foods of new york: eating our way through the west village
Now that the countdown is on until the romantic says au revoir to New York (and the wino is teetering on severe depression), we’ve been trying to cram in all the Big Apple fun we can manage. One thing the romantic will miss most about New York? The food. We know where to get the best bagel, the best slice of pizza, the cheapest Pad Thai, and the Chinese that comes with free wine (that’s a real thing). Though foodie adventures are sure to abound around the world, there’s just something about a city that offers freshly baked cookies delivered…

hungary in new york: our dinner at andre’s
Like the good little bloggers that we are, we’ve been conducting strenuous research surrounding our upcoming jaunt through Eastern Europe. Mainly, this has involved a lot of procrastinating via Google Image searches and trying to name all the Czech beers we want to drink. Last night, we took our mission to the streets of New York in search of some true blue Hungarian food. To clarify: we walked about 50 feet from our apartments and met at Andre’s Cafe on 85th & 2nd to research what, exactly, Hungarian food involves. It turns out: we’re, like, really into Hungarian food. Let’s review,…

cozy up, new york
If you know us well, (or have read any posts from the winter ever), when the temperatures drop, the wino and I have a serious problem with the whole “leaving-our-apartments” charade that other people call “living.” Apparently it’s ok if bears bury themselves underground for months, but less endearing when humans do it? Also, here is where I note: neither of us actually know what hibernation is or where the bears go, exactly. Anyway, as we already addressed, this year we are trying to change things. I’ve found that the best way to get me out of my pajamas and into the…

brewed in brooklyn: a winter’s tale
Though hibernation seems to be in our blood, we’re here to say: not this year. Getting older and wiser (and infinitely more beautiful and charming and interesting) means we’re prepared to fight. We will beat the inevitable bout of cabin fever! Normally, you can’t pay us to venture our of our apartments, let alone our borough. But for a beer tour called Brewed in Brooklyn? We’re listening… Clearly, now that the holidays are behind us, we’ve reached the point in winter when it becomes increasingly more difficult to leave our warm apartments. Obviously, we should venture out in the cold…

wanderlust cure: new york edition
Though we can’t complain that we’re finally reunited in New York City, there is one minor downside: our wanderlust is bordering on out of control. We can’t help it! It seems like every time we’re together, we end up pining over the countless cities where we’d rather be. You know, just drinking wine and catching bits and pieces of a foreign tongue. And what, exactly, is the wanderlust cure for such a desire?! Though the majority of New York speaks English (albeit with some interesting accents), we’re lucky! When our need for cultural submersion reaches its boiling point, we can escape…
