Marchesi di Barolo 90th Anniversary at TAK Room
I was honored to spend a delightful evening celebrating the Abbona family’s 90th Anniversary of owning their winery, Marchesi di Barolo, at Thomas Keller’s newly opened Hudson Yards restaurant TAK Room. The luxurious venue, offering stunning views over the city including the Vessel landmark, was ideal for an evening of exquisite wine tasting and Continental cuisine.
Valentina Abbona, now head of the winery, and her mother Anna introduced us to the history of their estate, with strong pride in their history and tradition. The Marchesi Di Barolo wine is referred to as “the king of wines and wine of kings” due to a French Noblewoman in the early 1800’s, Juliette Colbert de Maulévrier, being the first to see potential in the wine made in Barolo, sending barrels to the Italian king. The wine was praised for its unique power, elegance and strength. The Abbona family eventually were able to acquire the lands of the winery after Juliette’s death, starting a legacy of years of hard work aiming to enrich the traditions of the winery, in memory of Juliette’s techniques, with knowledge passed from parent to child combined with modern advancements across over five generations. The family’s commitment to continual hard work has been paramount to the high standards of the winery.
Anna and Valentina Abbona
We were served a range of flavorful wines throughout the evening, with Valentina explaining how their production varied. Despite being from different years, vineyards, and using methods of production, Valentina emphasised how all the wines had “the same soul.” A table favourite was the Sarmassa 2014, with a colorful dark and fruity taste that had a bit of fight in it to release its expressions gradually, which Valentina explained was due to the grapes being from a single vineyard that grew in the tougher conditions of rocky soil. Another favourite, the Barolo 2014 offered a different sharp and immediate taste, with its grapes being sourced from a blend of vineyards on the estate.
The wine paired beautifully with food from the TAK Room menu. First starters were served of fresh bread, “Super Chilled Iceberg Salad” with applewood smoked bacon and marinated tomatoes drizzled in Maytag blue cheese, followed by hand cut steak tartare. The main dish was “True Ribeye Steak” with spinach and buttermilk whipped potato. Each bite of the steak was like experiencing the delicious flavours for this first time, richly complemented by the deep and fruity tones of the wine. Dessert included an elegant “Dark Chocolate Layer Cake” and home-made caramelised popcorn.
For a range of exquisite wine options, try Marchesi di Barolo and discover more about the famed winery here. Also make sure to visit TAK Room at 20 Hudson Yards 5th floor, 10001, to enjoy a large menu of carefully made, delectable food in a timelessly elegant and luxurious setting.
Barano: Italian Dining At Its Best
Barano, an Italian restaurant located in Williamsburg, is an endearing eatery that provides you with a modern rustic scenery. The atmosphere of Barano engulfs you in a warmth that transports you to feel as though you are at an enchanting Italian villa.
From beginning to end of your dining experience here, there is a reinvented take on traditional Italian cuisine, opening your palate to customary dishes with a specialized twist and flawless presentation. When eating, it is rare to find food that tastes delicious and is presented well, but at Barano there is no need to settle for one or the other.
The eccentric cocktail names and savory meals ensure a memorable experience that everyone desires, whether you’re a local or tourist. One of the most captivating aspects were the names of the drinks on the menu. Although you may never find yourself in a situation where you’d say, “ I’ll do a living in a van down by the river and a schwing please”, but, after having a sip of the drinks, it’ll be your new favorite sentence.
Their menu offers food that accommodates all audiences, whether you’re pescatarian, vegetarian, or gluten free. Options range from steak, fish, pasta and chicken. When going out with friends, and especially large groups, finding a menu that suits everyones’ needs can be a daunting task, but Barano eliminates that stress.
The antipasta listed a variety of options that were impossible to go wrong with. The octopus was not only a favorite due to flavor, but its beautiful presentation will make you hesitate to dig in. The house bread was paired with chickpea puree + basil pesto, which if you never knew you needed it before, now you do. Not to mention, once you start eating their house made stracciatella you’ll never be able to stop.
The main courses continue to exceed expectations. It is ensured to leave with a happy and full stomach. After a meal, a desert is always desired but never something that will leave you overwhelmingly full. Barano’s dessert menu offers light options to end the dining experience with a sweet that tops off the meal.
The food and cocktails reverberate the atmosphere in every bite and sip. This restaurant brings with it not only quality food but a quality experience.
A sparkling night – Celebrating Pol Roger Champagne
On October 15th, 2019, guests were invited to a very special evening, the celebration of Pol Roger Champagne. The cocktail reception and dinner was hosted by Hubert de Billy, 5th generation heir to one of the most popular champagne brands in the world.
The event took place at the One Hotel Brooklyn Bridge where even well-travelled guests were visibly impressed with the extraordinary views and setting. Upon entering the rooftop, everybody was provided with a glass of sparkling champagne which guaranteed that guests could enjoy the setting with a more than appropriate aperitif.
This aperitif was then followed by a very elaborate dinner served in an intimate setting in a private room inside the hotel’s restaurant. While the spotlight of the night was clearly taken by the various courses of delicious Pol Roger that were paired with each dinner course, the food didn’t fail to impress either.
Already the expansive cheese platter with season-appropriate pumpkin brioche, served as arrival course, didn’t fail to exceed expectations. The following varieties of meat, salmon, pappardelle and vegetable plates were only topped by the desert course which came in the form of a complex symphony of citrus cheesecake, deconstructed campfire s’mores and sticky toffee pudding.
Another highlight of the night was provided by Hubert de Billy himself who told various engaging stories about the history and evolution of Pol Roger. Many of those were, as expected, centered around Winston Churchill who was arguably the first and most vocal advocate of Pol Roger. According to Churchill, Pol Roger is “the world’s most drinkable address” which also led to the champagne brand being featured in the movie Darkest Hour.
However, even after Churchill’s death, Pol Roger is still celebrated by various English political figures. Accordingly, Pol Roger Brut Reserve Non Vintage was supplied at both Prince Harry and Prince William’s wedding receptions, and Pol Roger is one of the only houses to be appointed as an official supplier to the Royal family.
Hubert de Billy also emphasized the deep connection between Pol Roger and Brooklyn Bridge that particularly raised attention since the discovery of 27 Pol Roger bottles that survived time and the fatal collapse of the Brooklyn Bridge vault in 1900. The vault is closed to the public since 2001 but photos still clearly show the Pol Roger logo inside the facilities.
In the future, the champagne brand expects even more growth and international recognition which, judging from this first-hand taste, shouldn’t pose any difficulties.

Ten Hope offers exciting, expertly-crafted cocktails, such as the aptly named rum based Comfortably Numb, bursting with notes of Thai basil and black pepper or the not-so-subtle Royal Half, with Bourdon, blood orange and ginger. The innovative, fun and fizzy Hopeful Sodas, house-made spiked seltzers, infused with Hibiscus Vodka, Grapefruit Tequila, and Earl Grey Gin, are definite winners in a world of White Claw shortages. In addition with Champagne, Wine and Beer, Ten Hope’s fully stocked bar will not disappoint.

Outside, a vine-laced, dimly-lit 2,500 square-foot patio provides generous seating, and serves as a beautiful entryway to the restaurant’s mod-interior, a space for up to a hundred guests. Whether it’s a late night drink date, dinner with friends and family or a long afternoon on the weekend, Ten Hope is the perfect spot to bring people together: a living room, dining room, and patio for locals to call home throughout the seasons.

Other highlights from the menu include Roasted Carrots with Squid Ink Ricotta, Chicken Cooked Under a Brick and my favorite, crispy, cumin coated Lamb Ribs which brought a whole new magical meaning to what lamb can be.

To spice things up further, Ten Hope’s owner, restaurateur and music event producer Bill Zafiros is marrying his two passions by bringing a weekly Tuesday series of live music, dubbed Studio Sessions, which will showcase NYC’s newest talents and sounds.
Overall, Ten Hope certainly impresses, resulting in excellent food with an authentic Mediterranean flare, in a warm, contemporary environment.
Fornino Pizza
Weaving my way through the heart of the bustling neighbourhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, I soon arrived at Fornino, a true treasure trove of a pizzeria. Upon entering, we were greeted at a bar space buzzing with chatter. The rustic tones of brick and wood were brightened with warm lighting, setting the fun and relaxed mood for the evening as we were shown to the cozy table area past the bar.
We sipped on elegant Strawberry Lemonade Hibiscus Ice Tea as we browsed the seemingly endless choices of pizza which progressed through “generations.” The “first generation” selections included more simple choices such as Marghertia Classica and Marinara. The “second generation” began to include more creative combinations such as the Cosenza adorned with n’duja, butternut squash, stracciatella, oregano and spicy honey.
The “third generation” pizzas were the most inventive, with topping selections that I thought one could only dream of having on pizza. After much deliberation, we selected a new addition to the menu, the Zucchini e pesto which included zucchini, mozzarella, goat cheese, mint pesto and Fresno chilli for an extra kick, along with the Funghi e prosciutto which had shiitake mushroom, prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, fontina and pecorino. Options for gluten free and vegan substitutes were available, as well as a range of lavish salads and Antipizza.
Due to the smaller size of the restaurant, the atmosphere was intimate and amicable, with the staff providing incredibly friendly and efficient attention to each and every patron. The pizza arrived shortly, presented on a stand ideal for sharing onto separate plates.
I’d never seen pizza that looked so irresistibly inviting and was torn between which to try first, eventually taking a slice of the Funghi e prosciutto. The balance of each ingredient was perfect, with the dough being the ideal consistency so as to enhance rather than overpower the taste of each topping. The Zucchini e pesto was delightfully light and refreshing with the combination of mint pesto and chilli really awakening the taste buds.
Of course, there was still room for dessert with a range of ice cream sundaes available. We chose the Brownie Sundae for Two, quickly devouring the exquisite mountain of warm brownie topped with chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, salted caramel, and chocolate sauce dusted in powdered sugar.
Be sure to visit Fornino’s at 849 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn 11222 to taste some truly scrumptious and inventive pizza with a setup and atmosphere ideal for socialising and sharing. Fornino offers a brunch pizza menu, lunch specials, and a main dinner menu; or if you fancy a night in try their take-out and delivery options!

Food and Fun at Maker's Mark(et): A Taste of Old New York
On Thursday, October 10th, Maker’s Mark completely took over the new Essex Market in NYC’s Lower Eastside. Maker’s Mark wanted to give back to New Yorkers because the Wall Street Journal put them on the front page when they were just starting out, which contributed to their popularity. New Yorkers were invited to Maker’s Mark(et): A Taste of Old New York, where they got to taste Essex Market’s delicious food stands with Maker’s Mark cocktails in hand. Guests got to choose three perfectly crafted Maker’s cocktails, and then pair them with food from the food stands.
Maker’s Mark(et) was held at the new Essex Market, which is located in the Lower East
Maker’s provided signs next to each bartender that described the drink they were serving and what food it paired well with (this was extremely useful for people like me who just turned 21 and know nothing about whiskey!) My personal favorite was the Second Avenue Penicillin cocktail, which I paired with a savory empanada from the Dominican Cravings food stand and chicken tacos from the Puebla Mexican Food stand. The drink also paired well with Cafe D’Avignon’s outstanding banana chocolate chip bread.
The event was a great way to celebrate Maker’s Mark, as well as support a very important cause. All proceeds from the event benefited the United by Blue company, which is an outdoor clothing brand focused on ocean conservation, and for every ticket purchased, three pounds of trash will be removed from waterways. Guests also left the event with a new reusable copper mug (perfect for Moscow mules) and reusable straws to help guests decrease their plastic usage. I left this event absolutely stuffed, and a new fan of Maker’s Mark bourbon!
Cafe D’Avignon provided pastries and cookies for the event.

Janel’s humbling attitude warmed the room as she gave a speech thanking all those who attended in honor of her and her accomplishment. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres such as Lychee Martinis and vegetable dumplings fueled conversation that filled the room between old friends and new ones. Whether the chatter was shared between previous acquaintances or blossoming friendships, what everyone had in common was that they were there for Janel. She also spent the warm summer months being deemed “Best Actress” at the East Hampton TV Festival. Her talent received the same well-earned praise at Northeast Film Festival.

Not only does she have a glowing personality but looks as well, as she made Maxim's Hot 100 list. The venue’s atmosphere complemented the launch party perfectly as it was both intimate and lively, mirroring the mood of the event. Tables were sprawled about with Resident Magazine’s and Janel on the cover. This detail was a touch that allowed guests a first-hand glance and even more personal experience with the magazine and Janel. It was truly the perfect way to integrate people with the party as it sparked conversation and allowed everyone to flip through the content.

Some highlighted guests include: Peter Thomas Roth, R. Couri Hay, Violetta Malakhova, Nicole Noonan, Designer Iya Islamova, Photographer Udo Spreitzenbarth, Nancy Chemtob, Sofia Symonds and American Hip-Hop Artist, Consequence. Janel Tanna’s Resident Magazine Cover Party was a night to remember shedding spotlight on a woman of true talent.
The Glass Menagerie by the Wild Project
“I have tricks in my pocket—I have things up my sleeve—but I am the opposite of a stage magician. He gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth. I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion”
With these opening lines, the audience is drawn into a dimly lit world of memory, where the truth of arduous family interactions are presented through an eerie dream.
The Wild Project welcomes the Halloween season this year with a disquieting new version of The Glass Menagerie. Ruth Stage presents the Tennessee Williams classic in a chilling, surrealistic and dreamlike world. Directors Austin Pendleton and Peter Bloch, following two critically acclaimed runs of The Wars of the Roses, direct this production which explores the notions of memory and fractured family relationships as Tom (Matt de Rogatis) relives his time in the Wingfield’s St Louis apartment, 1939, with his overbearing mother (Ginger Grace) and mentally fragile sister (Alexandra Rose).
Matt De Rogatis (who also played “Richard III” in The Wars of the Roses), effectively conveys Tom’s repressed torment and frustration under the burden of supporting an unappreciative family, as well as bringing to life Tom’s comedic and poetic sides. Ginger Grace brings to the stage an officious yet whimsical Amanda, who, through an intriguingly soft-spoken voice, becomes increasingly obsessed with her son’s every move, with finding her daughter a “gentleman caller,” and recollecting her past life as a Southern belle. And, in her professional theater debut as Laura, actress Alexandra Rose manages to capture the empathy of the audience with her vivid portrayal of the character’s utter lack of self-confidence. Spencer Scott plays a deceivingly charming Jim O’Conner whom the audience hope, as the long awaited gentleman caller, will save the Wingfield’s from their disastrous downwards spiral.
Set designer Jessie Bonaventure (assistant set designer on Hadestown) presents the Wingfield house through the lens of a nightmare, with grey furniture reminiscent of a haunted house, juxtaposed to Laura’s delicate collection of glass animals -- ever-present on stage. The element of the surreal and nightmare is further incorporated by the enormous black and white photo of the fifth character in the play, Tom and Laura’s father and Amanda’s husband, “a telephone man who fell in love with long distance” whose image grins almost grotesquely throughout. His absence is ominously ingrained in the minds of the audience just as it is in the characters. Steven Wolf creates the complementary dim lighting throughout and an entrancing candlelight scene between Laura and Jim in which the shadows of dread pervade the hints of romance.
Sean Haggerty writes the score taking inspiration from The Exorcist soundtrack to create a few moments of chilling suspense in collaboration with Jesse Meckl designing the sound.
There were moments when it seemed that opportunities to immerse more in the genre of horror and suspense were missed, when eeriness would build but then the path back towards naturalism was too abruptly taken. Nevertheless, the Wild Project brings a compelling take on the classic production whilst staying true to the perceptions of Williams, and manages to explore how surrealism and the nightmare form relate to how we may recreate and relive painful memories in our minds.
Tickets for this limited engagement run up to October 20th are available at Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-300 or at www.theglassmenagerieplay.com

Fall at Clinton Hall: The new seasonal menu
Fall is finally here! This is my favorite season, especially in New York City: The weather is warm with a breeze in the air, streets are prettier when tree leaves turn red, and houses get spookier when Halloween is around the corner. But as a foodie, my favorite thing about autumn is all the seasonal goodies that comes when the temperature gets cooler. Clinton Hall made sure to launch their new fall items, to satisfy all of us foodies out here. I couldn’t miss out on this.
I met with two of my friends at Clinton Hall’s Williamsburg location at the POD BK Hotel, and it was everything we needed after a long work-day: a chill interior, cool neon lights, hip and young energy, friendly ambiance, and (most importantly) a bar. We were welcomed by a smiley staffer (who was super sweet to us throughout the entire night), and the hostess walked us to our table. But as I was walking between the seats and looking around the cozy interior, I realized that there were board games, papers and pencils on each dining table. I was intrigued.
Seated, the waiter gave us the menus, and they are BIG. There was a huge variety of appetizers, salads, craft burger, drinks, and more. We eventually made up our mind, and decided to have the Dip Trio: a huge plate of butternut squash hummus, fresh guacamole, and spicy feta dip, served with veggie sticks and pita chips. It was so flavorful, light, and fresh at the same time. For the main dish, I picked the Clinton Hall dry aged burger, which is perfect for the cool weather. With a half a pound of 28-day dry aged beef, swiss cheese, crisps onions, watercress, and horseradish cream, this mouthwatering burger is as delicious as it looks. The fall season also calls for fresh honey. This is why my friend and I also split The Crispy Chicken Stack, topped with the delightful Mike’s Hot Honey sauce. This sweet-and-sour sandwich is just perfection for this time of the year. The sauce complements the crispy chicken perfectly, and is served with rainbow slaw, hot cherry peppers, fried pickles, and a side of French fries.
Our dishes were empty, our stomachs were stuffed, and our souls were happy. While we were enjoying the last sips from our wine and beer glasses, we heard the host welcoming everyone to Trivia Night (which explains the games and stationery on the table). And as I was trying to remember what AM means to win the game, I thought of how happy I was. This is all what I needed after a long day at work: good food, generous portions, amazing company, and fun times.
PS: AM stands for Ante Meridiem (Latin for before midday).
Algemeiner’s 6th Annual J100 Gala

I may not have met my Nice Jewish Boy but that was not what the evening was about (thought I would’ve been an added bonus.) This night, billed as the Jewish answer to the TIME 100, was the Algemeiner’s 6th Annual J100 Gala 1where significant individuals influencing Jewish life are recognized. Held in New York at Gotham Hall, there was a large turnout from supporters in the Jewish community who understand the importance of these new 100 inductees.

Now celebrating its 47th anniversary, The Algemeiner has been labeled the "fastest growing Jewish newspaper in the US" and been described by former Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor as “the voice of the Jewish people and Israel. It is fitting that a prestigious and empowering paper hosted an event honoring those with the same qualities advocating for the Jewish people. The just announced 2019 list included Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Sacha Baron Cohen, Julian Edelman, Karlie Kloss and Jared Kushner, Jake Tapper, Lachlan Murdoch. The full list, and a description of why they were chosen, can be found at Algemeiner.com/the-top-100-people-positively-influencing-jewish-life-2019
Editor in Chief and CEO, Dovid Efune, and Publisher Simon Jacobson welcomed guests including Actor Sir Ben Kingsley and U.K. Channel 4 TV star Rachel Riley who were specially honored at The Algemeiner’s at the September 26th gala. Themes of the evening included Efune’s question about how the tragic story of antisemitism ends and how they are determined that it shall never be said that under their watch the beast of antisemitism reawakened and did so unopposed.

Holocaust survivor Halina Silber, number 16 on Oskar Schindler's list, presented Kingsley the newspaper’s illustrious Warrior For Truth award for his 1993 portrayal of Itzhak Stern in the movie, Schindler's List. Riley’s award was presented by Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart, President of the World Jewish Congress Diplomatic Corps. The U.K. star told her story on how just a year ago she thought “antisemitism wasn’t a ‘thing’ anymore” and now, she says it’s one of the probably the biggest honors of her life to be there tonight because of her voice.
CEO of Talent Resources, Michael David Heller, was also honored, receiving the award from dear friend Kelly Bensimon The evening's Master of Ceremonies was CNN journalist Bianna Golodryga. Speakers included Consul General of Israel in New York Ambassador Dani Dayan, David Sterling and Ben Newhouse. Guests included Ira and Ingeborg Rennert, the Mayor of Beverly Hills John A. Mirisch, Sima and Morad Ghadamian, David Steinmann, George Farmer, Joseph and Deborah Aronow, Sam Herzberg, Shalom and Iris Maidenbaum, Gail Propp, Michael and Dana Cohen, Richard Miller, Mark Moskowitz, Ariel and Aleta Grunberg, Michael and Tanya Grunberg, Martin Sanders, Sol and Meri Barer, Jeffrey H. Rosen, Jonathan Holtzman, Ron Agam, James Taranto, Rickie Freeman, Buck Sexton, Dominic Green, Marty Peretz, Jere Van Dyk, Sir Clive Gillinson, Tuvia Tenenbom, Tunku Varadarajan, and Erwin Pearl. Event Chairs were Robert H. and Amy Book, and Neil and Sharon Book. Honorary Chairman was Bernard-Henri Levy.
Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the Gotham Hall balcony overlooking the main ballroom. The rest of the evening was spent watching the ceremony from tables and served a plated dinner.

The Brooklyn Black Tie Ball
On October 3rd, 2019, more than 700 guests assembled at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 2 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the park’s free public programming. The fundraiser event was hosted by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy whose relentless commitment ensures that the park remains a vibrant community space for all New Yorkers.
Celebrating the Conservancy’s achievements and their generous supporters, the event was more than just a formal get-together, but rather, an opportunity to celebrate the park and its mission. Upon entry, guests were invited to take pictures at a beautiful red-carpet set up in front of the beautiful scenery of the Brooklyn Bridge.

While this year also marked the first year of unfortunate weather circumstances, none of the guests seem to be deterred by the rain. Many originally raincoat-covered attendees even soon revealed themselves as known celebrities. These included English-American actor Paul Bettany (Avengers), and Academy-Award winning actress Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind), as well as actress Jemima Kirke (Girls) and Broadway actress Keri Russell.

But the true focus of the event was the two women whose commitment and passion largely contributed to the existence of the park: Mary Anne Gilmartin, Real Estate Developer and former CEO of Forest City Ratner, and Alicia Glen, former New York City Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development. Both of them were instrumental in building and/or designing the park as a space enjoyed by more than 130,000 individuals in 2019 alone. In fact, if you’ve lived in New York for some time, it is almost impossible not to come across the various events hosted by the Conservancy.

Examples of the over 500 free and low-cost events range from the accessible basketball courts, yoga, and meditation classes in the park to the free public movie screenings that transform the park into an oasis of recreation and excitement every summer. Accordingly, the event was set out to raise funds with an elaborate auction and ticket sales to facilitate the continuation of these programs. And it proved successful: Over 1.32 million dollars were raised in funds and will directly benefit the park’s programming.

This mission was also captured and elaborated on by NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio and New York State Senator Chuck Schumer who emphasized their general and personal admiration for the park. Schumer, who, as a true “Brooklynite” frequently enjoys riding his bike through the park, specifically described the park as a “public resource” that continues to bring families and people together in a public setting.

After the initial entry, attendees were then led into the beautiful dinner space at the edge of the Pier. Warm lighting and aesthetically pleasing table decorations underneath the large and comfortably protective tent created a beautiful and inviting atmosphere.

Guests were also provided with various culinary pleasantries that displayed the organization’s commitment to sustainability, with food from Cascun Farm of Greene, New York, a business that prides itself on their selection of naturally grown and organic foods. The starter, a beautiful symphony of chicories and brie was followed by a delicious roasted chicken breast on Rosemary-Maple Jus. Throughout the night, the attentive service staff furthermore ensured that guests didn’t even have to make the short trip to the open bar but were provided with any drinks right at the table. This service was also extended to the after-party which brought most guests to the dance floor and transformed the fundraiser into a vibrant party.

In conclusion, the Conservancy hosted a beautiful and surprisingly fun and casual event that was well rewarded with the generous funds that were raised through and throughout the night.

Areppas NYC
We aren’t Texas or California, but New York can still hold its head up when it comes to Hispanic food. I mean, we have not one, but two all night eateries devoted solely to empanadas, a secret taco joint in Chelsea Market, and, more importantly, the best tres leches cake on the East Coast (don’t fight me on this). But now, we have another classic hispanic dish to add to our repertoire -- with the opening of Areppas , the Venezuelan Arepa is coming to take NYC by storm.
Prior to visiting Areppas, my only experience with arepas were the ones you get from the street fairs -- you know, the sweet corn and mozzarella treats the vendors griddle up right in front of you. I had never known arepas could be anything but cheese filled -- I suppose I just love cheese too much to think that I could be having other fillings too! But thankfully, after my recent visit to Areppas, my eyes have been opened. With five signature arepa combinations that include pulled pork, de mano cheese, avocado, and short rib -- as well as the option to make your own, Areppas has plenty of options to choose from, and although the arepas may look tiny, they’re definitely way more filling than you’d expect.
But if you’re not into arepas (don’t know why you wouldn’t be, but whatever), Areppas has plenty of other dishes on their menu. I’m talking cachapas, empanadas, rice bowls, vegan bowls, and even churros. Oh, and did I mention the cheese stuffed tequenos?
There’s something even more amazing about Areppas than the food, however: its altruism. With every purchase of an arepa, Areppas, in partnership with the Friends of Fe y Alegría foundation, provides a meal for a child in Latin America -- and since the opening of Areppas in September 2018, the restaurant has provided more than 92,000 meals for need children. If that’s not a reason to go over there and try some of the food, I don’t know what is.
Feel free to drool over Areppas’ arepas by browsing through their instagram, @areppas, or just go ahead and visit them at either Gramercy at 115 East 23rd Street, or at their flagship at 954 3rd Avenue.
Pizza Coast to Coast at BigA
“Contemporary pizza with an Italian heart and an American mind”
When it comes to eating pizza in New York City, the options for urbanites are overwhelmingly endless. But few may realise how the gastronomic experience of pizza is changing into one which considers both palate and nutritional value.
Pizza Coast to Coast demonstrated, at BigA pizzeria in the Lower East Side, the concept of ‘dynamic pizza.’ This is a ground-breaking new way of crafting pizza in which the flour miller and chef work in tandem to produce true contemporary pizza that values quality, nutrition, and taste. Chef Crystian Dangelo from Terún in California and Chef Giovanni Barberi from BigA in NYC converged their expertise, gained from training at Italy’s elite teaching facility Università della Pizza, to craft two fundamental traditional pizza models using flour from Petra’s Molino Quaglia. The ability to form dough of varied textures and the distinguishability of each ingredient in the pizzas was due to Petra’s different combinations of grains and the use of type 0 flour. Additionally, her flour is produced through a unique process known as augmented stone milling that combines stone grinding with cylinder grinding to produce flour that is both flavorful and nutritious. The final products of this collaboration between innovative chef and miller were distinct yet equally delectable pizzas.
Conducted by the rules of the ‘Manifesto of Italian Contemporary Pizza’ Chefs Dangelo and Barberi proudly prepared a series of pizzas for tasting, in a kitchen open to observation from the guests of the restaurant. Barberi prepared pizza Napoletana with a round base style dough that was thin, soft and elastic. Dangelo’s pizzas were en palla alla romana, textured thick and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside due to the blend of whole wheat and type 0 flour. All pizzas were topped with carefully combined fresh and seasonal ingredients.
To complement the lightness of the pizzas, platters were paired with refreshing Italian beer from Birra del Borgo.
To include your taste in the evolving gastronomy of pizza be sure to visit BigA pizzeria at 1 Clinton St, New York, NY 10002.
NY True World Foods Expo: Beyond a Culinary Experience
I love food, and I love cooking. This is why it is VERY important to me to have access to high-quality products. I want the organic, and the finest. It is really the secret of a good dish. But here in NYC, it’s not always easy to have access to the best, which made me always wonder: Where do NYC’s 5-star-restararants get their ingredients from? The city heard me and answered my question with this month’s NY True World Foods Expo. It is an exciting professional culinary showcase that highlights wholesalers’ top quality fish and seafoods sources, both domestically and internationally.
This year, the exposition mainly specialized in sushi ingredients, while also exhibiting exotic and never-seen-before products. I wasn’t going to miss that. So, I went to the Metropolitan Avenue where the event was taking place: The room was huge, and full of stands, fish meat, live sea animals, foreign vegetables, and professional knives. There were vendors from the Williams Wharf Oyster company, the Japanese, Sugimoto Tea Company, and the Ichimasa Kamaboko Co. (that specializes in different samurai ramen and Kaisen Sara Udon), the event included a diversity of international brands that were offering food samples. I had a taste of the best, and tried never-experienced before flavors: a melty caviar from Calvisius USA’s, and tender meat from Pocino Foods Co (which imports its products straight from Australia and Japan).
The food was thrilling (of course), but it wasn’t the main reason why I LOVED the event. The True World Foods Expo was more of a learning-experience. For instance, it included impressive, never-seen before shows: The small sushi rolls that we eat come from a HUGE fish, with a head bigger than humans’. In the time that I’ve spent there, I saw a live King Crab and Spot Prawns, as well as a live cutting show of a Japanese and Spanish Bluefin tunas.
But the main reason why I absolutely loved it, was that this whole exposition was much more than a culinary experience. It was a cultural experience. Guy Fieri says it best: “Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that realy has the power to bring everyone together. no matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat”. This is exactly what I felt at the exposition, as I was walking between the stand, and enjoying EVERY bite I had (from ramen, to poke, sushi rolls, miso soup, matcha dessert, red-bean icecream..). Then, I saw something unusual, sitting in a jar of water. I approached the stand and asked the woman what it was. It turned out to be wasabi, the actual plant. It looks like a big, green root, and tastes nothing like the wasabi paste. I have been eating fake wasabi my entire life, and I didn’t even know it. I was shocked to this discovery, and even stunned to how it tastes. It has the same texture and freshness as a radish, and is (way) less spicy than the wasabi paste. It is really delicious!
I was enjoying my time so much, that I stayed till the end of the event, when stands were clearing out their displays. The room was getting empty, and I was getting myself ready to leave. But as I was heading towards the exit, a kind gentleman asked me if I wanted to take one of his products homes. My inner chef was super happy. I thanked him, and I picked the wild mushrooms. That night, I went back home excited, knowing what to cook for dinner. “I’m definitely coming back next year,” I thought to myself, as I shut the door behind me.
Beyond Sushi, Beyond Delicious.
One should have a certain amount of confidence to call a restaurant “Beyond Sushi” and not serve fish. However, are you familiar with the real definition of sushi? In fact, “sushi” comes from a Japanese word meaning "sour rice," and it's the rice that's at the heart of sushi, not the traditional fish that comes to mind.
So, forget the fish - there’s none at this sushi spot. If you’re here for your standard California Roll, then this might not be the right place for you.
A restaurant in the heart of Manhattan that is casual enough to enjoy great food, cocktails and a nice conversation; and where the rolls, wraps, and sashimi are all inventive and delicious vegetable-based combinations.
Founded by renowned chef Guy Vaknin and his wife, Tali, Beyond Sushi offers an assortment of distinctive sushi rolls and standout seasonal signature dishes.
Beyond Sushi is unique in a way that it reinvents traditional sushi using fresh, local, all-vegan ingredients to come up with colorful, beautifully crafted rolls. In lieu of fish, this all-vegan New York City chain uses both standard and inventive alternatives, like avocado, mango, sweet potato, portabella mushrooms, and asparagus. And, with healthy dining as a key feature, Beyond Sushi replaces white rice with six-grain and black rice.
Pick up the menu and what will immediately jump out are the jarringly colorful rolls.
The Spicy Mango Roll is hands down the best thing here. It comes packed with avocado, slices of mango, and cucumber, and is topped with a spicy vegetable mush. I will make sure to come back for some more funky fishless sushi rolls.
In addition to that, we had the Chipotle Seitan Skewers, the Portabella Carpaccio and the Mighty Mushroom.
We also tried a new Fall 2019 dish created by the chef. The Impossible Kebabs with campfire potatoes, torched broccoli, ground mustard seed, harissa and pan roasted pine nuts tastes impossibly like Kebab! Another main dish we had is the Black Garlic Ravioli, made with kale, baby bella, crispy capers, smoked “gouda”,lemon velouté and chili oil; and it was, as you can guess, absolutely delicious!
Now, let’s talk about the desert.
Vegan cake? Vegan ice cream? Or even better, Vegan cinnamon rolls? Never thought there were so many diversities for Vegans. I can say this restaurant has an approach that makes vegans happy but with a much broader appeal.
The restaurant has locations in Union Square, Chelsea Market, FiDi, Nolita, W. 56th Street and W. 37th Street. Beyond Sushi strives to popularize a modern approach to vegan cuisine by crafting intricate and wholesome dishes that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate.
Ainslie: Wine Bar, Beer Garden, and Italian Food
Here I was lost again in this huge city. This time, I was in Williamsburg finding my way on Google Maps, sometimes staring up at the beautiful graffiti, and other times observing the modern buildings of the hipster area. I was searching for Ainslie: a loom-factory turned into a 10,000 square foot Italian restaurant. It just opened and I had to try it, but I couldn't find it. So, I walked and walked, zoomed my screen in and out, until I finally saw it. It looks so distinct than anything else in the area. There really was no need for Google Maps.
The red-lit, wooden exterior is hard not to notice, especially amongst the concrete buildings surrounding it. And from the inside, Ainslie is even more intriguing. Simply put: It looks like a warehouse, filled with plants, bars and chandeliers. It also has red lights that contrast the wooden interior’s greenery. Weird? Yes. Pretty? HELL YES! As I was walking in, I was pleasantly surprised with small, hidden decor that added charm to the place like a hidden beer garden, stacked empty wine bottles, wooden mezzanines... It feels like a huge, elegant, tree-house in the heart of Williamsburg. And being surrounded by skylights the entire time in this city, I was so happy to feel like I'm in nature (minus the bugs).
As I was exploring the place, a staircase guided me towards the second-floor of the multi-level restaurant. There was a cozy and chic mezzanine waiting for me at the end of the stairs. The ambiance was similar to the rest of the place. And in the center of the room, there was a big buffet, full of Italian deliciousness. BELLISSIMA! Ainslie’s kitchen is helmed by NYC Veteran Chef John DeLucie, as well as Erasmo ‘Mino” Lassandro, who hails from Italy and mans the restaurant’s wood fired oven for the exquisite pizza. From fresh ravioli, to chicken parmigiana, and the Ainslie Burger (Gorgonzola Dolce served on a brioche bun), all of the food looks elegant and is eye-pleasing. The star-dish of the night was definitely the pizza. The woody taste of the dough and the quality of the cheese is just perfecto! The other MVP of the night were undoubtedly Ainslie’s signature cocktails from Jessica Dure. I tried the “Funky Sweet Thing” that bursts in the mouth with honey, and lavender flavors. I also had the “Fall Like Confetti”, and indeed I fell. I fell in love with the sweet-and-sour taste of that refreshing drink. I could feel the confetti in my stomach.
Then, it was time for dessert. It started with Italian sorbets that waiters were offering in small cups. The quality of the passionfruit and vanilla ice-creams were so savory that it felt like I was biting right from the fruit itself. But that wasn’t the dessert. As I was still enjoying my ice-cream, I suddenly see cameras pointing to the opposite side of the room, and saw what the fuss was all about. A man carrying a huge wooden tray on his shoulder, that was full of fresh-out-of-the-oven Nutella calzones. After placing them on the table, the man cut it in front of the guests and everyone was mouth-watering in front of the dripping hot chocolate. I got a piece, sat in my chair, and tried it. It was just what I needed to conclude my night: sweet, but not heavy. Dinner was over but I didn’t want to leave.
I felt so comfortable in the cozy restaurant that I hung there a little to wander around. I decided to go up the stairs to check what was behind the upper-level door. I opened, and it turned out that this huge place was also hiding a rooftop bar! It is cozy, illuminated, and filled with seats. Just what guests need for a breath of fresh air. I went down again to walk amongst the shiny chandeliers and vibrant greeneries, but it was time for me to leave. I walked toward the exit, unlocked my phone, but something caught my eye. There was a vintage typing machine on a random shelf. “Another surprise,” I thought to myself before closing the door behind me, and Google-mapping my way back home.
