Phils Steaks – NYC – Cheesesteak wit wiz

Oh my Gawd, I was just hitting food truck after food truck. I had headed down on the red line just to hit up Union Square to see if the traders at the regular farmers food market were still there. On my way from the station walking along 14th St I bumped into Phils Steaks. With a…

Real Good Truck – NYC

I am a total sucker for a food truck and even if I have just eaten I can’t pass one by, even if I just have a taste. 20 minutes earlier I was walking out from the Chelsea Market with my meat pie from “Tuck Shop” and I was heading over to Myers of Keswick…

Tuck Shop ‘the great aussie bite’ NYC

I love a good meat pie and I had read about this place on NFT (Not For Tourists) NYC so I really had to head over here for a pie. I had checked it out over the holiday season but I was on my way then to get Fish and Chips from ‘A Salt and…

Rickshaw Dumplings Food Truck – Times Square New York Rickshaw Dumpling Bar is located just on the edge of Times Square, if you surface from the Times Square subway entrance at the far south east corner to avoid the crowds you will hit this particular bar.   It is not really a food truck as…

Metro North – Princeton New Jersey

I was too busy catching up with friends to take many pictures at this place, a decent grill just outside of Princeton New Jersey. Old quaint and with quite a little bit of history the ambiance was very comfortable. With no alcohol in sight the conversation flowed which just goes to show that good company and…

Triumph Brewery – Princeton New Jersey

  There is something special about taking a friend to a place you know that they will love for the first time and no trip to Princeton would be complete without a visit to the Triumph Brewery.  That was my pleasure last week, I had sold Triumph on the basis that it was a brew…

Bagel Nosh – East Windsor New Jersey

OK I admit that this post is a total indulgence. When I lived and worked in New Jersey this was my best lunch and breakfast option, whether it was a breakfast sandwich, a club sandwich at lunch or a salad when I was on Atkins, Bagel Nosh supplied them all. I doubt any readers will…

M&M world in Times Square – Take out

Inspiration or enthusiam arrives in many strange ways. After two hours searching the remote for my UK DVD player it was finally located under the piles of menus and flyers for unwritten blog entries that I have been putting off for the last few weeks, and in that pile was the remnants of the Christmas…

CHaRLITo’s CoCINa – “Scratch Cooking and Charcuterie”

I bumped into Charlito’s Cocina at the Columbus Christmas Market on a pre-xmas shopping trip to New York. Hidden away amongst the stalls selling beads, fancy jewellery, and scented candles, Charles Wekselbaum stood with his small board of little charcuterie treats. Other market browsers passed him by, but I was straight in there. There were some…

Nathan’s Hot Dogs at Coney Island

If you like the occasional hot dog then no trip to New York woud be complete without a trip to the mecca of Nathan’s original hot dogs in Brooklyn at Coney Island  on the corner of  Surf and Stillwell Avenue opposite the Coney Island Subway stop. It is not just the history of the place that has…
