The Dutch is a joint that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is. How's that for a non-committal, god-awful intro to a restaurant review? So, Mr. Hips...
From the team that brought you Cookshop and Five Points (R.I.P.) comes my latest foray into the sustainable world of coziness. And, yes, Hundred Acres is...
It's amazing how many different cuisines have the standby chicken-over-rice combo. In this case you have Korean -- or, rather, Korean fusion. Now, I grew up in ...
I forgot that I had been to this place years ago. I liked it then, and I like it now. This nice, little cozy dark space is like a brick-lined beer and wine ...
This place, with its ship-like look and smell, is dangerously teetering on the precipice of theme restaurantdom. Modeled to resemble what, in my extremely limit...
There's no way to not feel just a wee bit hip when sitting in one of these faux French brasserie joints. I'm honestly not even sure what qualifies a place a...
Way back in the day when Mr. Hipster used to work down in SoHo, I used to get K & P takeout all the time. I remember it being amazingly inconsistent, bu...
Let's start off by saying that Puck Fair is not for the faint of heart. It's not scary or seedy or anything, but gets so crowded on weekends that some have ...

As a cinema studies minor, I took a lot of classes in the visual arts college at my university. All of these classes involved doing nothing more than watchi...
Let's just start this off by saying that Mexican food is almost always a crowd pleaser. Very rarely will you get a "no" when suggesting the tantalizing flav...
For all of us Francophobes out there, welcome to Balthazar, a taste of Paris without the stinky Seine, language barriers and hydrocephalic mimes. Modeled to loo...
It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. We're not usually big on the SoHo lounge scene. Maybe it's because we still think short-sleeve polyester shirts...
Sometimes progress takes a backseat to tradition. Most of the time progress means bulldozing the past and paving it over with some shiny new metal toy... Thank ...
Although this bar is harder to find than a scud bunker in Kazakhstan, it's definitely worth the search to enjoy at least one drink in this Russian themed lo...
Ok, so the food is nothing to write home about, and the art on the walls looks like something out of a psychotic gym teacher's pictorial memoir, but this ca...
