While shopping recently at Dillon’s west, I nearly fell to my knees and wept. There it was, piled between the kale and the cilantro: Italian flat leaf parsley. After a couple of years of deprivation, I can once again make all of those parsley recipes twelve months a year. Oh my!
I haven’t been there yet, but the food is delicious (according to two people I know). The restaurant, della Voce, is on Poyntz, just east of Gaia Salon.

I know Sara K already wrote on this topic, but I have a different angle, I think. Yes, I’m indignant about the stunt that Dial Realty has pulled, while surely making money off of yet another small town (all we’re missing from the project is a monorail, with which we’d be an even better parody [...]

What are our choices here:
Pizza Slut - Really, anyone over 15 who says they like this pie needs to seek therapy.
Pizza Shuttle - Super generic [...]
Having moved here from two cities far more urban and urbane than Manhattan, at first I was amused that there was still a discussion of the merits of banning smoking in restaurants. Most of the civilized world has already done so. Even nicotine-happy European nations have taken steps toward cutting down on smoking in places [...]
An oft-repeated lament among those recently transplanted to Manhattan is the dearth of dining options. Sure, if you want a sub or burger, you’re covered. We’ve even got a few decent Mexican options (Los Potrillos being my personal favorite, and I’m a sucker for Chipotle burritos, even if a chain). Beyond that, however, it gets [...]
