As I was walking to pick up dinner tonight I noticed a particularly blinged out black SUV (think it was a Suburban) but did not think much of it until I went inside and saw Russell Simmons slurping some soup and chatting via bluetooth on his Blackberry 7100t. He seemed to be traveling with [...]

We just had a great lunch at Otto. The food and service were excellent and it was one of the most kid-friendly places we’ve ever been. There were many kids there and in a only in New York way there were at least 4 Bugaboo strollers (including ours) parked inside. There are [...]

Just working in the Starbucks Office today and tried a sample of Chantico or Drinking Chocolate. It’s awesome hot chocolate! Thick, rich and delicious. Nothing like it to wash down the Doppio (double espresso) I just enjoyed… buzz buzz!

At the moment you can get Hot Dogs, Soda and Beer, Fries and Ice Cream. The full menu [...]

from the menu:
New York Burger Co. is keeping it REAL: Starting with Coleman all-natural beef, we’re trailblazing and doing things the old-fashioned was. No artificial anything! We sizzle our burgers over a charcoal grill and serve them on [...]

This is a pretty amazing development coming from Peru and apparently it’s not the only beverage product looking to take advantage of the coca leaf…
A Peruvian company is producing a soft drink with coca, the much-maligned green leaf used to make cocaine.

Dave Chappelle did a parody of Red Bull called Red Balls, which [...]

We’ve been watching the constuction in Madison Park wondering just what might be coming and now we know… Sounds like a regular lunch stop to me!
Danny Meyer’s Shake Shack, the Madison Square Park kiosk, will make its unofficial debut next weekend during the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, and officially July 1. The shack will [...]

I have eaten hamburgers every day for the last two months. I have traveled the five boroughs of New York City to do so. And in the city’s lowliest corner diners and loftiest expense account restaurants, I have found satisfaction. New York, my research has documented again and again, is a hamburger heaven.
