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 [...]

Thymari, a surprising approach to Greek cuisine
As a Greek-American, I have grown up surrounded by Greek customs, celebrations and food (aspects which are far from mutually exclusive). Due to my more traditional cultural experience, I had not given much thought to its’ potential for modern adaptation. That is, until I dined at Thymari. Located in Astoria, a region in Queens with [...]

Veg Out: Café Blossom
Downtown on Carmine Street, it may seem like you can’t go wrong in choosing a restaurant. But not paying a visit to Café Blossom would be a critical mistake. Café Blossom is one of the many vegan restaurants from the ever-expanding Blossom restaurant line, which includes another Café Blossom on Columbus Avenue between 82nd and [...]

Veg Out: Pure Food and Wine
The night I went out to dinner for my first restaurant review, temperatures after dark had dropped below freezing. So why would I decide to visit a raw vegan restaurant on such a frigid night? Because Pure Food and Wine, despite not heating any dish above approximately 118°F, transcends the chill of winter through the power [...]

So put this eatery on your To Eat list and thank James’s Curious Flavors! For many of us our only [...]

It’s just really good Thai food
I know. The title – not too crazy, not making too much of a punny statement, not leading you out on a limb to wonder what I’m talking about. But that’s the thing about Thai Market (between 107th and 108th on Amsterdam) – it’s just really good Thai food. Thanks, Thailand For those of you [...]

Adventure Is Out There! (And so is Grilled Cheese!)
Of all the intersections, in all the neighborhoods, of all the boroughs in New York, I walk past this truck. Let me start from the beginning… I had decided early this morning that because of an unusually long stretch of free time this afternoon, I would go on a solo adventure. I started off moseying [...]

A Lovely Trip to the Spice Market
Do not be fooled by the quaint title. I did not go on an adventure with a picnic basket through a wooded meadow to visit a literal spice market, although that sounds like it would be a lot fun and probably have opportune moments to break out into song. No, I’m talking about Spice Market, [...]

Review: Burnt “Toast”
I’m going to be honest with everyone reading this post and I’m just going to say that I love cheeseburgers. A lot. As in they’re one of my favorite foods of all time. I hope I haven’t offended any vegetarians or vegans or anyone who cares about the sesame seeds on the bun. Now that [...]
