Eat. Drink. Live.
A wonderful breakfast with my favorite pal! Babycino: Celebrating losing her first tooth! My delishy shakshuka:
I’ve already reported on Viaggio twice, so for this post, I’ll keep it simple. The food was very good. Again. One of the specials, charcuterie: Scallops. Delicious. Gnocchi. Fabulous. Short rib. Decadent. All good!
Mishmish is an adorable little Mediterranean cafe in Montclair — with excellent food, indeed. Shakshuaka was superb. A nice kick, but well balanced, not too spicy. Creamy cheese and perfectly cooked eggs. Shawarma (no pita for me): Juicy chicken, lovely spices, […]
A most excellent lunch of wings and (only a couple of) Disco fries at a delightful dive: Sharkey’s in Clifton.
What a great little spot right on the Hudson River. Hudson Farmer & The Fish serves superb seafood and creative cocktails in a modern setting with stunning views of the Hudson. It’s the perfect place to hole up for an […]
A long wait for a table — we did not have a reservation, and for a party of 6, tables are hard to come by during Sunday brunch — proved more than worth it. Our lunch at Boqueria was a […]
To send Kristin off in style — even though she’s not leaving the newsroom, just changing jobs within the company — Elyse and I took her out for lovely Thai lunch at Imocha in Woodland Park. Larb. Nice and spicy! […]
We lucked into a great spot for lunch before (or after) Storm King: Woody’s Farm to Table in Cornwall. The food is excellent, the room is comfortable, and it couldn’t be closer to Storm King. Hi Sam! You order at […]
A lovely evening tasting Dom Perignon and dining on delicious food. Thank you Marcello and Anthony! This was my favorite. And a lovely evening with Irene, too!
A day off, so to the city I go. I now dream of the roast chicken at Rotisserie Georgette. (Our first trip to the restaurant was in 2014.) My dining companion, Pete. The chicken: crispy skin, impossibly juicy meat and […]
Lunch at Viaggio — my second this year. Best dish was easily this bresaola: Sweet, funky, salty — sliced thin and drizzled with balsamic. The arugula a lovely accompaniment. Fried cauliflower: Delicious, but I wish it were crispier. Bolognese. Delicious. […]
Where to meet a friend from New York when you’re in New Jersey? Why, Harlem of course! Cheers!
I haven’t had Fink’s barbecue since he was manning the smokers down at Bailey’s in Blauvelt. But our after our trip to Secor Farm we were hankering for lunch, and what should we discover but his Suffern outpost! Here’s the […]
A fun date night with sips and snacks at the bar at 8NB. Manhattan: Martini: Delicious gravlax: And sizzling octopus: A nice pour of rose! Delicious and fun, as always.
I literally held my hand over my heart I was so pleased with the wine list at Jockey Hollow in Morristown. And then there were the oysters — so fresh, so clean, so succulent. (Almost all from New Jersey, too.) […]
With Sam having a sleepover at Sondra and Leigh’s, we took the opportunity to have a nice meal out! Roost for the win. Smoked fish platter, which has salmon, trout and smoked whitefish salad with all the accoutrements. Lovely. A […]
A nice supper with Boo at Markt, a Belgian brasserie known for its mussels and beer. Still, they serve a very nice martini. We had shrimp cocktail: = Wings: Mussels with cream and garlic. Delicious. OK, I had a couple […]
If you’re not following Steve’s Burgers on Instagram, you’re not living. The burgers he posts to the feed are so outrageously delicious looking that you won’t be able to help plotting a visit to his little burger shack on Route […]
Delicious Green Goddess salad with shrimp at the Barrow House in Clifton.
Out with my crew for lunch in Jersey at So Good, a new Korean barbecue restaurant that opened just a few days earlier. The restaurant is very cool and modern: Panchan: Cooking on the grill in the center of the […]
A lovely restaurant week lunch at Untitled. Unfortunately, not many photos. But trust me, the food was delicious, the setting was beautiful and the company was a pleasure. Fluke crudo with cucumber, husk cherries, jalapeno and green tomato salsa: Roasted […]
To New York, for a visit with Kelli and a delicious meal at Charlie Bird in SoHo. It starts with a martini. Cute place. Super loud, but the buzz was fun. Fried zucchini blossom. Crunchy and sweet. Delicious. Fluke. Isn’t […]
You know you’ve had a stressful day when all you photograph at dinner is your martini. A delightful evening, though, at Rick’s Club American with Sondra, Leigh and the little munchkin. Who obviously enjoyed her sundae.
The famous Kinchley’s! Around since 1937, it’s been serving some of the best thin-crust pizza in the region for 80 years. Cracker-thin, and just as shatteringly crispy. Even though I am on my low-carb regimen, I had to have a […]
The pizza at Se7te is pretty darn good. But what I got had much fewer carbs. It was quite tasty indeed. Mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula. . . . . . ———————————- #foodie #foodporn #foodgasm #nom #nomnom #food #yummy #hungryaf #westchester #rocklandcounty […]
An absolutely divine fancy lunch at Flora Bar, with delicious cocktails, fabulous food and wonderful company. My bloody mary: Sarah’s deletable gin cocktail. Sarah and Laurie. Crab legs. Red shrimp and uni under nori: Unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Just […]
Drinks before Sarah and Laurie head to the theater, at Bar Centrale on Restaurant Row. Perfectly civilized. Buffalo cauliflower. And, post-theater, a nightcap at the Rum House.
After River View East won our hot dot taste test, I had to pay a visit to the actual restaurant. Two dogs, one all the way. Delicious! The 411 on River View East.
A cocktail and a snack at Sophia in Englewood, after the Englewood Night Market. What a lovely place. I’ll be back. Grilled octopus with celery and olives:
A famous New Jersey diner, indeed. I had the salmon. Ed had the Buffalo chicken salad. Large portions.
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
