Colicchio & Sons – New York , NY

As we were taking a break from wandering in the snow on Saturday, I began looking for a spot for dinner.  When I sorted the available options on OpenTable by “ratings”, I saw that Colicchio & Sons had a reservation available at 5:00.  As restauranteur / chef Tom Colicchio is the mastermind behind one of […]

PJ Clarke’s – New York, NY

When we made plans to go to New York City in mid- December, one of the first things I did was grab my dog-eared copy of Hamburger America and look to see where we were going to eat lunch.  I had narrowed my choices down to three: Corner Bistro, JG Melon and P.J. Clarke’s.  Once […]

Tavern on the Green – New York City, NY

If I recall correctly, this was actually the first day that it occurred to me to take a picture of food and where I was eating. For the years leading up to their sixteenth birthdays, I had told both of our girls that when each of them turned sixteen that I’d take them anywhere in […]
