neighborhood sushi spot

Maguro is my go to local sushi spot.  On 28th street, tucked between Lexington and 3rd Avenue, is where you will find this gem.  The restaurant is on the small size with about 10 tables and a sushi bar.  The restaurant was filled with couples and friends catching up.  The menu is well priced, I ordered the chicken teriyaki and my friend got the salmon teriyaki.  Overall it was a solid meal.  Perfect if you live close by or find yourself in the neighborhood.

The Sparrow Inn on 29th St. in Astoria, is a really cool bistro/gastropub. The menu is American, with some Greek/Mediterranean influences. Last night I had the lamb chops with tzatziki sauce appetizer, and split a grilled cheese with my girlfriend. Both were outstanding. The restaurant itself is cozy, with about 30 or so seats and a decent sized bar. The Sparrow Inn has been featured on one or two food shows, so it’s usually packed. They don’t take reservations, so you might have to grab a drink at the bar while you wait, or you could go right across the street to the Bohemian Beer Garden and work up an appetite there. Definitely a local gem.

Cosi

It had been a while since I’d been to a Cosi but I met someone there for lunch last week.  I was shocked by how much seating room there was at the Park and 31st.  As we walked towards the sandwich/ salad order area, I was reminded of one of my favorite reasons for going to Cosi, the bread bowl!  Their bread is awesome and I like that it holds me over till I get my sandwich.  I suffer from hanger (hungry/ angry).  I got my standard TBM (tomato basil and mozzarella) sandwich with the best balsamic vinegar.  If you are in need of a quick meal on the healthier side, Cosi is worth checking out.

Vegan Friendly

Although I am not a vegan, I love going to peacefood cafe on the Upper West Side.  Drink wise you will not find your standard diet coke soft drinks but rather delicious fresh fruit and veggie drinks and smoothies.  

In terms of ordering, you MUST try the chickpea fries!  So good with the house dipping sauce and a little bit of sriracha for an extra spicy kick.  These also happen to be delicious with maple syrup, random I know but delicious.  

We also ordered the shanghai style dumplings which were tasty as well as the mushroom duxelle pizza.

Last week I had dinner at Tournesol, a lovely French bistro in Long Island city. Located just over the 59th St. Bridge in Queens, this warm and cozy restaurant is definitely worth a subway ride into queens (the 7 train stops 2 blocks away). With a friendly, and peaceful ambiance, this place is perfect for a date night. The food is delicious, with a menu packed with French classics. I had the beef  bourguignon, which was outstanding. The beef was melt in your mouth tender, and the noodle soaked up all that delicious sauce; perfect comfort food for a chilly October night. My girlfriend has the Nicoise salad, and although I’m not crazy about Tuna, I tried some of hers and it was actually quite nice. Defintely worth checking out.

favorite brunch eats

On this cooler fall Sunday morning, we visited Jane, a restaurant on the border of Greenwich Village and SoHo. While we didn’t exactly want to schlep downtown just for food, we couldn’t be happier that we did...the brunch was phenomenal.  On our menu: Vanilla Bean French Toast, Granola and Yogurt Parfait, and the famous Classic Eggs Benedict. Here’s a taste of what we experienced

Bourbon Street---Bayside, Queens If you're searching for the best Cajun inspired food in Queens, look no further than Bourbon Street in Bayside. They have a delicious and expansive menu with all the traditional Louisiana favorites like Jambalaya and Gumbo. The Manu also features Cajun-inspired twists on American classics: like their spicy Panko Chicken fingers and the blackened cheeseburger. Tonight I went for the shrimp and grits, while my friend ordered the Cajun skirt steak. Both were delicious. Bourbon Street also has a spacious bar that is always packed, and recently opened a rooftop lounge that is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite. The rooftop lounge also features a gelato and dessert bar, in case you want to skip the main course and cut right to dessert. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is casual. Whether you're in the mood for some Cajun food, or just want to pop in for a few drinks, Bourbon Street is definitely worth checking out. #BourbonStreet #Bayside #BellBlvd #Queens #NYC #GoodEatsNYC #CajunFood #Cajun

Toast | 2737 Broadway (Broadway between 104th and 105th streets)

They call it Toast downtown, but it’s barely. A restaurant that boasts great sandwiches and burgers for less-than-$10 (and yes, it’s sit-down), its sister location is just 20 streets up. I went that location last summer with two friends from college and two alumni in the city. I remember it being a misplaced dinner at best. I just didn’t feel at ease for whatever reason.

Toast is slowly redeeming itself from that standard as I often suggest the “downtown” location to friends looking for a good, cheap eat by my apartment. But at the start, it was the scene of many tense conversations — I had two particularly dramatic dinners there with my friend from Brooklyn. We’d sit at the dimly lit table and somehow between the heated words, I’d break out laughing. “This is ridiculous, isn’t it?”

Oh, it was. But there was nothing ridiculous about the quality of food and prices. Munching on a $8.95 mozzarella, basil, tomato and red pepper sandwich, I couldn’t believe how good, filling and lovely the meal was. I took friends after a Memorial Day picnic; I went two nights ago with a high school friend visiting. The meals have gotten lighter emotionally, but the quality has remained consistently high throughout. Cheers to redemption and the positive power of time and change. Drama may come and go, but good food stays … I hope at least!

in a mood for sweets

There’s no better pick-me-up on a slow, rainy day than lemon rosemary cookies and pecan pie from Grey Dog in SoHo.  Grey Dog is our favorite coffeehouse and spot for lunch eats in the neighborhood.  (The cheese fries aren’t bad, either.)
