Let There Be Olive Oil (And Lots of It!)

Saad of Essex Olive Oil & Spice in the all new and beautiful Essex Market. If you haven’t seen the new digs yet, you’re missing out.

Good to the Last Bite

Oh the joys of the Nonna Maria slice at Bleecker Street Pizza. It’s good down to the very last bite.

Dumplings All Around

Have you ever had the best Chinese dumplings in New York City? Come on my Lower East Side tour and I’ll hand deliver them to you courtesy of Vanessa’s Dumpling House.

Salami in the Sun

Getting a glimpse (in the sunlight) of Soppressata from Faicco’s. Not really but it made for a funny pic. No?

50 Years of ‘Nice’

50 years of marriage and celebrating it on one of my tours. I was so honored. These two took my Lower East Side tour.

Two Thumbs Up!

Siskel and Ebert. I miss those guys. Their trademark was “two thumbs up,” and pastrami at Katz’s Deli easily scores the highest ratings. Believe the hype. You’ll never go anywhere else for pastrami (or want to anyway)

Slice of Heaven. Seriously.

Dig into a slice of heaven. It’s such an overused expression but at Bleecker Street Pizza it’s pretty on target.

One is the loneliest number…

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do… Doughnut Plant​. Come by our Lower East Side Tour and sample a bunch of goodness.

Rice Balls All Around

Passing around some arancini (rice balls) at Faicco’s​. These are so good it’ll almost make you forget about the cold. Almost.  📷: Cortney Armitage for Moving Forward Consulting.
