The upper 50’s/lower 60’s on the east side of Manhattan is a bit of a geographic no man’s land. Not quite Midtown, not quite the Upper East Side, this area has taken on some alter egos in the past few years (Turtle Bay, Tudor City, Sutton Place – ish), but it still gives off the feeling it doesn’t quite […]

Luke’s Lobster is a staple in New York City. Since it first opened in the East Village back in 2009, it has grown to have multiple locations, not only in New York, but across the country. The restaurant is known for serving up sustainable Maine-style seafood dishes, and we are big fans. Their Midtown East location hosted us to try […]

If you’re walking through Midtown East, it is highly possible that you’ll walk right past Sushi Roxx, and outrageous and all around fun restaurant of Real Housewives fame. Don’t let its docile exterior fool you; inside lies a raucous and completely wondrous take on an establishment serving Japanese cuisine. If you’re unfamiliar, all of the servers at Sushi Roxx are […]

This could just be one of my favorite new spots in town. Visiting Bill’s Townhouse is a wondrous delight…the recently reopened three story townhouse is like a museum, with old black and white photographs covering the walls, a library of leather bound books, and all the ambiance of a mid-1800’s speakeasy. If it weren’t for the delicious food, we’d spend […]

The hotels in New York’s Midtown East are not usually top of the list for the achingly hip, but they are a mainstay for people who really matter: the politicians and visiting dignitaries filtering in and out of the UN. It means the presidential suites in said hotels get used by, well, presidents. So when the Grand Hyatt New York opened […]

It’s not often that a restaurant in New York City lasts long enough to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Philippe New York is one of the few spots that has achieved this honor. The Beijing-style cuisine that put this spot on the map has attracted everyone from local New Yorkers to some of the hottest celebs, including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Ophrah […]

Back in the day, things were done a certain way. People got dressed up in their finest clothes and jewelry to go out to dinner, they took in shows at the theater regularly, and they expected a certain level of service and attentiveness when they spent a night on the town. Nowadays, it’s more rare to don your finest attire […]

I have never tasted Greek food before, aside from the pitas that street vendors sell, but EONS creates true and authentic Greek food. I was grateful and excited to get a chance to visit this amazing restaurant and I did not know what to expect. I have never had a stronger first impression of a restaurant until I entered Eon. From […]

New York offers an array of culinary delights, but some of the best restaurants serve delicacies that cannot be found anywhere else. One of the latest and trendiest steakhouses in Midtown East is 212 Steakhouse, which is the only location that received approval to serve true Kobe Beef in the East Coast. From the moment people walk through the doors, […]

David Burke is without a doubt one of my favorite chefs in the city. He has a handful of successful restaurants, all with incredibly delicious and creative food. Recently, David Burke at Bloomingdale’s (also known as Burke in the Box) was renovated and just re-opened last week to the pleasure of shoppers everywhere. The upgraded restaurant debuted a new layout […]
