On Thursday, April 1st, Team Sunburnt Cow will be throwing a good ol’ Aussie BBQ to celebrate the birth of Bruce, aka The Sunburnt Calf (226 W. 79th St.).  The party gets going at 4pm and food and booze will be on the house til 10pm!  I’ll take this over Matsuri’s Penis Festival any day [...]

For the second year running, we attended Cochon 555, the swine-centric national competition tour featuring 5 chefs, 5 heritage pigs and 5 winemakers.  This year the friendly competition took place at Pier 60 on what was a beatuiful Spring day and featured an impressive roster of local chef talent, including Mark Ladner of Del Posto, Corwin Kave of [...]

My work friends and I used to grab lunch at a bi-level Italian place on E. 57th St b/t Park & Lexington called Cafe Fonduta.  They had quick take-out on the first floor and waiter service on the second floor with fast, decent Italian food at decent prices.  But they up and left all of [...]

Really hoping this is some sort of April Fool’s prank.  That picture below is pretty disturbing. Tweet this!

In honor of National Lobster Newburg Day on March 25, Delmonico’s (56 Beaver Street NYC, 212-509-1144) will serve up dishes of its well-known Lobster Newburg on Thursday for just $18.76.  Pretty darn good deal considering it’s $49 on the menu.  Delmonico’s introduced Lobster Newburg back in 1876 after Ben Wenberg, a wealthy sea captain and regular customer, told Charles [...]

We’ve stumbled upon another East Village gem.  Back in January, two childhood friends from Beirut, Roland Semaan (formerly of Atlantic Grill) and Youssef Said (exec chef), opened Lebanese restaurant Balade on 1st Ave. b/t 12th & 13th.  We met Roland at The Taste of Success event at City Winery last month, and after sampling the homemade [...]

About two weeks ago someone began mashing up the tweets of Ruth Reichl with the mind of Anthony Bourdain under the handle @RuthBourdain.  Something about it is strangely genius.  Here are a few of the more hilarious tweets:  “Fresh bong juice, the scent whirling in the air. Matzo brei, melting lardo (treif shmeif). Raspberries plump like Nigella’s boobs. Spring!”; [...]

The requests for recommendations have been pouring in from our readers.  We’ve been trying to respond to all the requests as promptly as possible, and so far the response has been terrific.  We’ve received requests for brunch spots above Midtown, birthday dinner spots below Union Square, places that have great scallop dishes and more.  You [...]

I awoke to the Today show reporting that the White House fountain had been dyed green, and as I walked to work, I passed hordes of revelers with shamrock sweatshirts and felt green hats.  It must be St. Patrick’s day…one of the best beer drinking (and drinking in general) holidays of the year!  Last year, [...]

Every Tuesday from 6-9pm, chef Marc Forgione has been setting up a suckling pig station in the bar area of his namesake restaurant and allowing guests to build as many sliders as they can eat for $16.  As part of this “Suckling Pig Happy Hour” guests have also enjoyed two-for-one beers to complement the grub.  We heard [...]

It’s March Madness time, baby!  The Wandering Foodie, the guy who ate at 93 NYC restaurants in one month and who went to 24 restaurants and bars in 24 hours, is at it again, and this time he has replicated the 64-team NCAA bracket-style tournament using NYC-area restaurants.  And it’s up to you to decide the restaurant champ of NYC.  [...]

Apparently, today is National Buzzard Day, one of the more bizarre national holidays we’ve come across.  And it isn’t going unnoticed at Spring Lounge (Spring St at Mulberry).  Starting at 5pm, they’re hosting a Buzzard Day American IPA event featuring 8 draughts (including Kelso of Brooklyn’s first ever IPA, Avery, Bear Republic), 8 bottles (including Ballast [...]

We already love Beacon (25 W. 56th St.) for its solid, underrated burger and its all-you-can-drink Sunday brunch.  Now, they’ve just launched an all-day happy hour at their bar.  You get your choice of 2 house cocktails, 2 pints of beer or 2 glasses of wine + a Wood Oven Pizza or a Burger for just [...]
