Pan-Middle Eastern Flavors Light Up Nur, NYC

Pan-Middle Eastern Flavors Light Up Nur, NYC

This is NOT an Israeli restaurant, according to the chef and co-owners of Nur. So don't expect to find falafel or pita, please.

This is Pan- Middle Eastern, meant to be a reflection of the melding of cultures and flavors throughout the Levant and landing with great excitement in NYC. You won't miss ...

Petite Shell Tempts with Golden Rugelach

Petite Shell Tempts with Golden Rugelach

I heard the temptation before I inhaled it as I rounded the corner of 85th Street on Lexington Ave. in NYC.  Two young Moms clasped each other's well cloaked arms on a freezing January day and gasped, "Do you smell the butter? We've got to get one!" Indeed the alluring aromas of warm, sweet pastries and s...

The Little Beet for a Healthy Quickie in Mid-town

The Little Beet for a Healthy Quickie in Mid-town

By now you know that I love it when like-minded eaters tip me off to vegetarian spots that have plenty of options for anyone kosher like me or vegetarian. So when N. suggested that I check out The Little Beet I was totally game. Its menu is seasonal, ingredients are farm fresh and there are plenty of heathy n...

This Cooking Class Round-Up Has You Covered

Veggie Tales at City Grit: The Experience

Veggie Tales at City Grit: The Experience

City Grit is not a restaurant and not an underground supper club. So, what is it? And how do you find out what’s cooking? And most importantly, how do you join the party?  City Grit is the brainchild of Sarah Simmons, a North Carolina native, recently named one of America’s Greatest New Cooks by Food an...

When Vegetables Star at Le Verdure, Eataly

When Vegetables Star at Le Verdure, Eataly

Written and photographed by Marla Cohen I work only doors away from Eataly, a slightly intimidating Italian food emporium that is a cross between an Old World food market and a three-ring circus. Whether you are seeking a sit-down lunch or hunting for an obscure ingredient, Eataly probably has what you’...

Organic Vegan Meets Cute @Terri (Tofu & Avocado Wraps it Up)

Organic Vegan Meets Cute @Terri (Tofu & Avocado Wraps it Up)

By Marla Cohen The best way to enjoy lunch at Terri is to not have it there at all. On a nice day, this sandwich bar, which boasts only a handful of stools, is a great place to stop before staking out a cafe table on Fifth Avenue or in Madison Square Park. 11878...

Kajitsu Reborn and Revisited

Kajitsu Reborn and Revisited

Contributed by Hannah Kaminsky There's something different about Kajitsu, and it's not just the seasonal menu, refreshed every month to highlight fresh produce at its peak. The entire restaurant itself has picked up and moved uptown to a new space in Midtown, large enough to accommodate two separate dining...

Table Verte,Vegetarian French Bistro & Carrot Salad

Table Verte,Vegetarian French Bistro & Carrot Salad

If you’re staying local this summer but dreaming of Paris, head to Table Verte on 7th Street in the East Village, NYC, for a taste of traditional bistro fare. Well, maybe not so traditional since Table Verte is vegetarian. And as far as I can see, it is the only French vegetarian restaurant in NYC. That al...
