This week we are in Philadelphia, and it feels good to be back reviewing restaurants after a dry spell in not so good hotel/work locations. The starvation of good eats has seemed to take its toll on morale at Casa Conley, but we’ve been pumping out some fantastic home cooked meals which you can find…
Pizza and donuts like never before – Raleigh, North Carolina.
This week my husband turned 30 years old in Raleigh, North Carolina. Stuck with what to do, and knowing that although the day would involve craft beer 100%, we also needed something along the lines of food; welcome, Poke Burri. I searched online for ramen joints, for pho joints, for Korean bbq joints, and just…
The Deklab food hall adventure continues into part 2 with baos, sushi hand rolls, and craft beer. You can’t miss this!
Day two rolled around quickly with my highly anticipated second visit to Deklab food hall in Brooklyn NY. I walked quickly in the cold air, thankful that the rain had departed earlier that day, and waited patiently as the escalator delivered me to my new found food paradise. What was on the menu today? I…
Deklab food hall; Brooklyn’s underground paradise – Part 1 of my 2 day feast.
Whilst walking the cold and windy streets of Brooklyn recently I popped into a shopping complex to catch a break; that’s when I stumbled upon a paradise that would leave me momentarily speechless. The escalators seemed to lull on by, as though slowly delivering you to your fate, and as the anticipation grew to see…
Chela – a Mexican joint worth writing home about – Brooklyn, NY.
Tonight my husband and I met with family, and friends for what would be our last meal out in Brooklyn for a while. With our workday over, and a table reservation on the horizon, we headed to Chela with big eyes and empty stomachs. From the outside Chela has a beautiful front with foliage and…
Black Forest Brooklyn, where the brats are big, and the pretzels bigger.
Tonight my husband, myself, and a couple of friends, found ourselves in Black Forest Brooklyn at 733 Fulton St; a German restaurant that we’d heard good things about. As I opened the door, stepping in out of the rain, I didn’t see any real giveaway signs of it being a German restaurant. I liked it….
Duck heaven at Oramen, NYC.
Today my husband and I jumped into an Uber and headed from Brooklyn, into the city, hoping to arrive at a ramen shop we’d found online. After almost 40 minutes my husband decided to check his phone and realized we where going the completely wrong way, and somehow the link on google maps that connects…
A star find at the Wolf and Deer in Brooklyn, NY.
Tonight was my first night in Brooklyn, and with my husband working I figured I’d check out a local place I’d found on Instagram; Wolf and Deer. On my ride over in the Uber I wondered if I’d made the right decision going out alone, and I’ll admit that I almost asked the driver to…
My search for the giant soupy dumpling in NYC – Drunken Dumpling
This evening my husband and I took a train from Newark NJ to NYC in order to find the giant soupy dumpling we had only ever heard stories about. Standing outside of Drunken Dumpling on 1st Avenue, I looked up at its wooden sign, seeing no giveaway of the secrets within its walls. Holding my…
Move over pastrami; try beef heart pastrami at the Armsby Abbey in Worcester, Massachusetts.
This week in Worcester we took a trip to a pub that my husband had been to frequently. The Armsby Abbey sits at 144 Main Street, which boasts of a great craft beer selection, and delicious food. With work finishing later my husband and I decided to meet there; hopefully arriving around the same time….
