While our two weeks in New York may have been all about the food, just wandering the streets and neighbourhoods offers countless snapshots of this dynamic city. This truly is one photogenic city. Here’s a compilation of a few things that caught my eye. Times Square – Eventi Hotel plaza – Naked Cowboy – sunset [...]

I’ve never been one to watch Lidia Bastianich’s cooking programmes - Lidia’s Family Table or Lidia’s Italy. Not because I have no interest, it’s just that I never get around to sitting infront of the tv for any length of time. My love of Italian food started during my apprentiship where I learnt a moderate amount [...]

Maybe all those bridges are there to keep it [...]

On any ordinary day Union Square is part thoroughfare and part relaxation space, shaded by trees, over-run with very friendly squirrels and scattered with [...]

It’s only just occurred to me that out of all the restaurants we went to over our two weeks in New York we visited several places owned or co-owned by Iron Chef Mario Batali. The Spotted Pig being one of them, and a couple of others I’m yet to cover. Here at Casa Mono, Batali and co-owner Joseph [...]

Delicious hand-held morsels on a skewer that just scream to be devoured. What is it about food on a stick that makes a good chunk of us stand to attention? For the many East Village visits on this particular New York trip I almost had to insist that we drop by this yakitori eating house [...]

Located in the same building as Chelsea Market is a restaurant many New York visitors just want to try. Buddakan. The entrance is nothing more than a discreet door on the side of the market building with a small steel plaque indicating its location. The visuals of this place are out to impress. It’s classy. It’s [...]
