I had one day off between the old job and the next, so I planned a sandwich tour to make up for all those missed New York City lunches while I was in Connecticut. Three sandwich shops were recommended to me by my friend Josh; I needed his help because I’ve been out of the…

240 Central Park South on 59th Street 212/582.5100 $256 for two people, with drinks, without tip wheelchair patron may dine on street level ♥ ♥ ♥ I’m still thinking of those firm, yet pillowy, cicatelli. After Convivio and Mailiano, I think I’m convinced that when it comes to putting my money down for a great…

45 Tudor City Place off East 43rd Street 212/599.5045 $170 for two people, with drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ While in Colombia, we had a few unfortunate meals that involved pasta. Sure, Italy shares a lot of history with South America–the mass emigration of Italians was between 1876 to 1976 and brought a lot…

32 West 32nd Street, 3rd floor, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues 212/967.5088 $10 for a large bowl of soup ♥ ♥ The key is the “home-made” part in the restaurant’s name. Don’t let the office space turn you off. I know it looks like a fire hazard in there but an hour of your life…

The Hindu Temple Society of North America 45-57 Bowne Street, Flushing, Queens 718/460.8493 $8 to $10 per dish ♥ ♥ ♥ I’ll second Anthony Bourdain for this review: vegetarian food doesn’t have to suck. When Scott was visiting from Dubai, I thought of the Ganesh Hindu Temple canteen as our lunch spot because of his…

2394 Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard on 140th Street 212/281.1477 $10 for one, without drinks, with tip ♥ It was counter-productive to bike eight miles in Central Park and only end up eating the calories I lost, but I was famished and Harlem Wing & Waffle called my name. I have no idea who thought of…

85 Broadway between Wythe and Berry Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 718/486.3077 about $140 for three people, with cocktails, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ We waited for our Marlow & Sons seats at the Diner’s bar next door. After comparing the menu between the two sister restaurants, we knew we had to go back to the…

81 Broadway between Wythe and Berry Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 718/384.1441 about $96 for two people, without drinks, with tip ♥ No paying customer should have to wait an hour and a half to be seated at any restaurant. No one deserves to wait an extra forty-five minutes to eat after that. Alas, we suffered…

19 Kenmare Street off Bowery 212/966.1810 about $85 for two, with two glasses of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ Is it always like this? I had to ask the restaurant manager. He gave me a smirk; he knew exactly what I meant. No, this is the weekend. It’s usually more quiet on a weeknight. I…

250 West 41st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues 212/764.7663 if we paid, about $125 for two, with two glasses of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ I was invited by Montenapo to a tasting last week. I jumped at the chance because I think the restaurant scene in the midtown west area could use some…

288 Smith Street between Sackett and Union in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn 718/596.3335 about $125 for two, without drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ We were in Brooklyn to visit friends who were house and dog sitting while on vacation from San Francisco.
