Having friends over to my place, kicking back with a few beverages, hitting up Murray's for some cheese to put on those LaFrieda sliders and watching the Giants gut out another win.

Where To Eat Near: Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center

I work at 53rd/Park and pass them everyday. They are still there M-F, but not for late lunches. I'd say they pack it in by 3pm.

New Jersey's Santillo's Serves a Timeline of Pizza History

I grew up in Elizabeth and Santillo's pizzas are incredible. The sicilian pizza is a particular favorite. I've moved out of the area but still drive back for Al's pizzas and stuffed breads. He's the last of the old school bakers...you can't find the care he takes and quality anywhere else.

New Jersey Dispatch: Santillo’s Brick Oven Pizza

I grew up in Elizabeth enjoying Santillo's pizzas and stuffed breads and now still live close enough to drive up to Santillo's. Al is the last of the real craftsmen around making pizzas and bread. He really cares about what he makes and the pizzas are second to none. I'm glad he's getting some public recognition after all these years.

Photo of the Day: Salmiakki Ice Cream

My god that brought back horrible memories from Finland. When I was there, my friends went nuts for salmiakki. I almost puked after downing a shot of it. I wasn't expecting it to taste like somone accidentally dumped a carton of salt into a bottle of black sambucca. Truly awful stuff.

Best Steamed Crabs in Baltimore?

I agree with L.P. Steamers. Especially the rooftop deck when the weather is nice.
