$7.50 Bacon Cheeseburger, Griddled then Broiled, at Arthur’s Tavern in Hoboken, NJ
March 15, 2010
With the exception of a few deli recommendations friends have passed along, Hoboken, New Jersey is uncharted territory for NYC Food Guy. But when searching for Hoboken’s best burgers on my own, Arthur’s Tavern repeatedly appeared. This massive, neon-signed bar, grill and steakhouse made my decision even easier when I saw the $7.50 price tag [...]
If You Hate Yourself, Eat Burger King’s New Steakhouse XT Burgers
March 12, 2010
If you hate yourself, smoke cigarettes. If you hate yourself, walk into moving traffic. But if you really hate yourself and your heart and your stomach, then eat the new Steakhouse XT burgers at Burger King. My friend Eric and I had the pleasure of eating each of the three varieties of XT burgers earlier [...]
KyoChon: First Taste Does Not Leave Me Wanting More
March 11, 2010
One of the best barometer’s of a restaurant’s success is whether or not you want to return after your first meal. KyoChon, one day away from its grand opening, did not pass this test. The Korean fried chicken chain, which opened its first Manhattan location Tuesday, is still in soft opening, but after waiting an [...]

March 9, 2010
Diane’s is why suburbanites are happy, particularly those near the Rosyln-based bakery, cafe and neighboring restaurant, Trattoria Diane. And for NYC Food Guy there are few better Long Island lunches than you’ll find at Diane’s Bakery Cafe, a place Manhattan’s meccas of prepared food aspire to be.
Bring Hungry Carnivores & Skip the Appetizers at Vinegar Hill House
March 8, 2010
It’s a blustery winter night and you’re wandering through the wilderness, surrounded by dark, unfriendly mountains subconsciously hastening your search for a nearby lodge, a warm oasis stocked with food and drink. Now replace the wilderness with the eerie calm of Vinegar Hill; the dark, unfriendly mountains with the Farragut Houses; and the nearby lodge [...]
Free Drink & Garlic (or Regular) Fries Until March 31st at New NoHo Bar West 3rd Common
March 6, 2010
Board games, couches and a free drink with garlic (or regular) fries just for mentioning the term “wheaten terrier.” What more can you ask for? This special, celebrating West 3rd Common’s recent opening (and owner Dan’s dog), runs until March 31st. Sister bar to my favorite East Village neighborhood bar Common Ground, West 3rd Common [...]
Cafe Duke’s Spicy Chicken Pizza: Best Non-Restaurant Pizza in Midtown
March 4, 2010
Unlike many Midtown desk jockeys, I do everything in my power to avoid eating at the “we have it all” deli. The Café Dukes of the city are the enemy of little specialty shops everywhere, making up for mainly mediocre, high-priced food by offering more options than your mind can handle, all under one roof. [...]
