Bronzed, Succulent Thighs at Pete’s Bar-B-Q

Pete’s is really one of my favourite kinds of restaurants.  One, because it old, worn and still run by a family.  Two, because they have delicious chickies.  I don’t mean girls in tight sweaters, but I’ve seen them there too. I don’t know why, but I lose all semblance of

Flawless Margaritas at Hecho en Dumbo

The very first I was ever really drunk-drunk, I was sixteen and in Monte Carlo for one day. I had a margarita at a shitty tourist sidewalk cafe and thought it was the best thing I’d ever tasted. In reality it probably tasted terrible, but getting drunk for the first

FREE Appetizers at Sugar Lounge

I discovered Sugar Lounge after they turned me down for a bartending job, which was my first indication that these people know what’s up because I was grossly under-qualified for that position. This place is probably the best happy hour spot I’ve found in the city. They have $3 beers

Limelight Marketplace Opens

So this is fucking weird.  And it makes me feel really old.  The very first ‘club” I was ever “up in” in my life has become a sort of haute-bourgeois foodie mecca and it opens this weekend.  The first place I ever saw real live drag queens and heard real
