This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. During my most recent visit to New York, I stayed at the Kitano Hotel which is, as far as I know, the only Japanese-owned hotel in the Big Apple. Many of the things at the hotel are designed … Continue reading »

Danji review – Korean food tapas-style
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. There are a depressingly large number of mediocre chain restaurants in and around New York’s Times Square, but there are some interesting independent eateries near that iconic location if you’re prepared to look around. Danij is a Korean … Continue reading »
Motorino review – brussel sprouts? On a pizza?!
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Of all the cuisines available in New York, pizza must seem like the most unimaginative one to try out. The Big Apple’s pizzas are reputed to especially good though and I happened to pass by Motorino in the … Continue reading »
St Anselm review – grills and thrills
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. St Anslem is slightly unusual due to a combination of both its menu and location. Almost every savoury dish at this dimly-lit Brooklyn restaurant is grilled on a large gas-fired appliance, from meat and vegetables to seafood. It’s … Continue reading »

Soulful or soulless? Amy Ruth’s review
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Soul food isn’t especially well-known in the UK, but it’s one of America’s culinary delights. Although it’s not well-suited for those of us on a diet, I nevertheless greatly enjoyed my introduction into the cuisine at Henry’s Soul … Continue reading »
Excellent Dumplings House review
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Given the superb range of Chinese restaurants available in London, I wasn’t planning on visiting any during my recent trip to New York. That changed when I was drawn to the fascinating Museum of Chinese in America which … Continue reading »
