In addition to some impressive food shops and a kitchen store, Limelight has at its very apex a Cacoa Bar from Marie Belle. A menu of light and delicious fare and [...]

  Carnegie Club

  05.03.10 | Permalink | 4 Comments | By Jonathan

  Arriving after midnight in NYC, the famous burger joint in my hotel was closed. But only steps away I found the largest club sandwich I have ever seen. A real-deal deli since 1937, the Carnegie has salami hanging from the ceiling, walls plastered with aging celebrity photos, and is quick to serve up deliciously garlic [...]

  Le Printemps du Guide Michelin, Pass Privilège

  04.17.10 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  I have been accused of being coupon phobic, but the idea of pulling out a piece of paper at a restaurant and asking for a discount is really quite beyond me. So I almost gagged when I read that the French Michelin Guide is now offering discounts, which can be redeemed at high-end, and even [...]

  Is it me or does the new restaurant at the NYC Guggenheim look like it could be ten forward on the Star Trek Enterprise? Either way, I can’t wait to visit. Check it out at the New York Times.

  Perhaps my last foodandtell from Mexico this Christmas,  a Nopal salad. Nopal is a cactus that is native to Mexico and has lots of health benefits and can be a bit slimy like okra.

  homemade tamales

  01.19.10 | Permalink | Comment? | By Jonathan

  An absolute highlight of my Mexican overeating were these homemade tamales, a corn dish that dates back to Aztec traditions. We had green and red tamales, and I preferred the green (pictured).
