Location: 30 W 30th St, New York, NY 10001

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: The Salmon was excellent, the combination of fish and veggies was well thought out. The Cricket Pizza was also amazing, we could eat that jalapeño pesto on anything.

Cost: $$$

Overall: A whimsical destination for Instagram worthy dishes in an artistic atmosphere.

As you may or may not know, David Burke is an acclaimed American Chef with decades of experience. His latest endeavor, Woodpecker, is an experiment of sorts abandoning gas stovetops for the classic wood burning stove.

At Hooters, You’ll Find Craveable Food, Wings, and Now Brunch

by Desha Winborne June 14, 2018

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 155 West 33^rd Street

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: Wings are a must, but were you aware of the fish tacos? The tacos are superb!

Overall: A fun friendly sports bar with good drinks and tasty food.

Cost: $$

If all you know of Hooters is tight t-shirts and orange hotpants you are doing your taste buds a grave injustice. From shareable appetizers to decadent desserts you can satisfy your comfort food cravings here. The first Hooters opened over 30 years ago and since then over 400 locations have been opened across the globe. We visited their New York City location on 33rd Street for a meal and a few drinks. This location is equipped with two dining rooms, a small gift shop and several mounted flat screen TVs. The screens are positioned to allow a good view of the game from any seat in the house. We’ve enjoyed plenty of meals at Hooters over the years but we rarely stray from the usual wings and fries. For our visit, however, we indulged our curiosity and had some lesser-known dishes.

Explore Bear Mountain with Classic Harbor Line

by xoJohn June 5, 2018

written by xoJohn 1 minutes read

Cruises on the Hudson are a Summertime thrill that we look forward to every year. The warm breeze and scenic landscape have become a familiar and cherished indulgence. One our favorite ways to cruise is with Classic Harbor Line. Their well-managed fleet always provides a fun, safe experience. Their most luxurious vessels are the Manhattan and Manhattan II. Each yacht is designed with classic details, featuring a bright interior lounge below as well as a magnificent outer deck with seating. Last year we spent a full day on their cruise to Poughkeepsie. This year we decided to try their Bear Mountain excursion. The Bear Mountain cruise begins at pier 62 in Chelsea, from there it’s a three-hour cruise to Bear Mountain State Park. The ship docks for three full hours at the park before heading back to Chelsea.

Review: Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern

by Desha Winborne March 28, 2018

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 93 MacDougal Street, New York N.Y. 10012

Cuisine: Italian (Pizza)

Best Dish: The pasta was tasty and the meatballs unforgettable but the pizza reigns supreme.

Price:$$

Overall: A quaint restaurant with old-school charm and amazing pizza. An ideal option for all pizza/pasta lovers.

New Yorkers know good pizza, we all possess the innate ability to ferret out the very best in saucy cheesy goodness. As a result, the argument over the best in the big apple is one that will rage on to infinity. Each boro has their go-to pizza place, one of Staten Island’s favorites is Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern.

Brunch at La Pulperia Hell’s Kitchen

by xoJohn February 16, 2018

Location: 371 West 46th Street New York, NY

Cuisine: Rustic Latin

Best Dish: The Lobster Taquitos was an outstanding dish. The crispy wontons held up well against the succulent lobster filling.

Price: $$

Overall: If you’re looking for more than a boozy brunch La Pulperia’s Drag brunch will give you an experience worth sharing. This isn’t a show for the overly sensitive or easily offended. Prepare to have a good old, adults only good time.

Review: Demarchelier Restaurant

by James Bianca February 7, 2018

written by James Bianca 1 minutes read

Location: 50 East 86^th Street (At Madison Avenue) New York, NY 10028

Price: $$$

Overall: It’s a little taste of Paris’ La Rive Gauche (the Left Bank) on the Upper East Side. A night in this sweet French restaurant may leave you expecting to wander out onto cobblestone streets – and not into a sea of yellow cabs.
