It was a 3-pasta dinner kinda date night at @misinewyork 🍝 I definitely think their handmade sheep’s milk ricotta filled occhi with brown butter, bottarga and lemon zest was the standout 🍋🍋🍋 Personally, I favor the pasta dishes at the chef’s @lilianewyork location overall. But I love the sophisticated look of the new space, and will come back to try more veggie forward dishes at the bar! #foodcurated #pasta #nyceats #newforkcity #eaterny #italianfood #nyc #ravioli #nycdining #food #onthetable #happynewyear (at Misi)

It was so so so nice to visit my favorite NYC bread baker @maxbeegee at his new permanent location at the @thestandardcafe @narcissa in The East Village/NoHo area! i am so proud of him. He just started selling his heritage grain sourdoughs, Japanese milk bread, baguettes and porridge loaves again to the public. His brand new ovens at Cafe Standard are allowing him to output more bread which is such exciting news for specialty bread lovers! I absolutely love the new recipes he’s debuted. I swear he makes the best bread in New York City, hands down. 🥖🥖🥖

Please go visit The Standard Cafe and bring something home for the holidays. Pro tip📍: pay for a side of their homemade cultured butter. The more it ferments, the better it gets. And it’s the only thing you need with Max’s bread 😍😍😍 #foodcurated #bread #sourdough #nyceats #bestfoodworld #bakery #bakersofinstagram #eeeeeats #yelpeatsnyc #onthetable #newforkcity (at Cafe Standard)

*Moral Standing is Lying Down* 🍹brûléed banana infused bourbon, rum, salted maple, tiki bitters. A jewel of a cocktail for anyone who likes ‘em boozy n sweet! It tasted like the liquid form of bananas foster at the new ➡️ @citroenbrooklyn.

We randomly happened upon this AH-MAZING French-American neighborhood bistro featuring “all the hits”. We were particularly blown away by the grilled octopus over crispy quinoa and juicy steak frites w/a buttery green peppercorn sauce. Not to mention the house-whipped caramelized onion butter that came with the bread basked(that I asked to pretty please let me take home). Just wow. This place is going to do very very well 😍 Ask for the owner Craig, and he’ll leave you full of stories about NYC music, his love for design and his restaurant’s very cool connection to @realgdt’s #crimsonpeak 🏰

I really enjoy hanging out at the @heatonist hot sauce shop in Brooklyn. It’s like being in a curated Willy Wonka room for chilies and spice. Their holiday lineup of sauces span all heat and taste levels. Great for gifts! And their staff loves making suggestions!

Morgenstern’s 88 Flavors location is only fun if you go back for seconds because you’re experiencing FOMO from the 85 other flavors you didn’t get! However, if you strategically bring friends who like to share, even better 😉😘 🍨 #sixscoops #bdayweek #foodcurated #betterthancake

I loved my macadamia praline, pistachio black currant jelly and the strawberry sour cream brown sugar flavor! 🍦🍦🍦@morgensternsnyc (at Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream)

We took over the entire back area of this decked out holiday @reindeerlounge in Greenpoint for bday festivities. I think everyone needs to have their holiday meetups here! Like my friend @tuckerrule said, “it feels like we got locked inside a Macy’s store on Christmas!” ✨🌲✨🎁 Lol. Nice cocktails and lots of casual diner-style food. What a great time! Big hugs to everyone who came by. I love you all 😍😊😘😘😘#happyholidays #bday #nycevents #greenpoint (at Greenpoint, Brooklyn)

Skirt steak shishito skewers at the well designed and concepted @nonono_nyc in Midtown for casual but chic yakitori and izakaya cuisine. We ordered plenty of small plates for the table while everybody ordered their own skewer sets. A lovely way to start bday 🎈festivities with family! Definitely go here! 🍢🍢🍢🍢

I called it Cheetos pasta ⚡️but this is actually a creamy rigatoni with #guanciale vodka sauce from the 8-month old @carmentasnyc. In the back is the wild mushroom elbow pasta with creme fraiche, which was excellent too. They have a small, tightly curated, affordable menu with super homey, fresh handmade pastas and Italian sandwiches. Plus, various daily specials! It really feels like home cooking overall. Their corner storefront in Bushwick is charming with big wall to wall windows. Really nice staff. I think most of the new fast casual pasta joints popping up in NYC won’t live up to this thoughtful neighborhood spot. Honestly, I think it’s the quality of the pasta. Next time I’m getting the owner recommended #malfalde with tomato ragu 🍝🥫🍅 he says it’s the best on the menu!
