You may remember A-Tooch’s obsession when she discovered the Choice Eats event last year. It’s baaaaack. The happiness was bittersweet this year, when I thought I was going to be in Florida during the date of the event (yay for sunshine, boo for missing it). Since I recently found out I’ll be in town, I […]

NYC Restaurant Reviews – Empellon, Craftbar and Cavatappo
A-Tooch has had a few interesting foodie jaunts recently, worthy of sharing with those of you who are also exploring the NYC restaurant scene. I was excited to spend New Year’s Eve at Empellon in the West Village. The new restaurant lived up to expectations, cooking a variety of flavors and dishes even for the […]

Summer Cocktails and a Top Notch Brunch – NYC
Recently, A-Tooch had a brunch worth sharing accompanied by a brunchie drink even more worthy. Behold, the Bloody Rosemary: Infused with rosemary and garnished with a rosemary sprig! I checked out brunch at Five Points at the suggestion of a foodie friend. She was spot on with this reco. We made reservations as this is […]
