Pumpkin Carving Party

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

On Sunday, we got a bunch of friends together and threw a pumpkin carving party that took place on top of a charming apartment building in the West Village. What a gorgeous day it was for fall festivities! We all brought our best looking pumpkins (purchased from a deli, of course, since we are all New Yorkers) and each picked out a design that we wanted to attempt (some more ambitious than others). As we carved, we snacked on butternut squash soup and pumpkin whoopie pies and warmed up with some spiked apple cider. Yummm… nothing beats fall entertaining!

Pre-ordered Pies…

Monday, October 24th, 2011

We found a way for you to cheat during Thanksgiving – without having to slave over your KitchenAid. For the first time, Four & Twenty Blackbirds is pre-ordering their signature pies online for the Thanksgiving rush! Available in four holiday flavors: brown butter pumpkin, bittersweet chocolate pecan, salty honey, and the salted caramel apple (our fave!). Make sure to visit their site and get your order in soon, before they sell out, and everyone will be talking about you as the hostess with the mostess!

Madison Square Eats

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

On the way to our lunch meeting this afternoon, we happened to stumble upon a plethora of food stands set up for the annual Madison Square Eats, including Roberta’s, Fatty Crab, Almond, Red Hook Lobster Pound, and Momofuku Milk Bar. After quickly vetoing our coffee spot location, we decided to hold our meeting in the park over butternut squash pizza, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and Belgium waffles. If only every meeting could be this decadent!

“Secret” NYC

Thanks to Eater for posting about “secret” off the menu items at some of our favorite restaurants throughout the city! How good does the “Egg” dish at Le Bernardin or the Bash Burger at Lure Fish Bar sound? YUM!

Torrisi is Expanding!

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

One of our favorite downtown spots, Torrisi Italian Specialties, just recently bought space next door and plans on expanding their yummy goodness to an Italian deli called Parm. While they are open now as a deli at T.I.S. during lunchtime, there is usually a 20-30 minute wait for their amazing concoctions. Hopefully this means with the expansion that the wait will be reduced to 10-15 minutes? Whatever the wait may be, it’s absolutely worth it (especially for their Chicken Parm Sandwich)!
