Sweetchick is the Burg’s latest addition to the variety of restaurants on Bedford Avenue, offering up fried chicken & waffles, among other treats.  Their doors opened up this past Tuesday, February 19th.  I was able to get in last night to try out their fixins, and I thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant’s eats and environment, which fits in […]

If, based on the unexceptional façade, you commit the error of relegating Allswell to the limbo inhabited by mediocre restaurants with nondescript exteriors, my recommendation is not to be fooled by appearances and step inside the joint before making final judgment.  After all, Allswell is, in my opinion, one of the […]

On the corner of North 10th Street and Driggs Avenue, Fushimi – the most recent incarnation in the ceaseless cycle of opening restaurant/lounges in Bloomburg – is being hastily erected.  Never one to rain on somebody else’s parade, I typically exhibit nothing but enthusiasm at the prospect of discovering an unspoiled […]
