CrossTown Pub and Grill in Downtown Cary is located right in the centre of the action on East Chatham Street. Family run and owned, it is a pretty friendly place and seems to be one of those spots where everyone knows your name. I have been in a couple of times and sat up at the…
Dunhill Café in Midtown – A Good option for a Breakfast Sandwich
Dunhill Café on 45th Street between 7th Avenue and The Avenue of the Americas is a pretty good option for reasonably priced breakfast if you are staying in Midtown. Last week I was billeted at the Grace Boutique Hotel just a short walk from Times Square and this place was just perfect as it was…
The Perfect Storm Burger at Full Moon Oyster Bar
Last time I was at the Full Moon Oyster Bar the Burger sandwiches had looked so good that I made a mental note and perhaps a blog comment that I would be back to try one. I liked the nautical sound of their “8 Oz Perfect Storm Burger” which they describe as: “This juicy burger…
Noodle Blvd – Huge bowls of authentic tasty regional noodle soup
Noodle Blvd in Cary say that they ‘provide a fresh and unique take on authentic regional noodle dishes’, they also make a point of noting that they use ‘Healthy and Simple Ingredients’ that are ‘Second to None’.

A Salt and Battery – Excellent Fish and Chips in the West Village
A Salt and Battery on Greenwich Avenue in Manhattan NYC serve my favourite Fish and Chips in the USA. I first wrote about this place in 2011 when I was a expat living in Chicago hunting for foods from back home (read about that on one of my first blogs The Chicago El Stop Food Hunt Project) , back…
BurgerFi – “Stylish, eco-minded chain serving grass-fed beef burgers” or ‘a place selling delicious burgers that I like’

They describe themselves as a “Stylish, eco-minded chain serving grass-fed beef burgers, plus hot dogs, craft beer & wine.” It reminded me a little of Shakeshack, only more homely inside, and less industrial The burgers are…
Yum Yum Too in Hells Kitchen, Cocktails and Thai Food
Yum Yum Too is tucked away right at the end of Restaurant Row in Hells Kitchen. It is, or rather was, one of three Thai restaurants in the area, Yum Yum , Yum Yum Too, and Yum Yum Three? Last time I visited Yum Yum 3 was on the other side of the road, but that now seems…
El Molcajete Taco Truck – Food Trucks in Raleigh-Durham
The El Molcajete Taco Truck was one of the featured Food Trucks at the Bond Brothers Brewery last week. They spent the day on Saturday filling us up with awesome Mexican fare to soak up all that beer. I had read on the Bond Bros website in their happenings section that they were coming, so I took a…
Fish and Chips Friday at Full Moon Oyster Bar in Morrisville, North Carolina
I have dined out at the Full Moon Oyster Bar in Morrisville before, sampling their Oyster and Shrimp Po-Boy and their Mac n Cheese, and that was enough to get my juices flowing for a return trip! If you missed that post then check that out here as it was pretty goddam good and as…
The Heart Attack Burger at Ruckus – A Snowpocalypse Special
Last weekend was apparently a ‘Snowpacalypse’ in Morrisville and Cary, I am only making this leap of thought as Ruckus had a ‘snowpocalypse menu’ when we popped in for something to eat It was a bit icy and not many people were driving around so I figure that it was good to have a small…
