sauce. If you prefer something lighter we recommend the Cod “in casseroule” it is moist and delicious and the vegetables make it hearty and surprisingly filling entree.

Price: $$$

Overall: Italian comfort food in an elegant atmosphere.
