Food

As usual I was running late. My dining companion texted me a picture of his refreshing Margarita to make me feel even worse as I was making my way to Brooklyn. When I finally arrived, I was greeted by our spunky waiter, an annoyed friend, and the delicious scent of Mexican food. All was right in the world.

Dîner en Blanc NYC 2023

by xoJohn
New York City, the bustling metropolis that never sleeps, once again played host to one of the most iconic events of the year – Dîner en Blanc. On a crisp, late-summer evening, the Meatpacking District was transformed into a sea of elegance as four thousand attendees, clad entirely in white, gathered for the world’s largest picnic. This year’s Dîner en Blanc NYC was not just a celebration of exquisite food and wine; it was a spectacle of friendship, culture, and culinary wonder.

Once again, Citi Taste of Tennis served up a culinary evening that is hard to match. Gotham Hall was the venue for this year’s much-anticipated event that brings together the culinary and tennis world with leading chefs and top players ahead of the US Open. The one-of-a-kind experience takes place across major cities including Miami, Washington DC, Indian Wells, and London, and concludes in NYC. Created by AYS, a women-owned marketing and events agency founded in 1995, it’s a unique combination not to be missed.

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.

Tamer Mahmoud, the former Director of Operations for The Lure Group, and Ron Rodrigo, owner and operator of Rated R management own Lost Spirits, which opened in November 2022. The new hotspot to the neighborhood is a high-energy cocktail bar with all of the glamour of the past, and a Prohibition Era 1920s-inspired drink menu. We stopped by for a fun-filled night with our fellow media professionals. The invite-only group enjoyed signature drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Lost Spirits has a very sophisticated menu, which includes signatures and classic cocktails, wine, beer, and small plates utilizing locally sourced produce (from Union Square Market).

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.
