C.F. Folks – Washington, DC
Arriving in DC mid-morning for an early afternoon meeting, the top thing on my agenda was lunch. I checked one of my lists (100 Places to Eat Now – Southern Living, August, 2013) and found six places in the District. Three of those appear to be open for lunch and one is close to my […]
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 […]
Black and Orange – Washington, DC
In DC for a business meeting, I decided to blow off the cocktail party and go for a walk – to the Jefferson Memorial. In all of the years that I’ve been traveling to the Capitol, I have been fortunate enough to see most of the monuments except for those on the southern-most side of […]
Minetta Tavern – NYC
As we were finishing up the weekend in New York, we headed down to Greenwich Village for Sunday brunch at Minetta Tavern. For the majority of the weekend it had rained, so when we woke up and the sun was (almost) shining, we decided to walk the forty blocks to brunch. Now these were short […]
Adrienne’s Pizzabar – NYC
On a rainy Saturday morning, we headed down to the Financial District. One of my co-workers had sent me a link to a pizza place that a friend of his said was the best in the city. We didn’t really have any plans for the morning, so I googled them, found they didn’t have a […]
Trailer Park Lounge – NYC
After lunch at Adrienne’s Pizzabar, we took a taxi up to Chelsea Market at 16th street for some shopping and then walking around in the rain. As we headed back up town, towards Times Square, I began working up a burger appetite. I consulted the Hamburger America app and found that there were two choices […]
Burger Joint – NYC
I first heard about the Burger Joint in le Parker Meridian four or five years ago when I asked a business colleague where to find the best burger in NYC. I was shocked to hear that it was behind a giant velvet curtain, in the lobby of a fairly swank hotel, near Central Park. Then […]
Tune Inn Restaurant – Washington, DC
The third stop in our DC burger adventure was just behind the Capitol building, the Tune Inn Restaurant. In the same family since 1955, the thing that struck me most was the note on the menu that they hold the District of Columbia’s second oldest pouring license, dating back to 1947. This place is a […]
Ben’s Chili Bowl – Washington, DC
March was a great burger month. I headed up to DC on business for three nights and managed to squeeze in three burger joints. The first was Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street. We took a cab up from where we were staying, giving the cabbie the address. We drove around for quite a bit, […]
