An oldie but goodie. A couple of years ago, I used to run Walking Food Tours for those unfamiliar with or new to the city. I wanted to share the wealth of knowledge that I had about food by showing people around the best places to eat in any given locale. There used to be a theme (i.e. Dumplings) and a location (i.e. Chinatown) for every Walking Tour. Now defunct, I stopped doing it due to flakers. It’s not so much about prepayment and taking people’s money first regardless if they show, but more about the principle of someone showing up and not flaking. There was a time when someone’s word was a firm handshake and meant something. Continue reading

I’ll find an excuse to celebrate anything. So when I was accepted to a graduate school AND received a significant scholarship, it was only my natural inclination to apply those savings in education to more important things, say,going out and eating. Which is why I found myself at Gramercy Tavern.
I even had something to eat the next morning!
UPDATED 3/29/2011: Westchester County has been experiencing a culinary renaissance lately. Although there are many restaurant concepts that would (sadly) fail in Westchester, I was excited when I received an invitation to dine at Espana in Larchmont: Chefs Manel Marques and Javier Castellarnau from Suquet de l’Almirall in Barcelona would be preparing an 8 course tasting dinner.
At $75 per person, this is a bargain! Let the eating commence...

The Omakase menu, Premium Sake Flight
Our reason for the visit was due to SeriousEats, naming this ‘the best $55 omakase we know’. We were already quite disappointed by their Banh Mi Zon rated #1, as we prefer Saigon and a few others over it. Thus, one must be careful when giving accolade, as deeming a place superlative means above all else. It was on our bookmarks for awhile now, so all the more reason to go. Besides, 4 stars on Yelp usually means a go for Jeff.
L: Lunch, R: Dinner
UPDATE: We finally made it to their last pit stop today, FiDi. The menu is the same at each location, but changes by meal. Gourmet food from a truck IS possible. Others should learn from the food here and follow suit. Don’t forget to tip the City Harvest jar! PICS HERE

Don’t forget about the final day of Free Food from Air France today in FiDi! Want to know the deals going on for the rest of the week?
