Pandang
Although I usually try to lure my family into the city when we all get together- there are a handful of times when I enjoy hopping the Hudson into the garden state in favor of visiting them. Those times would be shopping trips (malls, Costco etc), relaxing in an actual house or driving a car. It also includes eating at old favorites – and Pandang happens to be one of them. Located in South Orange NJ, this place is very easily accessible via NJ Transit train (walking distance from the station and my all time Sth Orange favorite – Town Hall Deli). And on the plus side? They knew exactly what I could/could not have and distinctly told me what contained...
Read More5 Napkin Burger
What does cheesey hamburgers and sushi rolls have in common? 5 Napkin Burger – a burger joint serving up an eclectic menu filled with several tempting burger variations and yes, sushi rolls amongst other non-relating items (pork taquitos?). With locations in and around NYC, 5 Napkin Burger got it’s start as a menu item at Nice Matin on the UWS. After receiving rave reviews of it’s burger, the boys behind Nice Matin, Simon Oren and Andy D’Amico, decided to carry the name over to a new spot. I headed over to the Hell’s Kitchen location after some company holiday party debauchery. While 5 Napkin does have gluten-free buns (!) I...
Read MoreCO-OP Food & Drink
There are times when you want a good meal, and other times when you want a fun, young scene. There are a handful of places that provide both, but they are few and far between (and difficult to get last minute reservations at). Usually I am a huge advocate of trying new restaurants/unique places when I go out to eat. However, when friends ask me for a recommendation for a birthday dinner/party, I know they aren’t looking for a Michelin star rated joint or the new farm to table eatery. Instead, they’d rather go to a place that is infiltrated with adolescence, looking more to party than to chow down. Enter CO-OP Food & Drink in the Rivington Hotel in the...
Read MoreCitrus Bar & Grill
As mentioned in the past, two cuisines that are easy to eat gluten-free are Japanese (abundance in rice) and Mexican (abundance in corn). What better idea than to marry the two into one distinct restaurant, also known as Citrus in NYC’s Upper West Side. Owner & Executive Chef Louis Lanza (also of Josie’s and Josephina), is known for his health conscience cooking and innovative menus. It is no wonder that when compiling the Citrus Gluten-Free Menu, it actually filled up 2 pages! Check this place out on a Friday or Saturday night, and it will be bustling with a young crowd. If you are looking to dine with a more demure crowd, I would try earlier in...
Read MoreKotobuki
With original locations in Hauppauge, Babylon and Roslyn, Kotobuki recently set up shop in NYC’s E. Village. Considering the fact that most of my friends hale from the island that’s long, I couldn’t escape the constant chattering about this opening. At first I tried my best to stay far away from this establishment but sooner or later, my curiousity got the best of me. What makes this Japanese restaurant so “beyond amazing”? As assumed, I walked into the restaurant and immediately spotted at least three people I knew – we were already off to a bad start. When we sat the first thing I did (per the usual) was inform my waitress that I...
