It has been a big week for NYC Nom Nom. First, I found out that my recipe was selected to appear (with me, of course) on the Wendy Williams Show LIVE this Tuesday! I will be up against 2 other audience members in a dessert competition that will be judged by Gail Simons and Johnny Iuzzini for a Top Chef: Just Desserts segment. I am making a Double Trouble Peanut Butter Cup that was inspired by a...

Project Food Blog #1 - "Ready, Set, Blog!"
Being a FoodBuzz Featured Publisher, it’s has been a fun ride. I really like what they do and how they support us bloggers (including a great tasting I won!) They are now embarking on a big competition to select a blogger who will be featured on the site for a year and win a $10K prize. (I was shocked when I realized I got more excited about the potential of being featured than the cash...

Origin Thai (2) in Morristown, NJ
My sister became my hero when she donated 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. When we were in the area, we stopped by Origin Thai for lunch. There are two more locations in Somerville and Basking Ridge, NJ and they bill themselves as being a French/Thai fusion. I have only previously been to the Somerville location, and it was actually the first place I ever tried (and liked) Thai. It...

Luke's Lobster- East Village
After hearing about Luke’s Lobster (we went to the one on 7th Street near 1st Ave, however, one just opened up on 81st Street near 2nd Ave) for a long time, I finally made my way there as a “last meal” at my old job.
Staring at the menu, I was really stuck. I wanted to try as much as possible, so I eventually decided on “A Taste of Maine” which included a small...

The New Montenapo
I was completely blown away last time I went to Montenapo (in the NY Times building on 41st between 7th and 8th). So much so, that I nominated it for the #4 meal of all of 2009.
They closed down for a few months when a new owner came on board. I’m not sure what they changed, however, I was so excited that it opened back up that I ordered take out. Very expensive take out to be exact.

People's Pops on The Highline
I think that the Highline Parkis an excellent addition to NYC. I love the story… I’m sure it’s romanticized, however, from what I understand it was an abandoned railroad track that was going to be demolished before someone went up there and saw a beautiful wildflower garden and went on a crusade to turn it into a public park. It is now open from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street...
Technical Difficulties
It appears there is some bug that I have run into on Tumblr. The individual links to my latest posts are not working. If you run into any problems, my apologies. Tumblr has forwarded me onto their development team so, hopefully, it will be repaired very soon. In the meantime, you can still read all the posts, but you just can’t click on them individually.
Thanks Nommers!

Birthday Dinner at Le Bernadin
Continuing the amazing tradition of treating each other to fantastic birthday dinners, Mike surprised me this year with a meal at Le Bernadin(on 51st Street near 7th Ave). Le Bernadin is famous for having 3 Michelin Stars and a famous chef, Eric Ripert, who did not disappoint (and was also present that night!)
It is designed simply yet elegantly, with beautiful tall flowers that filled the...

Tuity Fruity Chicken and Corn Fritters
It is no secret that I love fruit paired with chicken/turkey/pork/scallops. We happened to have a lot of fruit that needed to be used, so we made up a Tuity Fruity Chicken and paired it with a great Weight Watchers recipe for corn fritters.
We cut up some plums, peaches, and sections of clementines and combined it with some Diet Sunkist, garlic, apricot preserves, salt, and pepper.
I...
