Having hailed from Tucson, Arizona, where the idea of consuming tiny  burgers and other hilariously small delicacies was but a dream, we were more than pleased to find upon moving to Greenwood Heights that but one block from our humble apartment shone the inviting signs of cuisine-masters White Castle. The awesomeness of a certain film [...]

8. FondueAny meal composed almost entirely of melted cheese automatically earns a spot in my heart, as well as on this list. However, I’m not falling for those trendy restaurants that serve up various versions of fondue that in no way resemble real fondue, like chocolate or broth for dipping meat into. Yes, I know [...]

Liz, Chris and I have been searching for a halfway-decent Mexican restaurant in New York for going on three years now, as you might know if you’ve been reading our other Mexican food reviews.  I’m pleased to announce that we may have found the answer to our prayers in Tacos Matamoros Restaurant.  A fairly new [...]

Back in the day we loved McSalad Shakers so, but then for some reason they took them off the market. But not before we had learned the wonder and convenience that is making your meal better by shaking:We waited ten years, but now it’s finally here, the product to replace our shattered dreams. Behold Arby’s [...]

For those of you who either don’t know me or are bad friends, I’ll fill you in on one very important fact about yours truly: I really, really like Totino’s Party Pizza.  It isn’t simply a love of pizza that possesses me to make the journey to the store so often for those sweet discs [...]

One of the awesome things about living in the South Slope/North Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights area is the abundance of Mexican cuisine.  It took us a while to get used to it, coming from Tucson where Sonoran, Oaxacan and Mexico City style Mexican food is the norm.  Here in Brooklyn, the restaurants offer not the refried bean-and-cheese [...]

Beet (or beet, in that stylish lower-case style so many restaurants seem to be adopting these days) is a chic, beautifully designed Thai restaurant that is as narrow as a hole-in-the-wall joint, but looks like a stylish lounge.  Indeed, with the large selection of liquor, this wouldn’t be a bad place to hang out on [...]

The highway was packed with cars and Liz felt like a slimy fish in between all the giant vehicles. The small silver Volvo she drove was so old and rickety that she feared for its rider’s safety, but that hadn’t stopped her and her best friend from embarking on a trip to Boston. Laura slouched [...]

Perhaps it wasn’t in the stars that we would have anything resembling a good time on the fateful evening we ventured to Sahara East.  We chose this East Village hookah bar as our very own Chris’ birthday celebration location, and on paper this place seemed to offer quite the time. What better place to ring [...]

I’m most definitely someone who enjoys delicious cuisine and the wonders that it provides both to the palate and the belly. Nothing is more sad a sight to my eyes than a table full of stick-thin models pondering whether or not to partake in that last bite of dressingless lettuce. I prefer to eat both often [...]
