Demo NYC

Demo restaurant in NYC is proof that the cuisine-forward scene of Brooklyn is migrating back to Manhattan. Set in the West Village, Demo looks like a simple wine bar and shares a kitchen with a bagel shop. However, in reality it’s a budding foodie haven with so much potential. This is the review of a spot to add to your date night, low-key catch ups with friends, or when you just want a good bite to eat. Atmosphere Demo restaurant…

This is the Tucci NYC review. Atmosphere You know they’re putting full effort into Tucci NYC as soon as you walk up to the building. The entire front of the…

Amangiri

I know that I’ve been to over 140 countries, but I am the least well-traveled person in the United States. If I’m traveling domestically, it’s for a good reason. But when I do travel for vacation within the U.S., then there absolutely has to be a compelling hotel. In this case, that hotel is Amangiri. However, hotels like this that are so hyped, are bound to fall short of expectations. It’s certainly a showstopper, which is why you know a…

Kin Gin

For a second there it seemed like all the cool foodie restaurants were opening up in Brooklyn. We almost had to cross a bridge to eat culturally relevant cuisine, but then the Lower East Side stepped up. We would say that the food scene, and the scene in general, is better than ever in this part of the city. And now there’s a new Japanese Izakaya restaurant at the Hotel on Rivington. This is the review. Overview Kin Gin is…

Corima

I am a big fan of Mexican food, but the restaurants in NYC that, in my opinion, do it justice are few and far between. I’m sure that my view of Cosme as just okay is an unpopular one too. So, when I heard that a chef from the famed Mexico City Contra was opening up a restaurant in the too-cool-for-school Dimes Square area, I was hopeful. This is the review of Corima. Atmosphere Corima sits on Allen Street, exactly…

I didn’t know this fun fact, but the first Mexican restaurant in NYC to get a Michelin star wasn’t Cosme. It wasn’t even in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Instead, Casa Enrique in Long Island City earned that Michelin distinction. They’ve made their way to the Village this 2024, with the recent opening of Quique Crudo. This is the review. Atmosphere The storefront of Quique Crudo is maybe the best use of a 20 by 15-foot room in New York City by…
