Like most New Yorkers, I enjoy a good cup of coffee, especially when I’m sitting and writing my reviews for RaysPicksNYC. So, you can understand why I was very pleased to come across a small coffee shop here on the (Lower East Side). I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur when it comes to coffee, but I do know a good cup when I’ve had one and The Lost Weekend NYC coffee shop has plenty and much more.

This neighborhood coffee shop is where locals pack the place (especially on the weekend) with their laptops to take advantage of the Free Wi-Fi offered or just to stop by for a cup of coffee. It has a very homey atmosphere and the barista is friendly and engaging as well.

Lost Weekend NYC serves Blue Bottle coffee beans brewed in a poured over style and the beans are grounded per order to ensure the freshness of each individual’s coffee. It’s time consuming to produce a single cup and one can wait quite awhile, especially during busy surges, but it’s well worth the wait.

When I first had their coffee, I had it with just skim milk. It was so strong that it was almost undrinkable for my taste. But, when I had it with cream it was terrific! The cream seemed to balance out the coffee’s strong roasted taste. The latte’s here are probably the best I’ve had so far in NYC. They have a natural sweetness which is perfectly proportioned with the steamed milk. Cookies or a muffin, which are also served there, compliments the coffee and espresso.

Lost Weekend also serves tea, hand bagged individually at the time of your order. They specifically use Darjeeling, a light tea grown in the Himalayan Mountains. Darjeeling is a comforting and delicious tea that can be had with milk or by itself. So if you are not a big coffee/espresso fan, there is still something you can enjoy here at this café.

Located along Orchard St., Lost Weekend NYC is not your average coffee shop. It’s also an accessory store, gallery, and clothing store. At first glance it seems like another pop up establishment. Its floor to ceiling store front glass windows and wide open space were once used for either a gallery or a boutique. It has an artsy clean interior with white walls that display photography of edgy surfers and a video reel that plays continuously. Unfinished, but smooth concrete flooring is covered with steel pylon in the middle. A couple of wide wooden tables paired with industrial steel stools and a red sofa facing the windows give the place a relaxed feel.

Unlike the novel, The Lost Weekend that depicts five days of drinking binge, there isn’t any alcohol to be had in the place, other than artisanal coffee specially crafted for its patrons. The coffee here can be enjoyed by both connoisseur and regular folks. This is my pick for a coffee shop in the Lower East Side.

Truffles: The Most Expensive Food in the World

(CBS News) European white truffles can sell for as much as $3,600 a pound, making them and their fellow fungi the most expensive food in the world. One two-pound truffle recently sold for more than $300,000. All of which has brought organized crime into the truffle trade, creating a black market and leading to theft of both truffles as well as the highly valued truffle-sniffing dogs. Add to that the influx of the inferior Chinese truffles — masquerading as their European cousins — and you’ve got trouble with truffles. Lesley Stahl reports

Tartinery Nolita

New York City neighborhoods are distinguished by their acronyms, like “FiDi” or the Financial District and “SoHo” or South of Houston. “NoLiTa,” North of Little Italy was once part of Little Italy but with gentrification and the change that it experienced, NoLiTa has became a whole new neighborhood. It’s also home to a modern French Bistro restaurant, Tartinery Nolita. What an irony it is for a French bistro to be located in an area once known almost exclusively for authentic Italian cuisine. Tartinery specializes in tartines, open faced sandwiches or long thinly sliced pieces of bread topped with garnishes and/or a variety of fancy spreads. The restaurant’s name is of course derived from its specialty.

If you’re not paying attention you may miss the restaurant which is located along Mulberry St. It’s a modern store front with a lively crowd that is viewable from the outside. This bi-level restaurant has a modern yet rustic interior with a subdued color palette of black and dark-brown. . Tartinery is divided into 2 sections for guests to dine. Diners share the top level (the street level) with the bar. Your first view as you enter is a long concrete bar against a wall. If you look long enough you’ll see that the restaurant’s name is spelled in green bottles on the wall behind the bar. At the end of the bar to the right the menu is written in chalk on a black wall. Opposite the bar are round wooden tables with chairs against a long bench by the window. Diners facing the window have a great view of the people traffic outside. Guests can opt to take the stairs to the restaurant’s subterranean dining room. The dining room is cubed in with high red brick walls, covered with black metal fencing and photographs hanging high above the walls. In the middle of the space is a small sparsely blossomed tree that resembles the White Tree of Gondor in the Lord of the Ring movies series. The tree is surrounded by black numbered tables with a black leather bench that runs along the wall of the dining room. On a busy day the noise level is heightened due to room’s dimensions; but during the weeknights which tend to be slow, it is a great place to have a serene dinner.

Tartinery’s tartines are fancy, creative, and delicious; the price ranges from $8 – &19. The brunch tartine, Benedict with eggs and smoked salmon paired with mushroom is a tasty, the quintessential brunch dish; the salmon is smoked to perfection. On one dinner visit I had the Confit de Canard; duck confit, cucumber, scallions and plum sauce and Thon Cru, shaved raw tuna with wasabi mayo, fennel, scallions, lemon juice, and olive oil. The pulled duck meat on the confit dish was moist and soft while the plum sauce gave the dish a great depth of flavor. The Thon Cru has a nice taste provided by the tuna and wasabi mayo combination. I’ve also tasted the Moza, fresh mozzerella with vine tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and fresh basil. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the dish was simple but there is something special about the mozzarella on the tartine. The restaurant offers three kinds of breads for the tartine: Country Peasant, Health Multigrain (from Eli’s Bread) or Rustic Sourdough (from Poilane Bakery.) Tartines can serve as an entrée or an appetizer to be shared.

Tartines are the resturant’s main focus but their entrees and desserts are also impressive. Two noteworthy entrees were the Chicken Paillard, grilled chicken bedded with mixed vegetables and the Risotto Aux Crevettes, prawns and risotto seasoned with white wine and fresh lemon. The Paillard is a great choice for the health conscious eaters, perfectly cooked chicken breasts with an array of fresh greens. The risotto is probably one of the best that I’ve had so far, it has a buttery taste that I enjoyed. Also, the Soupe A L’Oignon Gratinee or French onion soup is not like any other onion soup I’ve tasted. First of all the soup is not covered in cheese like most onion soups and the cheese with the onions in the soup gives it a delicious cheesy oniony taste. The home made desert, like the Tarte Tatin apple tart with vanilla ice cream was amazing. The Clafoutis which was recommended by the server was very good as well.

Tartinery’s wine list is decent with wines mainly from France (a few from Italy) made to be paired with the tartines. Pink Sangria made with rosé wine is something to have when eating here. The taste is fruity but not as sweet as the red or white sangria. There is also a juice bar available during lunch time where guest can mix and match fresh fruits to create their own custom mixes.

Open face sandwiches are mainly served as hors d’oeuvres in the US, but with a restaurant like Tartinery it can be whole meal which is the case in France. Though I’m pretty sure that the tartines are different there, but who needs to cross the Atlantic if all it takes is a ride on the 6 train to Spring St?

Tori Shin

*This venue has moved to another location

Tori Shin may not be your idea of a typical Japanese restaurant; they do not serve seafood but rather specialize in chicken “yakatori” or skewered grilled chicken. But don’t sleep on this Upper East Side Michelin starred restaurant. Its use of high quality organic ingredients, meticulous arrangement of food, and exotic mix of flavors will leave you mesmerize with a new appreciation for Japanese cuisine remixed.

Entering Tori Shin through its sliding black wooden doors feels like entering a restaurant in Tokyo. The hostess and the grillers behind the bar announce your arrival in Japanese for the entire audience of diners and staff. The authenticity of the atmosphere begins with the people, the Japanese staff and predominately Japanese clientele. On one occasion, I overheard a Japanese guy, explaining to his American friend what “yakatori” is and how it is very similar to the food in Japan.

The restaurant has an authentic Japanese dining interior. In the middle a three sided bar (similar to a sushi bar) built with maple wood is paired with red leather chairs all of which occupy the majority of the small intimate space. A long red swayed bench sandwiched between 2 Japanese plants serves as a waiting area. Some uncovered tables by the windows are also available. Soft lighting and minimal noise allows for a very subdued setting.

Whenever I come to Tori Shin I always sit by the bar to witness the artistry of the grillers. The grillers are masters at their craft. Knowing the exact timing for turning the skewers to get the right balance of heat, and knowing exactly how much soy sauce to add to bring out the right flavors takes years of intense practice. The highly specialized techniques they use are unmatched. During a lunch visit I saw the same grillers meticulously butchering chickens and preparing skewers with ridiculous precision for the dinner service.

The omakase dinner is highly recommended. Priced at $55, it consists of 10 skewers (6 meats, 1 special meat and 2 vegetables,) grated daikon (to clean the palate,) a rice dish, pickled vegetables and dessert. Submit yourself to the chef, as I did and he will wow you as you watch him work. With over 40 chicken skewers grilled in charcoal, you will want to try all 40; the skewers are that good! The freshness of the organic chicken prepared with various types of sauces is amazing. Skewers like the chicken meatballs are moist with an indescribable chicken flavor. The special chicken meatballs with egg yolk sauce are enough to make you want to return again and again. The rice balls are as good as the skewers especially the Special Oyako Don made with chicken and egg over rice, it was definitely a sublime taste. I enjoyed the texture of the rice, soft and watery. Contrary to my previous posts where I mention that Asian cuisine is not known for their desserts, Tori Shin is the exception; the “Shiso Sorbet” or “Japanese Mojoto” was a unique threat. It tasted like a mojito but 10 times better.

Lunch is also good and affordable. Their $20 lunch omakase comes with 5 skewer (3 meats and 2 vegtables,) salad, miso soup, rice and kobachi. The option of A la carte is also available for both lunch and dinner.

In the past Tori Shin was only known to the locals and hard core foodies. Hopefully with exposure from entrance into the Michelin Guide, Tori Shin can become a destination restaurant not just enjoyed by the Upper East Siders. Great friendly service and amazing unique food are the makings of a winning combination.

K2 Lounge at The Rubin Museum of Arts

K2 Lounge at The Rubin Museum of Arts
150 West 17th St.
New York NY 10011

New York City Fridays nights are the jumpstart to the weekend where endless booze and partying is the culture of this vibrant city. What a better way to kick-off the weekend than to visit the K2 Lounge at the Rubin Museum of Art’s café (aka Café@RMA.) On Friday’s the café is transformed into a vibrant lounge with Chelsea’s chic and trendy art loving crowd who enjoy the art, the drinks and the soothing yet upbeat music from the DJ’s eclectic song list (reminiscent of the playlist at Buddha Bar.)

The mix of Himalayan artwork displayed at every corner and soft neon lights from the curved ceilings, supported by round beams wrapped in brown marble wall paper, gives the atmosphere a flare of sexiness. Uniformed gold wooden round tables and chairs set against hard wood floors enhance the artsy scene. The bamboo bar crafted with an Asian aesthetic serves some pretty expensive martinis at $17 a pop. There are only 2 in house concoctions on the menu and oddly enough I like them both. One is the “Pomarita,” made with tequila, POM juice and triple sec; a great blend of taste, you can taste the tequila but it is neutralized by the sweetness of the POM juice. The other drink is the “Buddha’s Eye,” made with Midori, Malibu rum, pineapple juice and lime; very fruity but the taste of rum remains. The food at K2 Lounge is as good as the drinks. The Asian inspired dishes served tapas style were tasty and flavorful, however I come for the drinks.

As an added incentive to enter the museum, fees are waived every Friday night so if one is not inclined toward drinking; there are 6 floors of Himalayan art to be explored. Spend $7 at the lounge and you will get a free a ticket for the museum theater.

K2 Lounge has become one of my favorite destinations for Friday evenings. I can meet up with friends and enjoy a nice drink before heading out elsewhere to party or I can just enjoy the lounge after work and turn in early for a quiet weekend. If you ever want to impress someone and show that you have culture this is it. Booze and the arts under one roof, what a combination.

Do Hwa

55 Carmine St
New York, NY 10014

Official Site

Ask any person on the streets of New York City for a Korean restaurant and you would most likely be directed to Flushing Queens or Koreantown (aka K-Town) in Midtown Manhattan since these areas have the highest demographic of Korean population and businesses. I’ve never been to Flushing and quiet frankly the food at K-Town although not bad, just doesn’t do it for me. However there are a few Korean restaurants that have successfully ventured out from those areas. One such restaurant is Do Hwa in the West Village. Located on Carmine Street, this restaurant along with the neighborhood’s eclectic food scene makes the West Village a buffet of restaurants.

Do Hwa caught my eye while walking along Carmine Street after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. I was intrigued by the happy hour special on blackboard outside so I decided to take a peek. The place is dim, loud and caters mostly to the hip and trendy West Village crowd. Unlike restaurants in K-Town, there were very few Korean diners which lead me to question the authenticity of the cuisine. But other than the hot dog, pizza and the bagel, is there any niche food that’s a 100 percent authentic in NYC? Please let me know.

If one is into spicy food this the place to dine. One such spicy dish is the Dak Teegim crispy boneless fried chicken drizzled with jalapeno pepper sauce. Seasoned to perfection, it is juicy and soft while the jalapeno pepper sauce provided the right kick of spiciness. Starter dishes like the Dubu Junpan – seared organic tofu, scallion vinaigrette, and the Mak Gooksu cold buckwheat noodles topped with sesame kimchi, are pretty solid appetizers. The Dubu Jun seared tofu has a great soft texture and the Mak Gooksu has a sweetness that worked well with the kimchi. You are given 2 options with entrees – either with a grill, where guests can cook it on their own – served as a Ssam dish accompanied with chilli and miso sauces and other condiments like kimchi and vegetables; and the other option is already cooked by the kitchen. On one of my visits I went for the grill and had the Dak Gui chicken barbecue (thin breast slices) in sesame marinade; and the Seywoo Gui grill, peel and large shrimp with chili dipping sauces. The shrimps were fresh and so was the chicken. I also had the cooked in the kitchen Dak Gui which was very good with a very “far eastern” taste of mild sauces. Entrées are accompanied by condiments of cooked and pickled vegetables in small plates that can be a meal on its own.

The specialty drinks at Do Hwa is as good as the food. Such drinks were the Ginger Cinnamon Tea with Bourbon, where the bourbon dominated the taste while the flavor of the ginger tea complemented in the background; and the Jalapeno Margarita with pineapple and agave – which is spicy with the jalepeno and salt fusion and yet sweet with the agave and pineapple – a perfect combination.

The simple but chic décor along with its trendy staff of women gives the restaurant a hip setting. The dining room is dominated by black and white hollow block walls, concrete floors throughout and black wooden tables (some with a grill) partnered with black wooden chairs. While a white wall in the middle with Korean designs that plug the squarish cut out of the wall serves as a separator between the dining room and the bar area. At the bar guest can enjoy creative libations on the black wooden bar table where the paint is slowly chipping away showing the natural color of the wood. The happy hour menu is written on the wall and various movies are continuously showing in the bar area’s wall.

Before I began exploring the gastronomic beauty that this city has to offer I was a closed minded diner and would always think that if an ethnic restaurant is not in its own neighborhood, the food must not be good. Now, for me there are two types of foods, one that tastes good and one that tastes bad. Although Do Hwa may not serve the most authentic Korean cuisine and caters more to non-Korean diners, the food is still good and the atmosphere is enjoyable. Do Hwa is sure to offer a home cooked meal served family style that will leave you satisfied and more.

Restaurant Hospitality and Service

Here’s an interesting video where celebrity chef and Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio explains the difference between restaurant hospitality and service.

Gastroarte

* This venue is now closed.

When it comes to fine dining in NYC it’s usually dominated by Italian, French and Japanese cuisine. However, within the past year numerous Spanish restaurants have opened throughout the city. New Yorkers have seen the second coming of the Spanish Armada. The Upper West Side of Manhattan has experienced this wave firsthand with the opening of Gastroarte (aka Graffit,) “gastronomic arts” or “edible art” as I call it. Executive Chef/ Owner, Jesus Nunez is a native of Spain and a former graffiti artist. His love of art is apparent in his beautiful and colorful presentations as well as his playful modern approach to the cuisine.

I have dined at Gastroarte a few times – months have passed in between visits so I was able to witness improvements and menu changes. Some of the dishes that I had on my initial visits are no longer available; for instance: the “Shrimp Marble” carpaccio style dish which has a great texture and is very fresh and flavorful; and the “Fake Truffles” made with falafel that tasted just ok, but had an amazing presentation. Among the entrées I really enjoyed “Hake” with zuchinni cream and shrimp puree, which sadly is no longer on the menu. I also enjoyed the “Not So Average Egg,’ which is very tasty and well-seasoned; and the”Serrano Wrapped Monk Fish,” both of which are currently on the menu. The restaurant originally had a policy that the tapas menu was only available in the Tapas Bar, but I was glad that it can now be ordered in the main dining room as well.

On my most recent visit, my dining partner and I decided to share (from the tapas menu) the Albondigas De La Abuela made of meatballs with sweet potatoes cream and purple potatoes confit. We both agreed it was delicious and the sauce complemented the meatballs very well. A special chicken entrée was presented that night that was not on the menu – “Chcken Pepitoria,” pulled chicken meat placed on top of a sunny side up egg and baby zucchini with crispy fried chicken skin. The chicken was moist and meticulously prepared. Hopefully it will be a regular on the menu. And finally, I had their cheese plate consisting of 3 cheeses, Machega, pasteurized sheep milk from Machega, Tetila, a pasteurized cow’s milk and the Valdeo from pasteruzied cow and sheep’s milk. All three were very good but the Valdeo stood out with a sublime taste that I’ve never experienced in a cheese. The desserts were equally impressive like the Convertion of Bouley made with peaches and wheat. It has an interesting combination of natural sweetness from the peaches complemented by the texture of the wheat. Gastroarte complements its great tasting food with an extensive wine list from Spain.

Located on a quiet residential street this sunken restaurant is about three steps below street level. Its sleek wooden floor extends throughout the space creating an atmosphere of sexiness. The restaurant has a long layout which begins with the Tapas Bar and the Bar Room; both are visible as soon as you enter. The long white stone toped bar table is accompanied by steel metal framed high chairs completing the section . Behind the marble top bar there is an exposed brick wall with a mural mimicking urban street art. Towards the dining room there is more seating which is ideal for couples. There are booth seats directly beneath a mural of a bull and a matador over exposed brick; and fiberglass orange seats ,uncovered marble top tables completes the dining room. The soft music combined with soft lighting gives the dining room a smooth atmosphere. Glass enclosed seating at the very end of the restaurant where the sky can be seen is ideal for dinner under the stars. The crowd varies from pre and post Theater to foodies and locals enjoying the atmosphere and cuisine. The service is unpretentious and pleasant.

Chef Nunez has invaded the Upper West Side with his beautiful presentation and savory flavored dishes that New Yorkers can enjoy. His modern twist on Spanish cuisine is a great way to try something new in the neighborhood’s ever growing gastronomic scene.
