Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-04-04

April 4, 2010

Regular 46 oz V8: $3.29, "organic" 32 oz: $3.99. Guess which I'm getting? (and yes, I know I'm in an expensive supermarket) # I thought my tweet about organic vs. regular V8 was obvious, but maybe not: Hell no, I'm not paying 74% more for "organic" V8. # People. Who. Punctuate. Midsentence. Are. The. Most. [...]

Apotheke Door Guy: The Most Powerful Man in Chinatown

March 31, 2010

Classiness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, forgive me if my perception sounds skewed. It’s just that I couldn’t really behold much of anything about Apothoke from outside in the alleyway. The stars didn’t align: Apotheke Bouncer and Apotheke Door Guy never met in that sacred union that would allow for [...]

Biking to Brooklyn for a Carne Enchilada Torta at Nealtican Deli

March 21, 2010

The above title would seem to convey that my wife and I are such pigs that even the goal of our exercise is to get food. Not exactly so. In fact, before this morning’s bike trip from Queens into Brooklyn, Karen and I had no idea that a “carne enchilada torta” even existed. By the [...]

La Grenouille (means the frog, sounds like the rat, tastes like chicken)

March 19, 2010

Widely known as the last bastion of old-school, classic French dining in New York City, La Grenouille was much more relaxed than I expected it to be. Upon our entrance into the magnificent, if packed and tight-quartered, dining room, the crowd was booming. Underneath the ocean of grey hair, there were people having serious fun. [...]

Top 10 Favorite Restaurants in New York City

March 12, 2010

The only required qualification for making this list was that I had to have eaten at the restaurant more than once, though most I’ve eaten at a number of times. (After I visit Eleven Madison Park a second time, it’ll likely be added immediately!) As you might notice, it’s definitely about more than the food. [...]

Voltaggio Brothers at the James Beard House

March 10, 2010

James Beard dinners are awesome. At least, due to the fact that some chef got on an airplane with all his local ingredients and flew with them to New York City to cook you a meal. The best part is: he considers it his honor. All you did was pay for your food. Oh, and [...]
