CUISINE: American (New)
NEIGHBORHOOD: Williamsburg

110 Bedford St. between 11th and 12th
(p) 718-301-1002
The Bedford, located in the old Sound Fix HQ, is throwing its hat in the ring to contend with Williamsburg’s ‘new American’ heavy hitters, such as Marlow & Sons and Rye. Guess what? Their ingredients are local, their would-be patrons are stylish in that nostalgia-for-another-era fashion, and their interior is oaky and candlelit. What’s wrong with hopping on a bandwagon if said bandwagon is proving to be a hot ticket? You shouldn’t need one more reason to leave Manhattan for better shores, says this Brooklyn loyalist. CONT'D

I’m back from hiatus after a dinner at Café Boulud — because there’s nothing like some white tablecloths to get a girl in the mood…for food writing.
A word to our gentleman readers: do not take a girl here on a date. Unless you are already retired, have taken to wearing sweater vests, and your lady friend has helmet hair and a Chanel purse that debuted in 1986, you will feel out of place.
A word to our foodie readers: If you like good food — the type where things come in towers and there are elaborate swirls of sauce spiraling outwards from a pristinely-plated dish — Boulud’s is where it’s at. But you already knew that.

A menu honoring the meatball where nothing exceeds $9? Yes and yes. It took us a while to brave the lines at Meatball Shop; the average wait is two hours and an inside source confirmed that two hours is actually the maximum time sentence the hosts are allowed to assign, meaning its often longer than that. Wowza. CONT'D

Top Chef Season one winner Harold Dieterle put his 100k prize money to good use when he opened Perilla in May of 2007. If you haven't heard much about the place it's probably because the restaurant attracts an older crowd with starchy shirts. It's just not that "cool." But if you're into good food, good wine, and good service, you've come to the right spot. CONT'D

Clover Club is underselling itself. You may think it's just another Brooklyn haven for the whiskey and gin obsessed, manned by mixologists wearing tuxedo vests or suspenders, but it's so much more. Neighborhood fans admire the seriously killer cocktails, like the Improved Whiskey Cocktail (rye whiskey, maraschino, absinthe, bitters) and the Little Bird (gin, muddled kiwi, aperol, lime, and bordeaux blank). What really impressed me, on my second visit, was the grub. The menu is compact — a short list of "Savory Bites" — but each dish was packed with flavor and personality.(CON'T)

About Us
We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food. For detailed, personal information, keep reading.
