November 2, 2015 Plaza Food Hall

While walking around we happened upon the Plaza Food Hall. The hall opened in 2010 with Todd English’s as the anchor. It has since added on to become 32,000 sq. ft of deliciousness. The shops are carefully curated. Some well know favorites and some new names pop up in the list. We started out our […]

October 31, 2015 Herb N Kitchen

The Hilton in Midtown is conveniently located and has a great dining space to boot. Just outside the restaurant, there is a convenient market of sorts where you can get breakfast to go or a late night snack (they’re open until 1am). They offer healthy options as well as things to cheat with! The restaurant […]

October 30, 2015 Cru Oyster Bar

I’m so backed up with blog posts it’s sad. This summer we took a day trip over to Nantucket – our first stop after getting off the ferry was Cru Oyster Bar (it’s right next to the dock). You have a great view of all the boats coming and going – we couldn’t have asked […]

October 29, 2015 Gotham West Market

Following up from my previous post, I had mentioned that I had seen list in Zagat for the best food halls in NY. We already went to City Kitchen, next stop was Gotham West Market. A little out of the way if you aren’t in the area (Hell’s Kitchen), but we happened to be coming […]

October 24, 2015 Cottage Street Bakery

Tucked away and nestled behind some cute shops, Cottage Street Bakery serves up some delicious baked goods. There is an adorable courtyard to sit and relax, enjoy your treats – away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. We arrive a little after lunch time, so they are out of a bunch of […]

October 7, 2015 Brooklyn Flea

Whenever I am in New York I loved to go to the Brooklyn Flea. Not only do they have fun finds but they always have great food. This time we tried some new places. Lonestar empire was our first stop – their slow cooked Texas style brisket looked too good to pass up. It was […]

October 6, 2015 Burger Heaven

We arrived in the city late and needed a place to eat close to the hotel. We were tired and looking for something casual and decided on burger heaven. They close on the early side, at 7:30pm. We were the only ones there.  There’s ample counter seating in the front of the restaurant and tables […]

September 16, 2015 Lizzmonade

Lizzmonade is located at Pier 1, under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO. When we got off the water taxi, we were looking for place to get a cold drink. A classic lemonade is $4.50 and add-ins are an additional fifty cents. In addition to lemonade, they offer coffee, tea, and sorbet.< a href=”http://www.dgrubs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_2259.jpg”> We went […]

September 11, 2015 A Tour of the Blackstone Valley

Who knew that the Blackstone Valley, just an hour a away from Boston, had so much history? Not me obviously. In addition to all the historic sites, they have a lovely vineyard, Diamond Hill, that offers tastings all year round! The Blackstone Valley is also home to the Stadium Theatre that offers education programs for students, McCoy Stadium […]

August 30, 2015 Train Rides in the Blackstone Valley

I just went on a tour of the Blackstone Valley this weekend – you couldn’t have asked for better weather! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Blackstone Valley area, the Blackstone river is 46 miles long and runs from Worcester to Providence. Samuel Slater engineered the first water powered cotton spinning mill in 1790 […]
