Veg Out: Chloe’s Soft Serve Fruit Co.
For people who avoid dairy, the past few weeks or so may have been a little rough. Watching people saunter around campus with their cups of freshly swirled fro-yo, stacked high with fruit, chocolate, and granola, can leave one craving a cool, sweet, light spring treat. That’s where Chloe’s Soft Serve Fruit Co. comes in. [...]

Cadaqués, a perfect place to sample and indulge
I consider tapas synonymous with the beginning of what will become a late Spanish summer night out. That is, if you are eating quality tapas with a quality crowd. The latter portion is up to you, but the former is basically guaranteed if you end up dining at Cadaqués. As I reread that, I am [...]

Fika Fridays: Where the Fika Have You Been? (Also, Pudding)
Sometimes, life gets weird. It all happens in a very short period of time. Coincidences, accidents, fate, luck, bad luck, good luck, providence, misfortune, destiny, doom, kismet, the way the cookie crumbles. Whatever you want to call it, I’ve basically imploded emotionally this semester. But somehow, I made it through and have kept going [...]

Bucket List: People’s Pops
A few days ago marked my first trip of the season to the High Line in Chelsea. I will admit that I am a repeat lounger at this park and it was marked off the bucket list long ago, but there was something that I had been wanting to try. Every time I visited this [...]

Cupcake Comparison
After writing this blog series for a few months, I realized I hadn’t visited any of New York’s infamous cupcake vendors. But then, I couldn’t decide which one to go to because Crumbs, Magnolia Bakery, and Sprinkles all had such phenomenal reputations. So with the help of a few friends I visited each one successively [...]

Veg Out: Franchia Vegan Café
On a recent trip to a Broadway show, I decided to make it into a full evening: dinner and the show. Looking for a quiet restaurant in midtown can be difficult; looking for a quiet vegan restaurant in midtown might seem impossible. That’s why I was so impressed with Franchia Vegan Café, a Korean-inspired, Asian [...]

The Rise of Tapas & Small Plates
Like all things, food culture is subject to “fads” as certain foods, ingredients, and the like burst onto the culinary scene for their time in the limelight before receding as other tastes advance. Indeed it is this cycle of introducing new flavors and styles that makes the food scene so interesting; every year tastes change [...]

Bucket List: The Donut Pub
The donut, one of America’s finest goodies, is something I am always ready to nibble at. Coming from the South, where Krispy Kreme was founded, I grew up on donuts. However, as far as fresh, interesting and innovative flavors go, my experience is lacking. While I do think Krispy Kreme is delicious and that I [...]

Good enough to eat? Let’s see.
Good Enough to Eat consistently has a long line of hungry Manhattanites assembled alongside its outdoor white picket fence. After all, you cannot exact blame people for wanting food “good enough to eat”. The line is worthwhile, because the food is even better than good. It is classic, hearty and generous in portion size. Even if [...]

Twisted Food: Pulled Pork Waffle
When I think waffles, usually, “dessert,” “chocolate,” “cream,” “bananas,” and of course “delicious,” are the first words that come to mind. I imagine that most people would think that waffles are sweet desserts to satisfy those cravings. But it’s only in recent years that waffles took a double meaning of sweet and savory. So, when [...]
