Oldie but Goodie

The last time I was at B Bar, one of the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy came out of the bathroom stall next to me. ( that was circa 2004) I'm always in the neighborhood but tend to forget about this place. Not sure what the night life is like at B Bar anymore but I was there Sunday afternoon for brunch. The bloody marys were flowing and the sun was shinning. It was a great way to end the weekend!

Wine on the High Line!

Met up with an old fling at Terroir in the East Village. Food is great but I don' t love the ambiance here. The place is really small  with one long communal table set right smack in the middle of  the room. All I could focus on was what was going on with the date to the left of me and to the right of me.
However, this bar is worth mentioning because they have a stand at the High Line.  Its located near the 15th Street entrance.Wine + High Line = Summer Bliss!

Tapas

Spent the day with Amanda doing what we do best... eating and drinking. We indulged in  delicious tapas and a pitcher of white pomegranate berry sangria at Las Ramblas. Make sure to check the chalkboard for daily specials.

* The restaurant gets crowded and doesn't take reservations.*

Street Food

Now that the weather is changing, food trucks are the best way to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the sunshine. I can't think of anything better than sitting at a park, enjoying great food with great company. For something new and innovative, follow my friends at Miami Food Machine.

Bar Veloce

If I were to  open a wine bar, I would probably model it after Bar Veloce. Who doesn't love a bar that plays clips of old foreign films, has a great list of paninis on the menu and a bartender with a killer mustache? (*disclaimer* bartender isn't a hipster, he's what hipsters wish they could be )
The  pictures I have posted are of the East Village location, It  was expanded and remodeled last year. I prefer the Chelsea location. It's a bit smaller and cozier. There's a new location opening in the West Village on Houston Street.
