After living in NYC for over a decade, I've made it a hobby to enjoy many different types of restaurants. New York City is a small city (as far as size goes), but in the small city it sure has many options. In this guide, I'll share with you some of my favorite places to eat and enjoy a night out. One of the best sushi places, is Sushi of Gari. They have a location on the Upper East Side and one midtown west, located near the theaters. The sushi is extremely creative and the fish is as fresh as it gets. If you're looking for Italian food, I'll give you a few cheaper options, since Gari's definitely not cheap. Bar Pitti is a real tasty treat. It does not take reservations, so expect to[..]

In this harsh economic climate, anyone brave enough to open a new business deserves congratulations. It's not easy to build a successful restaurant from scratch. If you succeed, you can expect to work many long hours and lose plenty of sleep. However, these aren't the only reasons to reconsider... If you are thinking about starting your own restaurant, you need to read this article before committing to anything! Reasons not to start your own restaurant: - The expense: Starting a restaurant of your own is a huge expense.

During these many years (25+) in the restaurant industry I've been asked, on occasion, for advice or direction regarding opening and owing a restaurant. I respond first by asking some basic questions about the individuals themselves. Once I've determined (in my opinion) with whom I'm speaking I use the next few minutes trying to talk them out of it altogether. Even if I'm impressed with their potential, the routine remains the same as I try to cover as many of the "Not To" reasons as I remember. It might be well to note here that I'm speaking to those with more dreams and desire than those with deep pockets. If you've got money to burn go for it. The Top Three are easy because they are a[..]

Many new restaurant owners put their hard earned money (or more likely the money of their friends, neighbors and relatives), and a great idea of time into re-decorating. I will never forget the seemingly endless spent re-finishing a bar top in the first place I owned. It was beautiful! Birds-eye maple. Several coats of varnish made it look like glass and, after many days of curing, you could slide a pint glass the entire length with a gentle push. A bar owner friend came by just before we opened and commented on how much he admired the bar top. Then he said "But, if you do the business you hope for it'll be covered with elbows and glassware". He was absolutely right. The old bar[..]

Boston has its share of historic taverns, Irish pubs, and popular sports bars...but McGreevy's 3rd Base Saloon, a popular Boston bar near Fenway Park, manages to fit into all three categories at once. How? To answer that question, we need to look back to more than a hundred years ago when baseball fanatic Michael "Nuf Ced" McGreevy decided to open a saloon in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood in 1894. Soon, his saloon became a popular watering hole where like-minded fans, politicians, and ball players could gather for drink and sports talk. Nuf decorated his place by putting pictures of the local team and other memorabilia on the walls and crafting light fixtures from old bats - America's[..]

I'm not a snob when it comes to food, so when I was asked by my editor to review everything authentic I could find in Puerto Rico, I had no problem saying yes. I was there for almost three months, and I found some really interesting finds in the mix. What I found most interesting was how much I missed American levels of service and the really unique finds like the Red and Green Steakhouse in Atlanta. I had read a pretty interesting article about Brazilian Steakhouses that said there are only four good ones outside of Brazil. To my coincidental surprise, the article said that one of the best in the world is a Brazilian Steakhouse in Atlanta. My heart dropped, my mouth moistened, and even[..]

Looking for a good Japanese restaurant? I forgot the date but somewhere last year my wife and I together with our Thai friend Pichai went to this Japanese restaurant in Pacific Square Mabolo. It was a great night and lots of food on the table. Low on carbo and more on protein, wow! It is an eat-all-you-can dinner where you order either raw or ready to eat food. We ordered both of course. We had beef, a lot of pork, shrimps, vegetables(sure?), heart, liver and a lot more. I mean a lot lot more! Php 500+ fee for each person and you should eat a LOT!
