I can't help but fondly remember those little DRAKE'S COFFEE CAKES. Not so much for what they tasted like but for what they represented. The individually wrapped cakes often made their way into my elementary school lunch box and, even if dry and a bit...
There's no denying that CITY BAKERY has great bakes and, of course, who couldn't like their signature hot chocolate and house-made marshmallows? I know I am a fan. There's also their salad bar offerings - in a pinch the greenmarket-mindedness makes for a good enough lunch. ...

[caption id="attachment_1920" align="alignright" width="150"] Jefffrey's Breakfast Toast[/caption] It"s hard to imagine as a main course but head to a handful of restos serving up a weekday breakfast and toast now gets title...
To the cupcake craze add the meatball. Yes, there have always been meatballs - lots of varieties from lots of cultures - but here in New York the first that comes to mind are those sauced inside a hero or laid out upon a mound of...

An Italian dessert loved by many: tiramisu. While questions surround where the recipe originated, it has a relatively brief history in the world of the culinary arts: the earliest source of attribution dates back to a not too distant circa 1969.

There's not much to the start of Valencia Street. Lots of down-and-out folks in the Mission - a mix of homeless people, ne'er-do-wells and addicts - who straggle around though, largely to no ill-effect like you might encounter in some of the more unsavory parts of...
Lots of good restaurants in the shadows of the San Francisco Opera House and Davies Symphony Hall in the small enclave that is Hayes Valley. Turn off the main street to the park-like stretch that is Patricia's Green and it's time for coffee and desert...

Your visiting the arts acropolis that is Lincoln Center. Lots to see and do between theater, music, dance and film as well as a fountain-side sit down on its broad plaza. But, what about when it's time to eat? Once was, you'd see a show...
Flower shaped foods. To name a few: generic molds (puddings, jellos and your occasional liver mouse) that adorn many a budget buffet; a vegetable garnish that rarely looks like a flower but rather some oddly chopped radish or mutilated carrot; and, the "fruit...
There's a handful of simple rules when dealing with fish. The most basic - if it smells bad, it ain't good. It may be common sense but from the malodorous smells wafting from a neighboring apartment of our Greenwich Village apartment house it's clear that...
