Lumbershack

Shake Shack is now offering something called the Lumbershack. Much like a lumberjack at a diner, this involves bananas, bacon and maple syrup.  But this one is… different. Read what Ed Levine had to say about it.

WTW – Daddy’s

Daddy’s is the bar down the street from my apartment.  It’s nothing too special and, if anything, verges on being a little too hipster for this edge of Williamsburg.  But I like them for the frozen margaritas and outdoor back patio.  What to wear?  Recently, I arrived wearing my grey Earnest Sewn jeans + Surface [...]

Keste

These are rosetti that I devoured last night at Keste, which is, I think, my favorite pizza now. I’ve been saying that Co is in my #1 spot, but last night’s dinner may have beat the bunch.  The quality of the dough was similar, but Keste had an irresistible char to it.  Also, I preferred [...]

Dumont Burger

Cincinnati Night

I consider it my duty to remind New Yorkers that there exists a night once a month on which even we can feast on Graeter’s Ice Cream.  Cincinnati Night at Edwards in Tribeca is upon us. The email I just received, ‘nuf said: 54rd CINCINNATI NIGHT AT EDWARD’S, 136 WEST BROADWAY (BETWEEN THOMAS & DUANE) [...]

The Dish’s Dish Caters to Ricki Lake

Last night at Citibabes, The Dish’s Dish stocked hungry Ricki Lake fans with outstanding nibbles.  Josie Gordon, with help from our insatiable student, Sarah, prepared an assortment of dishes that proved to be irresistible. While Ricki spoke about childbirth (the main topic of discussion for the evening), we passed tomato sushi and chicken and apricot [...]
