Our first generation Boozy Brunch guide has been a huge hit (600,000+ hits in 10 months) and you also seem to dig our Boozy Brunch Map. There’s no doubt that New Yorkers love them some drunk brunch, or ‘drunch’ as I’ve heard being thrown around lately. It was a long time comin’ but we’ve finally got around to updating our all-you-can-drink [...]

Did you know that Upper East Side Alsatian bistro Café D’Alsace (1695 2nd Ave. at 88th St.) has a serious, and I mean serious, beer program? Jill and I headed over last Friday to meet resident beer sommelier Gianni Cavicchi (follow him and his partner-in-beer crime Damon on Twitter @BeerSomm) and to check out the launch of their new Firkin [...]

Mardi Gras is right around the corner and a couple of local spots are throwing fantastic sounding beer pairing dinners to celebrate the occasion.  On Thursday, March 3rd, Manchester Pub (920 2nd Ave nr 49th St.) is hosting a 5-Course Abita Beer Tasting Dinner. People may not be aware that this beer and English football focused bar in Midtown East [...]

We’ve been hearing some good things circulating about the relatively under-the-radar Cadaqués Tapas Bar (188 Grand Street, Williamsburg, 718-218-7776).  Today we learn that they are launching Paella Night tonight featuring a signature Cadaqués Paella served with a glass of wine for $19.95.

We are amidst a craft beer explosion and boozy brunches are popping up left and right, so naturally these two worlds had to collide at some point, right? In the past two weeks alone, we’ve noticed a couple of boozy craft beer brunches hit the scene that you should know about. East Village beer bar [...]

I remember the first time I walked through the doors of Zarela (953 2nd Ave. b/t 50th & 51st) to see the packed bar of tipsy patrons holding sizeable (and ridiculously potent) margaritas and chatting loudly. It was shortly after I graduated from college. All my closest college friends still lived in the city and my friend [...]

Wined & Dined is an ardent supporter of several local charity organizations. One of our best friends has recently become involved on the Junior Board of The Valerie Fund, which was established in honor of nine-year-old Valerie Goldstein by her parents to provide support for the comprehensive health care of children with cancer and blood disorders.  [...]

When Andy’s parents are in town from Atlanta, we like to take them out and show them all of what NYC’s dining scene has to offer (like the time we did 24 Bites in 24 Hours). This trip was no exception… from the whole fried snapper at Lotus of Siam and dim sum at Golden Unicorn to [...]

Ever since a colleague of mine from Montreal started at my law firm, he has touted the “Montreal bagel” as being superior to the New York bagel.  In fact, when his mother FedEx’ed him a dozen or so bagels from home, he exclaimed: Finally! I can have a decent bagel now.  (What?! Really?!)  I, a [...]

We’re throwing a Super Bowl Party at our apartment on Sunday. If you’ve waited until the last minute to figure out what food you’ll be serving at your own party, not to worry, there are still lots of great (and unique) take-out and delivery options available. Mexicue – We follow them on Twitter and travel [...]

Daniel Boulud’s DBGB Kitchen & Bar is again offering a whole hog dinner for up to 8 guests for $495 (plus tax & tip). Just give them 3-days notice and Chef Jim Leiken will stuff a whole Pennsylvania Green Village Farms slow-roasted suckling pig with house made sausage and serve it up family style with swiss [...]

Here’s a good reason to follow FoodParc on Twitter (@FoodParc) — the new, high-tech food hall on the ground floor of the Eventi Hotel (6th Ave at 29th St) has been posting daily tweets as part of what it’s calling “Operation Freebie“. Each daily Operation Freebie tweet, which typically gets posted at around 10 am, contains [...]
