Raymond’s
Mother’s Day would not be complete without a cheesy Hallmark card, a bouquet of flowers and a brunch reservation. This year, instead of having my mom haul into the city, we bravely bus’ed it to the garden state (aka New Jersey) and made our way to Raymond’s in Montclair. Raymond’s does not take reservation so I was a little skeptical of having a long wait to be seated, especially since my Saturday night hangover was starting to set in. Maybe because it was Jersey or maybe because everyone else decided to make a reservation elsewhere - our wait was only about 20 minutes. Ample time for a gift exchange with mom and some photo ops with the...
Read MoreLittle Prince
Situated on Prince St. in SoHo, the restaurant honors its block by reflecting it in its name. But that’s not the only reference here. Little Prince or Le Petit Prince is also the name of a French book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. And, with more than 140 million copies sold, it happens to be one of the best selling books worldwide. A French restaurant on Prince St. Quite a play on words if you ask me. Chef Paul Denamiel (of Le Rivage) did a wonderful job transforming this spot into a quaint French bistro with open air doors – perfect for the Spring that has finally arrived in NYC. Being that it just recently opened, I am sure the menu...
Read MoreCafe Mogador
Unless you reside in Williamsburg or the East Village, not many people are familiar with the quant cafe known as Mogador. Family owned and operated since 1983 in the E. Village, Cafe Mogador recently expanded across the river in Williamsburg. Having been to the original, I decided to check out the BK spot after scoping out the seasonal opening of Smorgasburg. Serving up Moroccan & Mediterranean cuisine, it is super easy to not only eat gluten-free, but relatively healthy & clean – if you order correctly. Not only does this happen to be some of my favorite food, but Mogador serves up everything so exceptionally well, I would probably frequent this...
Read MoreEgg, Bacon & Hash Brown Breakfast Quesadilla
To show appreciation and a token of thanks for U.S. servicemen and women in uniform, the Kenmore brand will be serving up a special, taste-of-home breakfast to hundreds of military personnel during New York Fleet Week on the flight deck of the iconic Intrepid aircraft carrier. Kenmore invited home cooks from across the country to submit their favorite home-style breakfast recipe for the chance to have it served at Fleet Week on May 24, and to win other great prizes. With each entry, Kenmore donates $5 to Heroes at Home to support active military service members, veterans & their families. I decided it was a perfect cause and excuse to cook up a hearty breakfast...
Read MoreEl Toro Blanco
From the acclaimed chef that brought you Burger & Barrel & Lure Fishbar comes El Toro Blanco, a Mexican joint in the West Village. Having covered the likes of seafood and pub fare, throwing a south of the border twist into the Capon restaurant line up was a brilliant choice. I can’t help but to think of la flama blanco everytime I hear the name, however the white bull (literally) is kicking some major matador ass and serving up what I like to dub: deliciosa comida With an inside reminiscent of my grandparents kitchenette, the warm feeling that encompasses the interior of the restaurant draws you in and makes you feel right at home. You know what else makes...
