| | | Having recently moved out of Harlem, I found that I've been missing all sorts of things I didn't expect to miss, from the creepy old guy outside the retirement home that always says "Hey, baby" to every single girl who walks by (and, once, in what must have been an incredibly surreal momen... Read More | | | | | | On our way back from the nerdiest trip, ever, we hopped off the Long Island Rail Road station at Woodside and made our way towards Jackson Heights, where I wanted to return after an anticlimactic outing the night before to a run-of-the-mill buffet at Indian Taj (not necessarily bad, but not a place ... Read More | | | | | | You'd never know it from the weather we've been having, but the word on the street is that summer is headed our way soon. And in my neighborhood, that means barbecue season will soon be upon us. Before getting the grill ready (and trying out some of the newer offerings around town), I thought I mi... Read More | | | | | | Although it's not something that I do all the time, I have an occasional hankering to embark on a truly sadistic food mission. Some of you might recall how this led to my consumption of lamb testicles. Others might have heard my swagger about, at some point, eating balut. But those who know me th... Read More | | | | | | Our quest for authentic Fuzhou fare continued at A San Fuzhou Restaurant, and I can sum up its credentials in three lines: 1. Not a word of English is seen nor spoken there; 2. Someone was smoking inside, and no one seemed to care; 3. Even the vegetarian dish had meat in it. But, oh, what a del...

Think about how much more expensive things in Hawaii are compared to California. Now think of Iceland as the Hawaii of Scandinavia. ...

A part of me that reasons that they're so dingy, uninviting, and completely oblivious to non-Chinese speakers, that there has to be something incr... Read More | | | | | | The first time I went to San Francisco (the first time I wasn't a toddler, at least), I passed by a Thai restaurant named Phuket, and had no idea how to properly pronounce its name. So when my curiosity got the better of me, I asked a waitress inside for some help. "It's poo-ket," she s... Read More | | | | | | For nearly a year, I've avoided writing about Pisticci because I liked not having to wait more than five minutes for a table at this cozy, no-frills neighborhood Italian joint near the northern tip of Morningside Heights. But the secret seems to already be out as of late, so there's no reason to de... Read More | | | | | | Until very recently, the bulk of my knowledge about Newark came from watching Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, which meant that, if I went there, (1) I would get mugged, and (2) especially if I was walking down the street with an Indian dude. Luckily, I made the trip anyway (and the Indian dude... Read More | | | |
