Pete's Tavern came into being when Abraham Lincoln was president. In the midst of The Civil War. I'm honestly trying to imagine someone way back then thinking "...
One can't help but think of The Sopranos when looking at this pork store. Granted, it's in the middle of the West Village and not Newark, but certainly smacks o...
There's nothing like reviewing a beer garden in the dead of winter. Though calling Birreria a beer garden is a bit of a misnomer, despite all outward appearance...
I somehow walked by Kenny's Castaways probably around a million times in my early life and never went inside. Something about the joint repelled me. Maybe it's ...
I gotta admit that I was a little hesitant about coming to this place for more than a couple reasons. The first of which was its location. It is literally at th...
Welcome to the most expensive food court in the known world. Otherwise known as the Time Warner Center. And while A Voce isn't the priciest of the bunch, it...
Rumor has it that there is food and shit served in this joint. I have my doubts. The only reason to come here, as far as I'm concerned, is for the two-for-one m...
Old school is both a good and bad thing when it comes to food. There are old school places that have become institutions and churn out great food still. But the...
It's what I like to call The Sopranos effect. If they shot an episode of the show in a restaurant, or anyone from the cast ate in your joint, it instantly becom...
Expectations are a bitch. Not that I knew exactly what to expect from the red-headed fat dude with the ponytail who loves to serve organ meat and weird sea crea...
Eating a piping hot slice of lasagna after downing like seven beers is never a good idea. It can only lead to pain and Italian heartache. Once I hosed down ...
Going to any place on Restaurant Row can be dicey. Known more for getting the theater early birds in and out in time to see their shows than haute cuisine, some...
Now why would an owner of a restaurant go ahead and put a date in the name of his restaurant? Unless this place opened in like 1948 (it actually opened in 1999)...
Reopened: Minetta Tavern (II)
The fact that this thing is just getting its place on The Survey in late 2007 is pretty funny. I've been doing this for a few ...
I can't hear the name Otto without thinking about the worst mascot in college sports history. I'm speaking, of course, about the smiling piece of fruit that is ...
Eating with Hipster Jr. always taints reviews a bit. Trying to enjoy an adult meal with a squirmy two-year-old is like Picasso trying on glasses or Paris Hi...
The problem with writing reviews on this site is that I often attend meals and whatnot with friends and loved ones. More times than not I end up at these plac...
It took everything I had not to turn down the invite to go here for lunch. If it weren't my boss doing the inviting, and his credit card doing the paying, I nev...
