| | | | | | We're riding the B and V from Coney Island all the way to Forest Hills, jumping off frequently to rave about our favorite restaurants and food stores near the subway. This week’s location is 53rd and Lex, the V’s last stop in Manhattan. It’s delis and hotels everywhere you look, and it doesn’t ge...

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's The Week in Reviews. [Kalina, 1/13/06.] 1) Adam Platt becomes the first of the biggies to weigh-in on the...

Read More | | | | | | Bruni goes to midtown’s Turkish cafe Sip Sak, gives it one-star. All his favorite dishes are the “secret” ones that don’t appear on the menu. He calls Sip Sak “a kooky artist’s warped--and wonderful--canvas.” The kooky artist would be Orhan Yegan, the cafe’s principal chef and owner. Eater (a bit ... Read More | | | | | | Orhan Yegen has decided to close Sea Salt, the Turkish seafood restaurant he opened in the East Village last July. “I sold the place to an American,” the chef tells us. “He’s going to make it into a bar.” Yegen blamed the close on neighborhood demographics. “The age of those people, they don’t want ...

But that doesn't mean you can't see the real thing if you look hard enough. Consider RealMeals, a brand-ne...

As at Yegen’s East Side restaurant, Sip Sak, an array of house-ground, delicately spiced kebabs ... Read More | | | | | | Grilled fish was always one of the best options at Sip Sak, though it has been sadly marginalized on the menu at Orhan Yegen's Midtown Turkish café. So it's good to see it come into its own at Mr. Yegen's new restaurant, Sea Salt, which serves grilled fish to the exclusion of almost anything el... Read More | | | |
