Butler Hospitality Launches at Manhattan Hotels & Beyond

by

As someone who has had his fare share of staying in hotel rooms for Manhattan Digest, a common thread that seems to fall on the negative is the lack of good room service within each location.  As time has gone by, it seems like hotel guests are less likely to use room service, including food offerings in house, in lieu of going out and seeing what each city has to offer.  While that is fair, this is a concept that shouldn’t be eliminated at all, and Butler Hospitality is planning on revitalizing room service in the upcoming 2017 calendar year.

American Cut Midtown’s Sleek Vibes & Tasty Food Wins Us Over

by

It is very rare for me to use the word “swanky” when it comes to the restaurants I review, however American Cut Midtown seems to have the pictured definition of that in the foodie textbook of Manhattan.  At the helms of culinary superstar Marc Forgione, American Cut Midtown gets a slam dunk with its visual appeal, not to mention scrumptious dinner options that myself and a guest dined on last night.

Harding’s Delicious American Fare Delights Flatiron

by

Harding’s is one of the few restaurants that I have written up in Manhattan Digest where second time is truly the charm.  My first experience there was two years ago when I devoured their amazing brunch options for me to enjoy.  This time around, it was all things dinner at this colorful and fun Flatiron location, which treated me to a variety of their upscale American fare.  I left feeling happy, satisfied, and more.

Mustang Harry’s Tasty Food & Ambiance Lights Up Midtown

by

As someone who works directly in the heart of midtown Manhattan, I find that a lot of the choices for food tend to be bland, conglomerate-based, and generally just not good in terms of taste and uniqueness.  Mustang Harry’s, however, does not factor into that equation, as they are one of the few eateries surrounding Penn Station that is great for many different reasons.  With its spacious interior, delicious food and friendly vibes, it is definitely one of the best places to go to before the big game, concert, or just for a fun night out.

Dig Inn Brings Better Options for Breakfast on the UES

by

I’ve been a fan of Dig Inn for years.  Founder/CEO Adam Eskin and Culinary Director Matt Weingarten’s special approach to wholesome, locally-sourced, and vegetable dominant dishes sets them apart from other fast service restaurants.  I say “fast service” because this certainly isn’t fast food, and the service from the folk behind the counter is genuinely kind.  When i was a personal trainer, I would tell clients that this was one of their best options for quick dining out.  The meals are nutrient rich and because they are made of whole, quality ingredients (you easily identify what everything is on your plate) it was simple for them to log the food they were eating.  The food is delicious too, with a homecooked look and taste, you won’t feel you have abandoned your kitchen, but simply visited it elsewhere.

Trademark Taste + Grind Shines in Midtown

by

I tend to avoid parts of midtown Manhattan like the plague, especially around quitting time when it can become a cluster to get through.  No matter what though, good food is good food, so naturally I was excited to stop by Trademark Taste + Grind last night with a friend to see what all the fuss was about.  The overall experience was worth the trek and then some, for so many different reasons.
