Long Story Short: Holy crap – the BEST egg sandwich I have had in a very very long time… And the bloody wasn’t too shabby either.  A little pricey (bloody is $9.50), not in the hood, but well worth the trip. wow.

Long Story Long:

Who but the notorious Girlfriend Jones could get my ass to the city for brunch on the weekend?  I consented only when he promised it would be amazing.  And he delivered.  Oh man, did he deliver.

That being said,  it is a very bold move to name your restaurant with such a positive name.  Fortunately, in this case, they are right.  Actually, they should have called it FUCKING FANTASTIC. Read the rest of this entry »

Long Story Short: Yeah, yeah, yeah – it’s not in Williamsburg, but it doesn’t matter.  Food was only ok, and very, very pricey.  In spite of the fact that I had a lovely time here due to the company I was with (and the waitress was super nice too), it was definitely not good bang for the buck.  Stay local, people.

Long Story Long:

There are very few things that will get my ass onto the L train and across the East River to the mainland on a Sunday morning- er, early afternoon, that is – after a pretty crazy night out.  In this case, it was work-related (brunch followed by a meeting in Soho west), so I dragged myself to the subway, and into the far reaches of the west village to meet some friends slash coworkers – namely, Booknerd, Tiny Dancer, UBL & of course, the infamous Girlfriend Jones.

Long Story Short: Holy shit – this place is like my dream come true. Amazing homemade bloodys, an artisanal bacon bar… A little pricey, but I would GLADLY shell out another $9 for that bloody. Good lord… 

Long Story Long: 

Ok yes – this is not technically a road trip, I know…. but as it falls outside of the confines of the burg, and I went there on a weekday, let’s call it one. 

So I was having kind of a shitty week when my BFFF suggested that we have lunch to celebrate the end of it.  Since it was practically the weekend and I sort of had the afternoon off, we decided to finally try this place.  I met her there and she had a huge smile on her face having just heard the rundown of signature cocktails.  She had already ordered me a bloody, explaining that the mix was homemade from fresh tomatoes and reportedly incredible.  This was no overstatement.  I honestly may be ruined for life – it was fantastic, and immediately lifted my spirits.  The second one lifted them even further….
