Cheap, Fun, and Delicious: Five Ideas for your Next Eat Outing

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 11:05:27 -0500

Your favorite thing to do is enjoy a staggering meal in one of the city’s best restaurants. But now you’re in belt-tightening mode, your cash flow withering as winter descends. How to cope? By finding a great food experience in NYC without sitting down to a pricey meal or an unsatisfying cheap eats selection. The experience is the thing. Here are a few suggestions for a satisfying (and thrifty) afternoon, all with deliciousness in mind:

1. Kalustyan’s. When did you last go to Kalustyan’s? Walking through the doors will make you grateful to live in this city. The towering stacks of dried fruit and nuts and endless array of spices (over 500) hit all your senses. Curry leaves, black mustard seeds, lime pickle, you name it. You can spend hours selecting the ingredients for a good dinner. When your basket is full and your stomach is rumbling, walk upstairs and order a mouthwatering mujadarra (a heaping pita full of soft stewed lentils, onions, and rice), noting your preferred spiciness for the counterman. This savory lunch will bludgeon you into a heavy stupor until it’s time to make dinner – and I mean this in a good way.
123 Lexington, between 28th and 29th, 212-685-3451.

2. Bonnie Slotnick’s. After buying magisterial-sounding spices from Kalustyan’s, you need some low cost inspiration for the actual recipes. Walk into Bonnie Slotnick’s for the perfect used cookbook to summon a gorgeous meal. If you want to find just the right book, ask. She will recommend the perfect book; trust me here. She knows. And if she doesn’t have it, she will track it down. Spending time in this bookshop will probably result in an internal promise to eat out less and learn how to make your favorite restaurant meals at home. While you’re there, don’t forget to read the framed letter from M.F.K. Fisher hanging on the wall, and be sure not to trip over her dog, asleep in the middle of the rug.
163 W.10th St. at 7th Avenue, 212-989-8962 (be sure to call ahead because the shop is closed one day each week, and that day varies).

3. Oms/b. I can’t imagine you are near Grand Central Station for any reason related to pleasure, but if you have to be in that neighborhood, your day just improved. Oms/b serves omusubi, or Japanese rice balls, in all sorts of flavors (and colors!). The friendly staff answers any and all questions as you pick out one of the beautiful pieces, wrapped like packages. (The word omusubi originated from a Japanese verb that means "to take hold of something with one’s hands.”) A collection looks like a pile of gifts: yukari-plum wrapped in pink soy, white rice topped with spicy chili shrimp, or soy sauce flavored rice with mixed vegetables and chicken. You’ll leave feeling well-cared for and well-traveled – much cheaper than flying to Kyoto.
156 E. 45th Street, between 3rd and Lexington, 212-922-9788.

4. Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop. Go in, sit at the counter, and order your egg and cheese on a roll. Look around, realizing that since 1929 Eisenberg’s has fed those who just wanted a sandwich they could trust. No irony, no parody – just a sandwich stacked high with turkey or pastrami on good rye bread. Bonus: no tourists! Just go.
174 Fifth Avenue, between 22nd and 23rd, 212-675-5096.

5.Economy Candy. Feeling blue? Walk into Economy Candy. The sickly sweet smell of commercial candy will envelop you like a warm hug. All your favorites are here – waxed lips, candy necklaces, pixie sticks, bubblegum cigarettes. (Bubblegum cigarettes! Think of it!) Some of these are still being manufactured specifically for the nostalgia fest that is Economy Candy. Pull handfuls from the lopsided piles of sweets, fill up a paper bag, and start staining your mouth deep purple. What does it matter that nothing in here is actually food? Face it, high fructose corn syrup is the taste of your childhood (sorry Michael Pollan).
108 Rivington Street, 800-352-4544.

Charbay Black Walnut Liqueur (Nostalgie)

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:09:34 -0500

Description : Rich, intense walnut aromas & flavors seduce your senses. Long & lingering natural flavors. An unforgettable style reawakens an inner cord. We infuse local black and other walnuts for two years with our brandy, then Miles finishes the Liqueur with a secret blend of spices. Taste a liqueur with real flavors, balanced mouth feel & a finish that goes on & on. There's always a barrel in back for the next release.

Serving Ideas : Pour about 2 ounces into an elegant snifter or small stemware glass. Serve with fresh nuts, walnut or pumpkin tarts, over ice cream, as a glaze over flowerless chocolate cake.

Production Method: Black, Carpathian and English walnuts were first infused in 12 year old double-distilled Alambic Pot-Still Brandy, then extracted with pure water. Both infusions were blended and aged in oak barrels for 2.5 years.

Gifts for the Enlightened Cupboard

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:05:14 -0500

Formaggio Essex for one-of-a-kind gifts

Our favorite source for last-minute, one-of-a-kind edible gifts is tucked way in the back of the Essex Street Market. The two-year-old outpost of a legendary Cambridge, Massachusetts store (a favorite haunt of the late Julia Child), Formaggio Essex stocks a continuous rotation of carefully chosen kitchen staples you won't find anywhere else.

Michele Cuniberto Cherries in Syrup
There's nothing complicated about these sweet Duroni cherries ($24 for 21 oz), which are simply picked and plunged into jars of sugar syrup. And once the gorgeous jar is opened, the cherries will disappear just as effortlessly into cakes, cobblers and cocktails. Save the leftover syrup for flavoring drinks or stirring into whipped cream. Also available online at formaggiokitchen.com.

Floriano Turco Olanhas e Mel
Nutella can take a hike: Honey (not chocolate) is the best mate for hazelnuts. This caramel-colored blend of wild acacia honey and Piedmontese hazelnuts ($23 for 9 oz) from one of Europe's top honey producers will have giftees scrambling for ways to use it (hint: Start with ice cream and French toast). Available in store only.

Roi Monocultivar Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
The olives for this Ligurian oil ($29 for 25 oz) are picked late in the season, which produces a sweet, buttery oil with a noticeably spicy finish. Dumping this stuff into a frying pan would be a waste; save it for salad dressings and drizzling over vegetables and fish. Also available online at formaggiokitchen.com.

Hangers: the right hangers for the job

Mon, 11 May 2009 10:17:30 -0400

The Good

Shirt
Known as 'crystal clear hangers,' these are the same ones used in department stores—and for good reason. Crafted from styrene plastic, they're durable and retain the garments' form. Plus, the swiveling metal hook makes it easy to hang pieces in either direction without having to take them off the hanger.
http://www.containerstore.c...

Pants
Whether you're hanging flat front trousers, jeans or khakis, fold in half lengthwise and clip them by the waistband.
http://www.containerstore.c...

Suit
A suit requires its own hanger. It should be wide, with contoured arms to keep the jacket's shoulder shape and a bar on which to drape the pants. Look for a ribbed bar that will keep your pants in place without the use of clamps.
http://www.containerstore.c...

Coat
Your coat takes a beating from the elements. You'll drag it in dirty and hang it up wet. Take care of it indoors by storing it on a sturdy wooden hanger to help support the weight and protect the shape.
http://www.containerstore.c...

The Bad
Those cheap, tubular plastic hangers—which now come in a rainbow of colors—will ruin your clothes. The thinness and 45-degree angle of the arm means clothes are often stretched and creased.

The Ugly
Wire hangers have their purposes. Namely, summer camp craft projects and breaking into cars. Instead of letting them infiltrate your closet, put your freshly-pressed shirts onto their real hangers as soon as you get home from the cleaners.

Hot News :: Ballet flat

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:34:37 -0400

Hot news! Designer Colin Lin hit upon a very exciting idea by using recycled newspaper to create an environmentally friendly ballet flat. These adorable flats are crafted from recycled Chinese language newspapers that are woven into a lattice pattern, then dipped in plastic for weather protection and durability. The coating gives the shoe a waterproof protection, so it’s actually better than fabric or leather.

Each pair uses just three to three and a half pages of newsprint and is handcrafted with the help of cottage industry artists in China. Cutting back on factory production methods and making every shoe one of a kind.

Newspaper recycled upper coated with plastic. Manmade sock and lining. Patent leather heel counter. Leather outsole.

This simple black pump goes beyond with an ankle hugging velcro wrap. Leather sole, 3.25" leather covered heel. About Coclico:

MATERIALS

Leather ~ Though thereThis simple black pump goes beyond with an ankle hugging velcro wrap. Leather sole, 3.25" leather covered heel. is controversy around the eco-friendliness of leather, we find significant factors that compel us to use it. 1.) leather is a by-product of the meat industry so it would be wasteful to discard the skins 2.) it is an unparalleled material for the type of shoes that we make. 3.) We can encourage better tanning practices by pressure within the industry

We are using more vegetable tanned leathers. These leathers have a beautiful, hand-finished patina from tanning agents derived from bark, fruit, and seeds.

We are using local sources close to the factory where the shoes are made in Spain.

When we do use chrome tanned leather, we are working with tanneries that adhere strictly to EU regulations for water quality maintenance, efficiency practices, and chemical sequestration.
