I recently discovered Maison Kintaro, a low key, charming New York City Japanese restaurant.

Another beautiful weekend. Another reason to take to the highways and byways.

Why are all the fabulous, moderately priced neighborhood restaurants not in my ‘hood? I recently ate at the newly opened Stretch Pizza.

Now there is a great deal more to Rockefeller Center than the rink and the annual Christmas tree. Glorious food has skated into 30 Rock.

Takeda is noteworthy. The price point maybe a bit daunting, but the quality and the intimate dining experience are memorable.
