Introduction

So here's the deal.  Time and time again I eat out at a restaurant or experience an amazing bottle of wine, but often times will not save the bottle or remember the name and it's lost forever.  Now in Boston, where I lived for years, I wined and dined myself all through the city with family and friends, remembering the favorites and forgetting the "not so much" places.  After many a discussion of who should move where, my boyfriend and I decided that I would have more opportunity for my music here in NYC (even though I didn't give it much of a shot in Boston).  So long story short, I recently relocated to NJ to live with him and we ended up right across the river from NYC.

We try to stick to a budget and go out once a week to the restaurant of our choice.  The problem I've recently encountered is that NYC is HUGE!  There are a million restaurants and every time I step off the ferry in midtown, I'm awed by the enormity of it all.  So far we've eaten at some really great places, but I don't really remember what section of town they were in or what street they were on.  NYC is still so new to me and I feel like it will take eons to feel like I know it all.  So this is why I started a blog.  To document my experiences wining and dining in NYC and occasionally NJ.

I consider myself one who has great taste and love to share my findings with the world.  I'm not a writer, in case you couldn't tell yet, but rather a musician who has a serious passion for good food.  As a result, I've worked for many years at Whole Foods Market, where I can share my passion for amazing food without having to deal with the crazy hours of a chef's life.

Tonight we are going to a broadway musical.  Don't know where we'll end up for dinner yet, but I can guarantee it will be reasonably priced and in the theater district.  I'll let you know how it goes.
