He was once chef de cuisine at Michael Schwartz’s Harry’s Pizzeria in the Design District. It may seem odd to find him all the way […]
Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 when a guy from Buffalo, New York traveled to Ohio to judge an amateur figure skating competition and failed to find any wings that measured up to the ones at home. Now B-Dubs, as it likes to call itself, has spread to nearly every state in the U.S. […]
The Spanish gastrobar Bulla (pronounced boo-yah) is younger, cooler, and better than ever. At the freestanding marble bar under the mahogany marquee, it’s always time for a drink.

There are, of course, Americanized Chinese dishes available, so you can still find honey garlic chicken and beef with broccoli on a printed menu. It would be a shame to visit Canton Palace and […]
Though Casa Larios’ claim to celebrity fame is that Gloria Estefan launched her career here, the real draws are the close-to-homemade Cuban staples. Dishes include ample servings of fried pork, roast chicken, and rice and beans. The moist, sweet plantains are actually better than many an abuelita’s home cooking. (But don’t tell her!) Regulars like […]

Most of the dishes at Casa Paco are as reasonably priced as they are delicious. Examples are the paella – chicken and rice or rice with seafood – and special house chicken, a tender half-boneless grilled bird smothered with onions, lime juice, butter, and pepper served with white rice and fried sweet plantains.

Many nautically themed seafood restaurants exist, but they usually serve subpar fare. It’s almost as if the kitsch is intended to lull patrons into a fall sense of security.
