In part two, we continue with the “best of”…in our humble opinions. Here are A-Tooch’s NYC favs. Chow on, friends! Manhattan favs according to A-Tooch: For Indian food: Bhatti The food in Curry Hill (aka Murray Hill) tops that of Curry Row (E. 6th St.) and Bhatti is the best. So is their lunch deal. […]

Bridal Shower at Artisanal Cheese Center
You may have noticed that TFAW are very wedding busy lately — one of us is getting married and the other is a guest at six weddings this year. Yup. Crazy. Us cheese fiends pick like-minded people for friends. I was excited to celebrate my friend C at her bridal shower wine/cheese tasting class at […]
Choice Eats 2013
It’s becoming the best annual foodie tradition for A-Tooch (see 2012 and 2011): the return of Village Voice’s Choice Eats. Two big themes I noticed this year: Brooklyn and meat. Lots of it.

At Rosa Mexico, A-Tooch went out on a […]

If you’re like TFAW, you’ve noticed the crazy proliferation of froyo spots popping up across cities everywhere. In just a three-block radius of her apartment, A-Tooch has a whopping four froyo spots — including the popular Pinkberry and Tasti-D-Lite. I don’t mind, since froyo makes me happy. Especially the DIY froyo bars like Tutti Frutti […]
Panera in NYC
After all of A-Tooch’s angry tweets about their lack of locations in her neighborhood, the day has finally come — Panera’s long awaited entry into NYC. I was sent a gift card to grab a meal there, but really I needed no incentive. I would have walked the length of Manhattan for some Panera. (Yes, […]
