Eat at Cubana Cafe Right…Now!

Sometimes it’s difficult to find restaurants that leaves carnivores and herbivores feeling equally satisfied. Sure, there are non-meat options at barbecue restaurants, but corn bread hardly counts as a full meal. And though I’m a vegetarian, I understand the need to eat lamb while getting Indian food. Next time you’re

Caked Up! A Custom Cake Art Show

Cupcakes, cake, and just pastries in general are certainly having their moment right now. There’s Ace of Cakes and Cake Wrecks, this country’s fetishization of foods knows no bounds. And why not?, everyone loves cake. What’s been elevated to practically an art form, you no longer have to get hitched

The Volstead: Cheap and Classy in Midtown

We all get stuck in midtown. I mean just look at its name… it’s a naturally convenient place to meet up sometimes no matter how much you don’t want to pay $12 for a cocktail or go within 15 minutes of Times Square. Fortunately, The Volstead offers up nice digs

Fry Anything at Chip Shop

Today is Guy Fawkes Day, the English holiday to celebrate Guy’s failed plot to blow up parliament. People celebrate by chanting “Remember, remember the fifth of November” and burning effigies of Guy. Admittedly, I didn’t know about the holiday until high school when it was featured in an episode of

Taste Dosa-Inspired Dishes and then Make Them at Home

It almost sickens me how obsessed I am with food.  I almost want to make my friends submit me as a subject for “Intervention,” but I feel like that would be a little selfish.  Anyway, one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco, which I save for special occasions, is
