Let’s face it, there is nothing like Summer Rooftop season in New York. We’re always on the hunt for the newest hotspots the city has to offer. To be honest, the usual spots in the city are starting to get old and boring! We were ecstatic to hear about Savanna Rooftop, located at the top of the Z Hotel, 11-01 43rd Avenue in Long Island City. Yes, Long Island City! Located just one train stop from midtown Manhattan.

Toriko NY (Review)

by xoJohn

Location: 76 Carmine Street, New York NY 10014

Cuisine: Japanese Omakase

Cost: $$$$

Overall: A mind-blowing culinary treat that is sure to satisfy your foodie curiosity.

Anime and Manga fans know Toriko as a popular series in which the titular character is on a quest for the ultimate feast. For us, Toriko is a fascinating new eatery in Greenwich Village, featuring Omakase style service with a focus on Yakitori or skewered meats. An Omakase style service leaves your entire meal in the hands of the chef.

Restaurant Review: Barolo East

by Sia-Alika Battle

Location: 214 East 49th Street, New York, NY 10017

Cuisine: Northeastern Italian

Best Dish: Veal Milanese. A breaded veal chop pounded to a quarter inch thinness served on the bone topped with arugula. Served with lemon to add acidity and marry flavors of the fresh greens and tender veal chop.

Cost: $$$

Overall:  A new restaurant with old world charm. Barolo East has opened just six months ago but has already become a neighborhood favorite. The welcoming outdoor patio makes for a wonderful al fresco dining experience. The brick and wood indoor décor makes for a calming dining environment.
