Event – Wong Friends & Family SEP6-7 – we’ll be there
UPDATE: A hodge podge of Asian influences is the first thing we noticed upon glancing the Friends & Family menu. While nothing is particularly a reach, the menu is safe, but in a good way. The lobster egg foo young reminded us of a sisig, minus the acid. The Cornelia drink was a great Signature Cocktail and epitomizes the arrival of Fall weather. PICS HERE
Event – Roberta’s PopUp @ BMW Guggenheim Cafe AUG3
Chef Carlo Mirarchi has been on a positive media streak these days, and with good reason. He’s received mention for best new chef and after trying his food, you will find out quickly why. How do we know? We’ve had his tasting menu. It’s pretty damn good, actually. Whether it be at Taste of the Nation or Omnivore Master Classes, he’s ubiquitious these days. We consider Carlo a MASTER of red meats, so you should definitely check this out! MORE INFO

Event – Dine Around Downtown @ CMP JUN14 (updated)
RECAP – Just got back from the Nomfest. There were almost 50 food vendors present on this brisk day.

Fizzy Lizzy, Kitchenette, and Ciao Bella were on hand for drinks and desserts. PICS HERE
Here’s what we ordered…
Sequoia – Cold Seafood Salad ($6)
Sequoia – 4 Jump Shrimp Cocktail ($5)
Mark Joseph’s Steakhouse – Bobby O. Mini Burger ($3)

The shark-infested waters of New York City’s restaurant industry are not for the faint of heart. In case you’re into keeping tabs, here is a list of those who took the leap and opened new establishments and those who were forced to bow out this month.
