There is nothing quite as comforting as waking up on a lazy Saturday morning and having the perfect, leisurely weekend brunch. But if the standard pancakes and eggs don’t whet your appetite, or if, with the freshness of spring in the air, the thought of thick sugary syrup is too much to bear, then try [...]

This week, keep an eye out for Kosher for Passover Coca Cola. It sounds weird, but K for P coke isn’t just for observant Jews. K for P Coke is made with sucrose instead of high fructose corn syrup?an ingredient not Kosher for Passover (corn). Because of the restriction on corn syrup, the Kosher coke [...]

It’s a shame that small plates are a trend?because it means that at some point, they will be out. However, so often, all one needs is a small taste of a dish?or a few dishes. This was the case last week after a show I’d seen with a friend of mine. We were a little [...]

Fiji water, Evian, Metro Mint, Vitamin Water…New Yorkers have a lot of choices when it comes to drinking water. And most of the time, we can all be caught holding one of these bottles. Not that there’s anything wrong with those bottles, but New York City also has some of the finest tap water around. [...]

Mango, Pear Caramel, Strawberry Banana, Kiwi, and Blueberry Raspberry are all made of just that plus the addition of an apple or banana. There is absolutely no added sugar or preservatives. The special packaging—like a [...]

The Dish sat down with New York Post food writer Andrea Strong last week to hear the inside scoop on what to do to start a successful restaurant, her favorite restaurant, and where to find a great recipe for Sicilian meatballs. Dish: You write The Strong Buzz, food features for the Post each week, have [...]

The Alessi store on Greene Street opened six months ago not only with it’s usual affordably and cleverly designed house wares, but also, with a built it JOE kiosk. Shoppers salivating over smartly thought-out teapots can sip on a cup themselves as they peruse. As you sip your elixir, don’t miss The Chin Family Kitchen [...]

While my friends got Fruit by the Foot packed into their lunch boxes in grade school, my parents insisted on forcing the less-sugary, less cool fruit leathers into my brown bag. Kids and parents alike no longer need to fight over a fruity lunchtime sweet treat. FruitaBüs are all organic “smoooshed™ fruit” that come in [...]
