So with no indoor dining still in sight I met a friend uptown at Amaranth which is located just off Madison Avenue on 62nd Street between Madison and Fifth. Amaranth serves a menu of Mediterranean cuisine, a fusion of original Italian food and French food with a large portion of specialty items imported from Italy…

Vaucluse is a stylish French Brasserie which lets you journey into French cuisine in a very impeccable and elegant environment. It’s located at 100 East 63rd Street off Park. I had the good fortune to meet some folks there for lunch and it was really extra special especially since it was prixe-fixed at $28.00 for…

I found myself at The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges which is located in The Mark Hotel at 25 East 77th Street. Living downtown, I hadn’t been uptown in a while so it was nice to have this Madison Avenue restaurant experience with some fun friends. Here’s the outside of the restaurant. Here’s the inside…  …

Friday evening I met a few friends and we decided to have dinner at Jules Bistro which is located at 65 St. Mark’s Place.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve passed that restaurant and wanted to go and I finally got to go and it was fantabulous. Jules Bistro is a taste of…

Sunday for Brunch, I met a few friends at Cesca Retaurant which is located at 164 West 75th Street.   When I walked in I felt this tremendous sense of “space” and also that I was really in Rome or Sicily at an authentic Italian Restaurant.     And so what did I decide to…

So the other weekend, I visited my friends in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey and I thought it was an absolute paradise.  On Saturday evening it was my girlfriend’s fiance’s birthday and we drove about 35 minutes to Atlantic City to celebrate! We got to the Borgata Hotel, Spa and Casino which is the largest…

So the other evening a friend of mine took me as a Thank You for something I had helped her out with to The Gramercy Tavern which is located at 42 E. 20th Street off Park Avenue South. I had passed the restaurant many times but had never eaten there so I was really looking…

Being a published author of Eat What You Want! Stop When You Want! A No-Diet, Weight-Loss Program I knew that I had to check out Chumley’s down at 84 Beford Street which is near The Cherrylane Theatre on Commerce Street.  I had heard that in the 20’s it was a speakeasy and a lot of famous…

So I found myself at Kyma Restaurant which is located at 15 West 18th Street right off 5ith Avenue.  From the minute that I walked into Kyma I felt that I was in Greece which I’d been to twice.  Inside the modern ambiance of this restaurant are the images of the traditional Greek Taverna with…
