Rated best deli of 2010 by New York Magazine (and a bazillion other food sources), Mile End Delicatessen is run by Noah Bernamoff, a Canadian- Brooklyn transplant with a penchant for seriously seasoned meats. Our friends over at Jewcy.com interviewed Noah, who dropped out of law school to stuff smoked brisket into mushy onion rolls.

You dropped out of law school to open Mile End?  Is your mother worried?

Lunching and Shopping at Grand Central Market

REVIEW

March 11, 2010


CUISINE: American (New), Desserts & Bakeries, Italian
NEIGHBORHOOD: Midtown

 

A couple of weeks ago YAH was invited to go sampling in the Grand Central Market. Having grown up in Bedford, NY, Frankie's the only one in the gang who's familiar with Grand Central. Madeline and Rachel are from California, and when Seth and I want to visit the family in Philadelphia, we're stuck with Penn Station, the food options of which are limited to Famous Amos cookies at the news stand, or a full blown wings-and-fries dinner at TGI Fridays.  I knew that Grand Central had some decent grub, but I didn't realize the extent of their culinary prowess. Forget getting a train; let's get some lunch.

 

Below: A rundown of the day's edibles, plus a video of YAH talking to Murray's Cheese, interviewing Mr. Zaro of Zaro's Bread, and sampling $100 per lb. proscuitto.

Celebrating with Meyer Lemon Souffles

RECIPE

March 5, 2010


 

 

My friend Kelly got into law school, and I wanted to congratulate her — with dessert.  I have a secret: I’ve never made soufflé before.   I had heard so many stories about fallen soufflés that they intimidated me, but Martha Stewart’s recipe made them seem easy.  Before I knew it, I was in my kitchen separating egg yolks.

 

Though my version didn’t turn out to be a picture-perfect replica of Martha’s, they still tasted sublime: custardy, but with a lemony sugar-bite.  The original recipe called for regular lemons, but I substituted with Meyer’s because they’re in season and deliciously sweet, i.e. perfect for a celebratory dessert.

 

Meyer Lemon Soufflés

Makes 6


2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, room temperature, for dishes

treasure hunt! your guide to the 2010 armory show

PICKS

March 4, 2010


At the Armory, one should neither idle nor arrive underdressed.  I can't help you with your wardrobe (the winter-to-spring shift is so awkward), but this image treasure hunt should get you out of there before you've realized that the art market has no mercy and that art can't love you back. 

 

P.S. Apologies for ignoring Pier 92!

The listings that follow go North to South, West to East.
