NYC Burger Week 2016

You read that right. An entire week dedicated to the all-american favorite food indulgence. To be honest, we had no idea this existed. We completely missed the memo for 2015. Not the case for NYC Burger Week 2016. The line up screams for a clogged artery by hump day. If we make it through the whole week you can find us forging Lipitor prescriptions at Duane Reade. Don’t blame us. With nights like Black Iron Burger’s Burger and Beer Civil War AND The Beer Culture Boozy Burger Brunch how are you not going to be sitting at the next table with a half glass of booze and ketchup smeared in the corners of your mouth? May 1-7 @ various location in NYC.

McKittrick Hotel’s The Last Supper

We’ve loved the McKittrick Hotel since our first sneak peek before the fames Sleep No More ever performed once. The Punchdrunk team has now opened up The Attic and invited us to The Last Supper, a surreal time warp back to the 1960’s that boasts a hypnotic experience. Knowing this theater companies flair for the eerily awesome, there’s no doubt this night will be a head spinner you will remember for a solid decade. A few early reviews are available but leave a lot to the imagination. Our advice is not to click and be completely surprised by the journey that lies up in the attic. The dinner only runs until July 21st so you have to grab tickets as soon as you can. Don’t forget to wear your mid-century best or summon your inner Don Draper. Dressing the part always makes for more immersive fun. Now through August 4th in NYC.

Dinner | Movie

Grand Central Market Movies – Big

Zoltar has spoken, and your wish has been granted: yes, you can watch ‘Big’ on the patio at Los Angeles’ Grand Central Market while sampling from Horse Thief BBQ’s menu of Texan meats and veggie-centric sides. We promise that the magic of the evening will be restricted to the movie’s storyline, Tom Hank’s performance, and the restaurant’s non-Hollywood dishes like brisket, apple and pomegranate salad – that is, of course, unless you decide to try your luck with an unplugged fortune-telling machine, in which case, see you at FAO Schwartz on the human sized piano. Wednesday, August 3rd at 8pm in Grand Central Market, Downtown LA.

A Night In by Adá Supper Club

Adá Supper Club has created A Night In to bring a bit of restaurant ambiance into your dining room and living room. If those are the same for you, as is with many of us NYers, we got you. Each meal is prepared by one of their hand-picked chefs comes with a playlist to complement the smells and tastes inside your box as well as some plating instructions to truly amp up that restaurant feel. For years we converted an apartment into a full restaurant, although it was a ton of work, the magic was real. This promises that same magic with a far lighter lift, plus the chefs are top-notch. Picked from the best black and female culinary crafters in New York today, your box experience will come as close as possible to Adá’s in-person culinary feasts. Chef Kia Damon, Chef Nana Wilmot and Chef Stikxz produced some of the most recent dinners all under different themes like “Land of Wood & Water” or “The Love That I Knead”. We love this touch. As fans of fully immersive experiences, the details are the difference. Currently, there’s a waitlist. We recommend getting in the cue asap.

Dinner | Charity

Olmsted Backyard BBQ Fundraiser

The chefs and owners at Olmstead and Maison Yaki have graciously set up a fundraiser dinner to support a woman’s right to choose. Along with Greg and team they’ve invited some of their best chef friends to participate in making the Yellowhammer Fund charity meal extra delicious. There are two seatings and we think these tickets will go fast. A seat gets you all the food and drink you can consume plus a whole lot of feel good for your donation. Plus, you get to hang in a restaurant filled with a like-minded community all night. June 24th in Brooklyn at 5pm and 7:30pm seatings.
