American Cut TriBeca Launches Cavi-Hour!

by

There are aspects for some Manhattanites who enjoy the finer things in life, and part of that is the quality of food they like to indulge in at least once a week.  One of those high end indulgences happens to be caviar, which is a delicacy that has an elegance and refinement to it that is on a whole other level.  Well, one of the top restaurants in New York City is devoting an entire happy hour around this type of cuisine, and am hoping you can join in the celebration for it all summer long!

Avoid The Usual and Head To Tres Carnes For Mexican BBQ Heaven

by

If you don’t love tacos or burritos, quite frankly I don’t want to know you.  There is so much to love about them, in terms of execution of flavor, depth, ingredients, spice, and so much more, that you must have a really weird palate to not enjoy just how great they really are.  With all of the “conglomerate” type of taco/burrito places infiltrating the city, many are finding that the unique “one off” types that make our city so fantastic are being drowned out by mass produced crap.  One place that is defying all of that with some of the best tasting tex-mex food I have ever had, is Tres Carnes, with locations on 6th Avenue between 22nd and 21st Street, and 3rd Avenue between 56th and 57th street.

Wake and Shake with Daybreaker- Pride Edition!

by

I hadn’t danced in ages when I went to Daybreaker at Space Ibiza, 637 West 50th Street on Wednesday.  I wasn’t sure what to expect and feared that I would be out of place and misfit.  I arrived at 5:30am; early enough to be the third person in line.  The first person in line was a gentleman in his 50’s in a polo shirt and some cargo shorts.  I wondered about being in the right place until I noticed the person between us slapping on temporary glitter tattoos and a rainbow headband.  Her name was Kay, she had been there before, and her advice was, “get a few of the good drinks first before they are gone.”  Bottles of cold brew coffee, juices, and coconut water were provided for everyone, free of charge.
