Raf’s I walked into a dimly lit foyer facing a cute banquet and pastry counter. I marveled at the offerings that were placed in a mid century vintage pastry case. The Italian French inspired eatery would be a great spot to have breakfast or brunch, quietly. Pastry Chef Camari Mick is amplifying the pastry game…
A day well spent working the New York City Food and Wine Festival! I have always had a love for food television and was thrilled to be a part of an event that Food Network and the Cooking Channel were sponsors of; where all of the proceeds went to the NYC food bank and Share…

If I ever had a storefront of my own it would probably look like Big Night. I am obsessed with their vintage glassware finds, cookbook collection, and all of the chili oils and tinned fish (even though I don’t eat) you can find. It’s a mecca for a culinary professional or the amateur home cook….
