Contributing to NYC Eats and Treats

I am contributing to a blog a group of my friends started to list our favorite restaurants in NYC. Everything from cheap to fine dining. When I first moved to NYC I wanted to try every restaurant in the city - well, I realized that is impossible (especially since the open and close rate is frequent). I could probably appropriately try all the restaurants highly recommended by friends. I just posted two great options: Danny Meyer Restaurants and B.R Guest Restaurants. My Sugar Daddy Chef Aaron Brown worked at Gramercy Tavern (Danny Meyer) and with him I also tried a few other Danny Meyer restaurants. Shake Shack is a staple in NYC, especially once the weather warms up. The main location, in Madison Square Park, is a perfect option for a night out and to enjoy the beautiful weather and parks of Manhattan. One of my best 1st dates was at Blue Water Grill, a B.R. Restaurant. The food was great and it was a perfect evening. I've returned a few times.

I'll be contributing a few more posts, specifically features Times Square restaurants. As an avid Theater goer (and one who is always trying to Lottery and Rush tickets) my friends and I have found quite a few cheap and quick eats that we can grab before hitting up a show. Stay tuned.

When I was in New York we went to several great restaurants. Two that really stood out were a little Italian place called Serafina and the other was Norma's in Le Parker Meridien Hotel, which serves fine dining for breakfast. I also LOVED my sandwich from Lenny's deli.
If you have never been to Ellen's Stardust Diner, you definitely should. It's a 50's style diner where all of the employees are aspiring Broadway stars and take turns performing showtunes. The talent was amazing and the food was very reasonably priced. You've got to try it!
