"Brown butter almond brittle. Do it."

"Behold! A nail salon in the neighborhood. Clean, new and friendly, the Essie range is extensive and the massage is great. I'll be back."

"Terrible dining experience on NYE. No champagne flutes and a 40-min wait to order. Then waiter gets up and SINGS while we're still waiting for food. Cue entire restaurant staring awkwardly at floor."

"We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly forgotten about. A ton of walk-ins were seated before us and after 30 mins they finally remembered us. The mushroom omelet was delicious, though."

"Giant pork buns, the best I've had in the city so far. Yum."

"The Tagliatelle ragu is delicious. My favorite pasta dish in NYC so far, it's like a big, homely hug from your Italian friend's grandmother."
