You would be hard pressed to find dining with a grander backdrop than The Grand Tier Restaurant, as the name insists. In its prime location on the Metropolitan Opera’s second floor, the entry’s mammoth staircase is fit for royalty. Diners overlook the Met’s stunning interior on one side and Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza and fountain in the other direction. In December the Plaza’s

Overheard on the streets: Starbucks (or as a friend of mine calls it 4-Bucks, since you can't leave without spending at least $4) has a size smaller than their "tall". A Starbucks "Tall" otherwise known as a "small" in almost every other beverage place is a 12 ounce serving. A friend tells me Starbucks has a "secret" smaller size (possibly around 8 ounces??) that you can ask for on the down low

About 7 years ago a friend of mine out in California told me the marvels of Jamba Juice. She picked one up every day on her way to class and it tied her over until dinner. She loved it, swore by it, and teased all us east of the Mississippi for having no idea what she was talking about. Like most things, Jamba Juice eventually made its way to New York City. I tried one (without sorbet),

David Kamp’s The United States of Arugula: How We Became a Gourmet Nation makes for a good light read for anyone interested in the subject of food, its follies and fights in the United States. It glides the decades and personalities of the food world with personal stories, quirky accounts and riffs of all our favorite foodie things: from the feisty Frenchman brought in to “enlighten” Americans

Tucked away in the lower level of Rockefeller Center, The Sea Grill, is the Center’s premier dining space. Overlooking Rockefeller Center’s Ice Rink (ice is set in November; otherwise outdoor dining), the view offers prime entertainment (be wary as the skaters can see you too and notice your every giggle at their stumbles). Starting in mid-November when the Center’s Christmas tree can be seen

We all get tired of the same old fare when eating out. Chicken becomes chicken, steak is steak and the usual du jour is a bore. Regardless of ethnic or fusion twist, there comes a point in everyone’s life where a lingering hunger no meal or cuisine can satisfy presents its ugly head. It is a sad state in the restaurant goers life. There are restaurants now attempting to change the mundane.
