Previously, I recommended SkyIce as my go-to Thai lunch spot, and I now have another to recommend in Brooklyn: National. I’ve been visiting once a week for the past month. It’s a good lunch spot for dining in and taking out. The restaurant itself has friendly...
Manhattan’s Chinatown is world-famous for its plethora of Chinese options, and it’s a great place to fill the occasional craving— for Cantonese food, that is. But there’s only so much a girl can take, so we turned to Flushing’s Fu Run Restaurant (赋润东北美食) for a change...

I go in cycles of food obsessions. They’re like cravings, only they go on for weeks at a time, are very specific, and sometimes indecent. I had a flaming affair with the spicy fried chicken at K Town Chicken & Hof. For almost two months, I dragged my friends there...
While on a last minute trip to New York City, I stayed in Midtown West’s new Viceroy hotel, which opened late last year. Great stay. I even received amenities and a note from the general manager (ooops, too bad it was addressed to a Ms. Lisa ___). Thanks Lisa! Having...
Get pumped. There’s a new lunch option which promises to be fresh, tasty and still leave you plenty of time to stalk OKCupid. New York-based Sophie’s Cuban Cuisine opened last week in the former Cafe Asia space and is already winning fans with its authentic,...
