Who Ate the Big Apple?: Dumbo General Store (with Guest Reviewer Davis)
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2010/08/dumbo-general-store-with-guest-reviewer.html
August 16, 2010. Dumbo General Store (with Guest Reviewer Davis). I've been working in Dumbo for the past 2 years, and yet in all that time I think I've only headed out for an actual honest-to-god lunch break a just handful of times. The Dumbo General Stor. E is a place I always mean to check out more often and rarely do, so I couldn't wait to give it a shot when Jen asked if I wanted to grab a bite for lunch last week. The downside is no more brunch, which means no more of Superfine. As for the atmosphe...

Who Ate the Big Apple?: Totale Pizza
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2010/08/totale-pizza.html
August 5, 2010. Prompted by a recent review by the wonderful Serious Eats. Laurel, our friend Chris (from The Skint. If you don't know what that is, you should), and I decided to give Totale a try. We looked up the address but unfortunately seemed to have walked right past it first try that night. It's a small, open area spilling out to the street and looks just like every other pizza joint on St. Marks (only quite a bit cleaner and brighter), so we didn't notice it at first. Our waiter was cheery and fr...

Who Ate the Big Apple?: August 2009
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
August 20, 2009. Autour du Monde (with Guest Reviewer Davis). Always on the lookout for a great brunch place close to our apartment, Amanda and I popped by Autour du Monde. One weekend. It was a bit late for brunch, so we wound up being alone in the place with the owner (whose name is sadly escaping me). We chatted him up while enjoying our meal, and left very satisfied. When Jen suggested we grab something go eat for lunch a few Sundays ago, Autour du Monde. The waitress was very nice and attentive....

Who Ate the Big Apple?: Iris Cafe
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2010/07/iris-cafe.html
July 4, 2010. Is one of those places that I wish I had opened myself. The idea, menu and set-up are simple, but well placed and well done enough to make it a success. And if you visit during lunch or brunch hours, you'll see what I mean by success. Just look at that biscuit. Looks absolutely delicious, right? Trust me, it tastes as good as it looks - which definitely isn't always true. I love Iris Cafe. It gives me everything I miss from the South, and it does it well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Who Ate the Big Apple?: September 2009
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
September 28, 2009. Is a classy joint, so I made a classy pose. Shut up, I'm working on it. But seriously, first off, it's well decorated. The navy exterior, the interior painted the color of buttermilk, the wooden bar and brick wall. Lovely and relaxing. The service is attentive and generally friendly, and the owner is very nice (he chatted with us for some time after he saw my aunt measuring the bar with an actual measuring tape, and then gave her some tips on sconces.yep). To be honest, I might. The m...

Who Ate the Big Apple?: Smoke Joint
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2008/04/smoke-joint.html
April 28, 2008. After a day of unusually good weather and wandering around the park, we decided we must have some barbecue. Odd craving considering where we currently reside, but we found a way. Smoke Joint. This place is completely and totally 150% everything I miss about the South. The food is extraordinary - yummy sweet cornbread, pork sandwiches with mayonnaise slaw (and no one judging you for it for putting it on top of your sandwich except for one of your fellow dining companions.), perfect...87 S ...

Who Ate the Big Apple?: June 2010
http://whoatethebigapple.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
June 22, 2010. Photos by Davis Cox. Now – the service. I absolutely love all of the wait staff in the back, they’re always helpful and nice. But as a warning, if you want to sit down, get there early. If you want to drink only…get there early. They are always quite busy. BTW, you might remember my writing partner mentioning No. 7. If you didn't know No. 7. Jennifer covered it pretty well (it can get crowded), so I'll leave it at that. Try it out! And take us with you! Full Bar, Wonderful cocktails. It's ...
