Surviving the Snow with Totto Ramen and Heavy Layers
I think I can speak for everyone in the Tri-State area when I say I am 100% over this weather. From the blistering cold to snow every other day, this January is becoming something of unending misery. That said, the only good thing about this weather is that it makes a rich, warm bowl of …

Why the Village Voice’s Choice Eats is worth breaking my diet
First off, disclaimer: Anyone who reads my blog obviously knows I’m never actually on a “diet” of the conventional sort.

My new favorite sandwich: the Pastrami on Rye from Katz’s Deli (And yes, it’s SO worth the calories)
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit it took me about 6 years of living in New York before I finally tried the famous Pastrami on Rye from Katz’s Delicatessen, a place made even more famous thanks to a fake orgasm by Meg Ryan. It’s not that I never meant to. I’m pretty sure I had an …
