“I first came to Guys American Kitchen and Bar the weekend that it had first opened its doors and as a fan of Guy Fieri I was really kind of excited. Ok so I knew that it was a money making joint in the franchise, but we all have to make our cash somewhere so if Guy…

Katz’s Deli and The Pastrami and Rye of my Dreams
Katz’s Deli is a New York Institution and almost untouchable when one thinks of getting a ‘pastrami on rye’. When we finally made it here to sample one of their sandwiches I was kind of awestruck, it is like a mecca, a beacon of shining meat light, and so iconic in mine and many other’s…
Breakfast at Penn Station NYC
Some of my most loved breakfasts in New York have been a relatively simple affair with just a simple Egg Breakfast Sandwich. This particular breakfast spot is at Penn Station at 34th Street in the concourse running between the ACE and the 123 subways and where you get the LIRR and the Trains from to all over the country….
Nathan’s at Coney Island in Winter- Dogs are good any season!
No visit to New York is complete without a day trip out to Coney Island and a visit to the Original Nathan’s Hot Dog stand. Rain or Shine it is a day out that I look forward too. If I am honest it is more fun out of season when there are now crowds and the diners…
The Morocho Burger from Morocho Peruvian Fusion
When in New York and I am in the mood for some Food Truck food, it seems that the best port of call these days, is to head over to Union Square. There are always a whole mass of Food Trucks lined up there and the only decision for me is to try a new…
Bubba Gump – One of my many Guilty Pleasures
I love Bubba Gump, I know that it’s cheesy and that as an adult I probably should eat in more grown up resturants, but forget that I am a big kid at heart and this is my kind of place. If I am visiting New York for more than a couple of days I just have…
Twenty Four Hour Comfort Food at 3 Star Coffee Shop – Upper West Side, Bacon, Egg, Sausage and erm Cake!
Late night or early morning the brightly lit yet restrained sign of the 3 Star Coffee Shop shines like a beacon signalling the location of some good classic diner food and more importantly the American version of the ‘All Day Breakfast’. I am not sure what time I rolled into this spot, it was sometime between 12pm and 4 am after the…
Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar “open your mind or close it – whatever works for you, give it a whirl”
Around the corner from Bubba Gump in Times Square NYC, I spy a screen showing an episode of Diner’s, Drive Ins, and Dives featuring Guy Fieri. “What’s going on?” I hadn’t seen this place before, so I wandered over and it turned out that Guy Fieri had openend up one of his resturants in…
In a Pickle for Pickles? try Jacob’s Pickles or go off-pickle on the menu as I would
I am really not a big fan of the pickle so I don’t really recall why we thought it would be a good idea to go into Jacob’s Pickles in the first place, but I am kind of glad that we did. If you like pickles then there was quite an amazing selection; “dilly green beans, special…
Flushing – Very Authentic Chinese Food and Excellent Dumplings
Now is it a good idea to wander down random steps into a dimly lit basement beneath some shops? Well if you are looking for some really authentic chinese food in Flushing it is practically compulsory. These steps lead down into the bowels of the Golden Mall on Main Street in Flushing Queens, and into…
