Manhattan is filled with little by the slice pizza joints. There are practically on every corner. And they are good. Prince Street Pizza is one of them that does not disappoint so if you are in the Nolita Neighborhood of Manhattan (which is cool) then check it out. I like a slice of thin crust […]

In Manhattan there is SoHo. Land of the pretty people. I swear, it’s like everyone is a fashion model. Great people watching. And if you want to do it up hip then go to the Mercer Kitchen. Now I wouldn’t say the food is going to knock your socks off but it is good enough […]

I love Manhattan and my favorite neighborhood is Nolita. Cool little area between the Lower East Side and SoHo. On Spring Street is Mother’s Ruin. It’s pretty much a dive bar. Loud music, decent drinks, open late, cool people. And pretty good food. The French Onion Soup and Grilled Cheese worked for me!
New York City
I love New York. So many great restaurants to check out. Recently I went to Hudson Clearwater in The Village. They serve New American Fare and Creative Cocktails. It is a small joint that is very quaint and filled with locals. They also have a great patio out back. The food was outstanding! Had the […]

If you want to have good thin crust pizza in a casual, hip atmosphere then hit up Olio Pizzeria. It is one of three joints from the Olio Group. They have a great wine selection as well and I like the vibe in there. Just don’t let them seat you upstairs and you are good.

Olio Crudo Bar is fun. It is the latest addition to the Olio group, offering crudo(raw) Italian seafood and meats, as well as cotto (cooked) bar menu items. Sashimi with an Italian accent! Love this place. It’s tiny and the food is delicious. I could have kept eating the Hamachi (pictured below) and they are making some […]

I love a good breakfast on the weekend and even more so when I am visiting my daughter and she just ran a half marathon. Luckily I had a tip to checkout Jeannine’s. Always a good sign when there is a line out the door and this place delivered. Everyone loved their food. My Eggs […]
Santa Barbara
I love Santa Barbara. Great weather. Great food. If you like Italian then hit up Olio e Limone. It’s authentic Sicilian fare & wine served in a white-tableclothed dining room. So it’s a little fancy but not over the top. The food is fantastic and so is the wine. Santa Barbara has wine country just north so […]

DeFalco’s Italian Eatery in Scottsdale, AZ is worth a visit. It’s a family-run deli/market selling Italian ingredients, hearty sandwiches & homemade pasta & sausage. I had the meat lasagna and it was really good. Great joint.
Phoenix, Scottsdale
Established in 2002 Barrio Cafe is a little neighborhood eatery providing authentic southern Mexico cuisine in an unpretentious atmosphere. It is located in the heart of Calle 16 – Mural Project. Super cool. I’m telling you the Cochinita Pibil is out of this world. Pork marinated in achiote and sour orange wrapped in a banana leaf and slow […]
