Restaurant Review: Lovecraft Bar NYC

by Desha Winborne July 13, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 50 Avenue B, New York, NY 10009

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: Two Words- Lobster Tacos. These are an amazing hybrid between a lobster roll and a fish taco. The crunchy shell holds up well with the large chunks of delicious lobster meat.

Overall: It’s more than a bar it’s an event. Despite its horror themed appearance Lovecraft is a fun relaxed place with a friendly staff and really good food. It’s a good place to enjoy after work or with a few friends. The space also makes a great venue for a first date the decor alone will give you something to talk about and if you’re lucky, Troy will be there to supply the soundtrack to your new love story.

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:

Good Eats at Dining Reconstructed: Project Sara

by Desha Winborne June 18, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

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.

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.

Cocktails at Ty Bar (The Four Seasons Hotel)

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

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.
