Nix – First Bite
Me, I don’t do meatless Mondays. In fact, I don’t do meatless any day. I’m a carnivore through and through. If it’s not meat, I crave poultry or fish… or eggs. If I don’t have one of the above, I feel like I haven’t really eaten. It’s still fascinating (at least to me!) to walk into a vegetarian eatery, like Nix, on a Friday night, and find every table and bar seat taken, with a noticeably fashionable crowd no less. But there’s nothing “granola” or hippy about Nix…

John DeLucie Breaks Free of The Crown Group With Bedford & Co.
It’s been quite the drama-frilled year for John DeLucie, one of New York’s first real (non-television) celeb chefs. After a steady series of shutters — including Crown, The Lion, The Windsor and Bill’s Food & Drink — it was finally revealed that he was in the middle of a legal battle, due to murky financial dealings involving his former partner…

Inside Turnstyle, Columbus Circle’s Subterranean Food Hall
Not that we need any more proof how radically times have changed, but we never could have conceived of the day that the subterranean, 59th Street-strip would become home to the city’s most happening new Food Court, dubbed Turnstyle…

A Spotlight on Smorgasburg’s Most Noteworthy New Vendors
While they offer an abbreviated roster of vendors during their indoor, winter iteration, Smorgasburg is at its best during spring and summer, when 120 artisans gather at the Williamsburg waterfront, or inside Prospect Park. And 25 culinary craftsman have joined the already formidable lineup this season…

Wallflower’s Foie Gras Bagel Will Make You Rethink The Schmear
A bagel and schmear is the consummate NYC breakfast, but what if you replaced the expected cream cheese with a river of whipped foie gras? Not something you could order at the corner deli, to be sure, although you will find it during brunch at the West Village charmer, Wallflower…

Inside dinnertable, NYC’s First “Reverse Speakeasy”
There’s nothing ostensibly clandestine about the goings-on at The Garret East. Make your way through the (well marked) doors, and you’ll find the music pumping, the crowds bumping and everyone drinking; in perfectly plain sight. But if — perhaps in a boozy search for the bathroom — you happen to stumble your way past an inconspicuous curtain, you’ll be confronted with a single, discreet buzzer on a wall, enigmatically demanding that you “Push For Food.”

Impero Caffe – First Bite
It’s crazy how things change in just a few years. I remember when the area north of Madison Square in New York, now famously referred to as NoMad, was a haven for nothing more than fake handbags. Now, it’s not only a hotel destination, but also a restaurant destination. But the newest entry to the NoMad’s food scene was a surprise to me. I was waiting around for Scott Conant to open his long-awaited, eponymous new eatery, Conant…

Thanks to Lilia, Brooklyn Is No Longer a No-Reservation Zone
Need proof that Lilia’s the hottest Brooklyn opening of the last few years — in Manhattan’s estimation, at least? Witness the capacious refurbished auto body shop, properly prettified with exposed beam ceilings, soaring casement windows, tableaus of wine bottles and stacked cords of wood for the grills — utterly packed by 6:30pm…

Paris Import Le Coq Rico is Flying High in Flatiron
Upon walking into the glittering Le Coq Rico in the Flatiron, your hostess will likely ask you if you’ve been there before. A seemingly odd question, considering the sleek French restaurant has barely been open two weeks, until you realize she’s referring to the original; a largely identical, poultry-focused spot in Paris. This is far from being your run of the mill brasserie…

Restaurant Spotting: Indian Accent
While Asian cuisines like Japanese, Korean, and Filipino have been hotbeds of innovation over the last few years, Indian fare has remained largely relegated to Murray (Curry) Hill. But in just the last year, it’s begun to muscle its way into the spotlight, including New Delhi import, Indian Accent…
