Inside Broadway Tour

A huge part of NYC is Broadway.  The shows.  The Stars.  The old theaters.  The history.  Find out all about them on the Inside Broadway Tour.  A 1 hour 45 minute walking tour through the theater district, where your hosts will give you the inside scoop on Times Square and how it evolved from a horse trading district into the epicenter of theater, the auditioning process, hotspots and historical highlights and much more.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Ben Stiller is Walter Mitty, that fantasy-prone nobody that overcomes and finds himself.  Wearing director and lead hats, Stiller brings his trademark tangent-driven style to the film, which is a perfect match for Mitty's fantasy sequences.  In fact, Stiller takes it to a whole-nutha-level, where falcons of poetry and Benjamin Buttons abounds.  Go see it.  And bring a date!

Saving Mr. Banks

In 1941 Walt Disney made a promise to his daughters to make Mary Poppins.  Twenty years later he was still trying.  Tom Hanks (Disney) and Emma Thompson, who plays Poppins author P.L. Travers, battle over the movie rights, in this charming film that shows us the human story behind a beloved piece of film lore.

Mandarin Orange French Toast at Norma's at Le Parker Meridien

Norma's is, of course, legendary for everything from people-watching to the over-the-top brunches. It's a tough choice between the macadamia pancakes and the mandarin orange French toast, but we are going with the latter because 1) there are delicious nut pancakes all over the city, and 2) we think the presentation of the French toast is totally up to par with the taste. Treat yourself.

Oysters and Creamy Mushroom Crostino at Marlow & Sons

A caveat and treat for Marlow & Sons is that the menu is changing daily. The oysters, however, are a staple. There are multiple varieties, and they are renowned among hipsters and connoisseurs alike. An incredible side is the crostino topped with a creamy mushroom spread. To add an entrée, we recommend the brick chicken.

Crêpes Jambon Fromage at Buvette

Buvette is another one of those NYC staples where you just can't go wrong, but we have to recommend the crêpes. With its sister restaurant in Paris, you can feel comfortable with the creation delivered to your table, and our favorite comes stuffed with ham and brie. Pair with poached fruit for a twist on the standard breakfast side dish.

Ginger-Scallion Chicken and Brussels Sprouts at Ellary's Greens

Ellary's Greens prides itself of all organic, cage-free products with a heavy emphasis on rich vegetarian and vegan options. That being said, the Steamed Organic Chicken Breast with the ginger-scallion sauce is delightful. The brussels sprouts with roasted apples, hazelnuts, and verjus make a perfect side. The wine list is not long, but the organic theme continues, and there are enough choices to find a satisfactory pairing. If you're not feeling the wine, beer is available as well.

Vegetable Brochette and Rillettes at the Station

The Station is a beautiful restaurant, full of streaming light, with a generous chef who often alters the Spanish, Italian, and Swedish fare on request. The culinary compositions are creative and craving-inducing. We recommend the Vegetable Brochette and the pork Rillettes, (pâté), though if a sinfully creamy burrata dish is available, feel free to choose that instead. Finish with the pear and mascarpone crêpe. Mmmmm. Open all day with lots of menu choices.

Brioche Cinnamon Bun at Abraço

You can check out the image gallery on the website, but nothing can prepare you for the delicious aroma of baked treats and espresso at the Abraço Espresso Bar. It could be a bakery on its own without the exquisite coffee. We recommend the Brioche Cinnamon Bun and an espresso macchiato to kick start a splendid day in the city. Menus change regularly, but we are confident anything you find is worth the stop in. No tables, but cozy up to the bar and make a friend or two.

Chausson aux Pommes at the Dominique Ansel Bakery

It's just oh-so flaky with, "juicy caramelized apple chunks." You can opt to add homemade jam or butter, too. Perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea.

Shrimp and Grits at Peels

It's nearly impossible to mess up shrimp and grits, and by the same token, it's unusual to find a truly remarkable entry. Try the effort at Peels. It's savory, with the shrimp cooked to perfection and the grits neither too creamy nor too dry. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad; the honey-lime-mint addition is a fine dressing to various seasonal fruit.

Their goal is to make, "the best baked goods in the city, hand-mixed in small batches." While there are plenty of delicious items to choose from all day long - including their famous banana walnut, Main blueberry, or chocolate chunk pancakes, we recommend the buttermilk biscuit sandwich with melted cheese, tomato jam, and add the bacon. Served with hashbrowns.

Mofongo at 188 Bakery Cuchifritos

In the world of subtly different Hispanic cuisines, an authentic mofongo is a dish not usually worth pursuing stateside. It is a plantain dish which can be combined with pretty much any other ingredients, and the result is usually edible - like generic cheese pizza - but not usually worth a special trip. The mofongo at 188 Bakery Cuchifrito's is an exception. They have taken the time to properly prepare the plantains with a mortar and pestle and there are plenty of toppings inlcuding cheese and chicharrones - fried pork rinds. The price is right for a late night dinner. Check it out.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The critics range from calling it a place filler - between the first and third films in the trilogy - and calling it a masterpiece. All we know is that The Hobbit was a fantastic story when we were 10, and Director Jackson tells it well. Plus, Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Khan on the new Star Trek movie) does the voice for Smaug. And that's good enough reason to check it out by itself.

American Hustle

American Hustle is generating a lot of Oscar buzz. Justin Chang of Variety says, "You've seen smoother, more elegant con movies than "American Hustle," but probably none quite so big-hearted or so rudely, insistently entertaining." It's an HWYD must do this season.

Notes: Rathbun steak is definitely a valet affair. They have an excellent bar with some great bar tenders if you don't have a Rez. But try to get into the main dining room if you can. It's dark, to allow focus on the huge original art works and unique stacked redwood accent wall. Great atmosphere.

Legendary Filet at Hal's

Consistently in our top three Atlanta steak experiences, Hals brings it with clarified butter brushed super thick filets. Flavor is king at Hals, and the filet reigns. Have it with a crab salad and the creamed spinach and a big glass of Franciscan cab or two. Perfect.

Notes: Hals is valet all the way. It's worth it in the cramped parking around the area. Be prepared to rub a lot of shoulders in the bar waiting area. It gets pretty packed. The service is great. Make friends with your server. They're great guys and they have your back.
