Brooklyn’s pizza shop Lucali ranks at the top of the best pizzerias in America on just about every list each year.
The shop is pretty small and you can’t just stop by for a slice. Expect hours long waits to get one of their pies and delicious calzones (which I think are even better). Continue reading New Brooklyn Pizza Shop From Lucali’s Mark Iacono Opening Next Week
A couple of years back, we stumbled across a tourist attraction in NYC.
While on the way to our lunch destination The Little Owl, we noticed lots of people posing and taking photos of the building. After we ate, a quick Google search let us know that the restaurant is housed in what’s know as the Friends building. Continue reading Did You Know? There’s A Friends Wall In New York City
Last week, Eater NY wrote an article about how “The Humble NY Slice Is Helping NYC Restaurants Stay Afloat“.
We’ve tried a few of the pizzas mentioned in the article, enjoying tasty pies from Washington Squares, Black Seed Pizza and Michelin-starrted Momofuku Ko. (We’ve been the latter twice, one time doing takeout, the other time dining in, well sitting outside.)
Starting on April 20, “Stretch Pizza will take up residency inside Breads Bakery,” and it’s being led by a Michelin-starred chef! Continue reading NYC’s Breads Bakery To Offer Pizza From Star Chef Wylie Dufresne!

Earlier in the month I heard about a free art exhibition at The Hole in New York City with a really fun name.
The exhibition from Misaki Kawai, called Moko Moko Doki Doki didn’t only have a fun name, the art itself looked really bizarre, unique and interesting! I also felt that it would appeal to not only Kim and I, but also to our kids, 9 year-old Lucas and 4 year-old Theo.
I had planned to visit the exhibition before going for dinner at a place close by but I totally forgot about it. However, as luck would have it, we happened to walk past The Hole on the way to Momofuku Ko. I guess luck was on our side… Continue reading Visiting NYC’s The Hole To See Misaki Kawai’s Moko Moko Doki Doki
Restaurants in New York City have been struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For too long, restaurants have only been offering takeout or outdoor dining. With the winter being very cold, this is a big problem as many people aren’t interested in the adventure of sitting outside to have a meal.
