An oyster is a work of art. You don’t need more evidence. Nor would you turn away from more evidence. Because of Upholstery Store: Food and Wine, a West Village charmer for quiet wine-drinkings and oyster-havings, and the best restaurant with a colon in the name you’ll hear about all day. It’s opening tomorrow in an old furniture store along
Food Bowling Champions Let’s just... look past today. Post-Juno. This Sunday, February 1, it’s pretty likely you’ll be throwing a party for a huge event. We are, of course, talking about Landsegen, a celebration of Germanic neo-paganism. But in case you’re doing something for the Super Bowl instead, here’s what you need delivered or taken out. THE
There’s a time for self-reflection in life. And there’s a time for duck leg confit. Guess which one of those times this is? Monte-Carlo NYC, a completely crush-worthy French spot on the Upper East Side, opens tonight. We’re just going to slideshow this thing so you can get a good look at the charm and the cocktails and the lobster vol-au-vent of it
This week is about veal. We just decided that right this moment. It was either that or “trudging.” Let’s stick with veal and head to Masseria Dei Vini, an Italian-everything dinner date spot tucked away near Columbus Circle. It’s open now. And it comes from: the folks behind Masseria, your Theater District Italian go-to. You’ll use it when: you’ve got a
We realize there haven’t been a whole hell of a lot of times where we’ve given our vegetarian friends the care and love they so richly deserve.

Yes, New York’s finest
We can think of no reason why you wouldn’t be on a date tonight. And why, on that date, you wouldn’t be channeling a combination of Lester Bangs and a world-class sommelier. Because, you know, why would anyone think of a sky-related reason for that not to happen? They damn sure wouldn’t at Fifty Paces, a shelter of wine-having from the good folks
Here’s how it’s going to be at La Contenta, a gem of exquisite Mexican consumables on the LES, opening tomorrow. It starts when you’re in the neighborhood for whatever reason, and you see this really attractive human being. Perhaps you know them. Perhaps not. Whichever, you approach this person with the proposition of a joint meal, possibly including
Quick: what’s round and cheesy, cooked in a wood-burning oven and frequently topped with various meats and vegetables? ... Yeah, you’re right. That was a pretty terrible riddle. Nonetheless, get thee to Pizza Beach, what an Upper East Side pizza place would look like if it were right on a beach and not here, in the middle of February. It’s open now. The
It’s not Hamptons season yet. Not even close. Which forces you to ask yourself, “What is Hamptons season, really, but a forced construct of times and locations where I can enjoy myself by escaping the cold, harsh realities of the canyon-like city I call home, while having the option to sit at an Adirondack-chair angle and wear as much white
We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves. But we think this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. For you. And some lamb. The situation today is Casablanca, your new super-low-key spot for French-Moroccan and lawful smoking, now open in the East Village.
