Corton

There is a time when I go to a new restaurant to discover the food and wine and I often leave the place feeling disappointed. Corton on the other hand, provided one of the best experience in a long time...I love Daniel - I always did and I will always do...however Corton stood to my high expectations and left me wanting it more...with every mouthful there is a new flavour to discover...or a great ...

Hasaki - hidden gem in East Village

Since 1985 Hasaki has been delivering the freshest fish and traditional Japanese plates for New Yorkers. The place feels like an escape from the scene and often loud and overcrowded streets in East Village. Hasaki is a small place located in the basement of the townhouse. I often think of it as a hidden gem from tourist and pretentious crowds,...

Don't miss this spot - Spotted Pig

It has been almost five years since my first dinning experience at Spotted Pig. I absolutely adore this place, and it is my usual lunch indulgence. This is also my sons most favourite place, he loves the fries and burger.

At lunch this place is full but not noisy. Lunch attracts the locals, the fashion, celebrity and press crowd, and the tourist who travel miles to experience Micheli...

10 Downing

There is a new addition to West Village dinning experience...the old STA Travel space went through metamorphosis to serve as a new restaurant space for 10 Downing. In London, it is the residential address of UK Prime Minister, and in Manhattan it is the real steet name in which 10 Downing opened its kitchen door just two weeks ago. The space has a very inviting feel, with large windows, high ce...

Austrian-New York Empire

One thing in life brings equal joy to exercising, is the experience of eating. Since I was a little girl, I have always sought to try new foods. However, communist Poland - my native country- offered a very limited choice of foreign cuisines. My father spent most of his time living and working in Budapest, and we used to visit him on regular basis. Budapest was my second home, and until today, ...

Thanksgiving dessert - Pumpkin Pie

This year, I am in charge of desserts for Thanksgiving. I love to cook, but when it comes to baking, I fail at each attempt. I went around the city to taste several traditional Thanksgiving cakes and pies. It was a delicious experience, and in the end I found the most delicious pumpkin pies.

Fall menu is about the richness in flavours

The fall menu welcomes New York restaurants...especially at Gramercy Tavern where the menu is full of squashes, mushrooms, hearty soups and pastas, and the smell of thyme, tarragon, sage and other wonderful herbs that make you salivate. It is one of my favourite times of the year for dining out. The food is rich, comfortable and full of ...
