New York City

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.

Atmosphere Corima sits on Allen Street, exactly…

Quique Crudo

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…

Point Seven

Some chefs just have a gift. We remember first getting a taste of Chef Franklin Becker’s cooking at Abe & Arthur in the Meatpacking district over two decades ago. Abe & Arthur was the coolest place in the Meatpacking at that time, so it didn’t need to have good food. But it did. Two decades later, does Chef Becker still have that gift? This is the review of Point Seven restaurant in NYC, one of Chef Becker’s latest ventures. Atmosphere…
