About

I am a native New Yorker and lifelong foodie who now, in my spare time, is putting my love of great eats – and knowledge of excellent spots – on the web.  There’s too much good food in New York City to waste a meal on lousy fare.

I’ll attempt to be diligent about updating whenever possible – and appropriate.

This blog will have a particular focus on the best food on the Upper West Side and the best food in Greenwich Village and Midtown since that is where I live and work. Of course, it won’t be restricted to that, but… .
