New Restaurant Opening: Betony

NYC Nom Nom — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 02:16:37 +0000

When it comes to top restaurants, I find it very hard to judge fairly when I’m comparing a Tasting Menu to just about anything else. For instance, our Top 10 contains 9 restaurants that were either Tasting Menus or Prix Fixe. But seeing as though our Numero Uno of ALL TIME was Eleven Madison Park, [...]

So sorry I have been lagging behind in my blogs. Turns out, getting married is a lot of work! The countdown is officially less than 1 month. I hope to have much more time to blog once we are hitched and return from our honeymoon. We are doing an ultimate food getaway and road tripping [...]

Prune for Dinner

NYC Nom Nom — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:00:23 +0000

Mike and I have been to Prune before, but only for (a marvelous) brunch. Prune was so marvelous, in fact, that it ranked in at number 10 of the Top 10 Noms of 2012. We vowed to come back for dinner, and nearly a year later, we finally did. I thought they didn’t accept reservations, [...]

Bouchon – Time Warner Center (And our adventure in getting a French Laundry reservation!)

NYC Nom Nom — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:00:32 +0000

We were on a shopping adventure this past weekend and it took us to The Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. (For you non-natives, The Time Warner Center is right on the Southwest corner of Central Park, on 59th Street at the convergence of 8th Ave/Central Park West and Broadway. It is filled with mostly higher end [...]

Tenpenny- A surprisingly great meal near Broadway

NYC Nom Nom — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:41:22 +0000

We live near Broadway, so we go out in the area more than most. The Broadway/Times Square area is not known for having great food. There are some gems, but almost the entire area is over priced, over crowded, and underwhelming. We were looking for another hidden gem so I pulled open my Immaculate Infatuation [...]

Portland, ME: David’s Opus 10

NYC Nom Nom — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:00:49 +0000

High on the list of places to try in Portland, Maine was David’s Opus 10. I have been hearing about it more and more since it opened this past November, and it made a few appearances on the Soup to Nuts: Maine food experts dish about their restaurant favorites article. The menu is a 9-course Tasting Menu [...]

Portland, ME: Local 188

NYC Nom Nom — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:00:21 +0000

We have really enjoyed the food scene in Portland, Maine, and I feel incredibly lucky that we have been able to spend 4 separate visits in Maine this past year (all these wedding trips have been awesome!) When inquiring about any “must eats” we haven’t tried yet, Local 188 came up from a few different [...]

Alder: The new restaurant from WD-50′s Wylie Dufresne

NYC Nom Nom — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 03:01:13 +0000

Mike and I are huge fans of the restaurant WD-50 and really appreciate the amazing ingenuity of chef Wylie Dufresne. We have done the incredible tasting menu at WD-50 twice now, and it currently ranks as the #2 restaurant of all time on our list. So when Chef Wylie announced he was opening up a more [...]

Portland, Maine: In’finiti Fermentation and Distillation

NYC Nom Nom — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:40:34 +0000

We arrived in the main center of Portland, Maine less than 20 minutes after we deplaned at the airport, which included renting a car (flying to Maine actually takes less time than my commute to Connecticut. Sad but true.) We parked on Commercial Street in the first spot we could find, and then turned around [...]

Chez Sardine

NYC Nom Nom — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:25:18 +0000

I’ve been reading about Chez Sardine for a bit, and it’s one of the “hot” restaurants that everyone keeps talking about. I heard it’s very hard to get a seat there, so when we stopped in one Sunday evening, I was shocked when they had 2 seats for us right at the bar. Shocked and [...]
