The Fries at Five Guys Gives Michelle Obama a Rise


According to an article on cnn.com, the First Lady has the hots for Five Guys french fries.
Ms. Obama recently stated, "I have a good relationship with french fries and I would eat them everyday if I could."
Just another reason why we adore the Obamas.
We're wondering why Five Guys is her all time fave for fries though. Thoughts?

Touchdown! Best NYC Bars for Football Season


Wondering where to catch the game this season? If you're not a huge fan of the Giants or Jets, you can find a host of bars that root for various hometeams nationwide.
amNY had me check out a variety of bars, many offering specials on beer and local treats (like pierogies!) for loyal fans.

You Can Meet Mario Batali


Though he hasn't been seen on Iron Chef for some time, we still like the antics (and the food) of everyone's favorite redheaded chef, Mario Batali.
You can catch a glimpse of him tomorrow, September 23rd, at Food Emporium from 12:30 to 2:30pm., where he will be debuting his latest line of pasta sauces. Yum! We hope there are samples.
The Food Emporium BridgeMarket is located at 405 East 59th St.(59th & First Avenue).

Two E at The Pierre Hotel


Citysearch asked me to take a look at this super swanky lounge, located inside the historic (but recently renovated) Pierre Hotel. We love Ringo, the bartender! You rock, sir!

The Gates



This fascinating club features a membership program...but the inside has some of the best people watching you can dream up (think male models in 80s Ts drooling over dainty small plates). Citysearch had me check it out...let me know what you think, if you can clear the velvet ropes.

Griffin NYC


Citysearch had me check out the newest MePa speakeasy...and it had a surprisingly easy door.

Palace Gate NYC


What could be better than Gossip Girl, champagne, and al fresco drinking? You'll find all 3 at this outdoor lounge (the sometimes-set of Gossip Girl). Citysearch had me write up Palace Gate, the patio space outside the swanky Palace Hotel.

Edison Ballroom NYC


Fans of swing can do their thing at this swanky (if older) ballroom (located in a historic Midtown hotel). I reviewed this spot for Citysearch, and wish I had practised my ballroom dancing skills!
