A shout-out to Starbucks on Park Avenue South

A shout-out to Starbucks on Park Avenue South
Food & drink / New York / USA September 22, 2012 September 22, 2012 Leave a comment

When you stay at the kind of hotel that doesn’t have a kettle in the room, you head out for breakfast. Literally 30 seconds from our hotel there was a Starbucks.  The New York Times, wifi, loads of space to sit and surf – perfect. Now, I have been in …

Zana Restaurant, New York City

Zana Restaurant, New York City

On a recent holiday in New York, we decided to eat one night in the restaurant at street level, at the bottom of our hotel, the King & Grove. What can I say ? Indifferent service to the point of almost insolence. Indifferent pizza, according to hubby. My linguine were …

KIng & Grove Hotel, New York City

KIng & Grove Hotel, New York City
Hotels / New York / USA September 22, 2012 September 22, 2012 1 comment

The hotel came recommended by a cousin, who knew it as the Lola, but by the time we arrived in Manhattan, it had changed management and its name, and become the King & Grove. The location of the hotel is great – 29 E 29th Street – so just about …

Benihana still going strong

Food & drink / New York / Restaurants / USA September 21, 2012 September 21, 2012 Leave a comment

There’s something about holidays that make you do nostalgic-y things. We hadn’t been to the US in over 15 years, and so inevitably there was a certain amount of “oh, remember we did x, y or z with the children when we were last here.” One of  “those things” had …

Where can you find THE best ravioli in New York ?

Where can you find THE best ravioli in New York ?
Food & drink / New York / Restaurants / USA September 21, 2012 September 21, 2012 3 Comments

2nd & 74th, according to our good friend and mega-foodie Vikram Tandon. As an ex-New Yorker, he should know, and so, on a recent trip to New York after far too many years (but that’s another story) we met up for lunch at Zucchero and Pomodori to try these amazing …

Where to eat in Manhattan’s Meatpacking district

Where to eat in Manhattan’s Meatpacking district
Food & drink / New York / Restaurants / USA September 20, 2012 September 20, 2012 Leave a comment

After a long hot morning of walking the streets of lower Manhattan and exploring the High Line, we were ready for lunch.  Excited by the whole revitalised Meatpacking District, which was new to us (visiting New York after far too long) we homed in in Pastis, which had an authentic …

Does Sardi’s in New York still have that buzz ?

Does Sardi’s in New York still have that buzz ?
New York / Restaurants / USA September 18, 2012 September 18, 2012 Leave a comment

I am not really sure, is the honest answer. Having not been to New York in aeons, nor to Sardi’s in even more aeons, I had no idea of knowing whether the iconic restaurant that I first visited back in the late 1970s was even still considered an icon. We …

Where to find the best (bison) burger in Manhattan

Where to find the best (bison) burger in Manhattan

The things you discover about your friends when you travel. Meeting up with our dear Delhi friends Kiran and Vikram Tandon in Manhattan, which was their old stomping ground for many years, I learned that Vikram is a foodie of note, as in Of Note. When we decided to meet …

Where to eat authentic Belgian food in New York

Where to eat authentic Belgian food in New York
Food & drink / New York / Restaurants / USA September 15, 2012 July 13, 2014 Leave a comment

I have long suspected that Belgian is the new French, as far as cuisine goes, and the great Markt restaurant in Manhattan is a case in point. After a couple of dull, overpriced meals in French restaurants, Markt came as a breath of fresh air. On a visit to New …
