A Food Blog
I’m not a huge music festival person. Mostly because a lineup of boy bands is hard to come by. I am, however, a massive fan of food festivals hosted in beautiful parks on sunny Saturdays, and the Great Googa Mooga is just that. You can check out the whole lineup of killer grub (more than 85 res...
It's true, and I couldn't be happier about it. Sweet Chick (my client), at 164 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, is launching brunch this Saturday (April 20th). I have tasted every single thing on the menu - and it's all good. Fo' real. But some of my favorites include: Black Bean Cake & Scramb...
Well, Andrew Carmellini has done it again, folks. And by 'it' I mean absolutely nailed it. Lafayette, which opened only two days ago at 380 Lafayette Street in New York City, was a-buzz last night and ticked just about all of the boxes: friendly, fast service, delicious food and a cool ambiance. Th...
Chef Tom Sellers, Creative Edge Culinary Council from Libby Andrews on Vimeo. This video is a bit old now, but I never got around to sharing it on my blog. Last year, when I was working for Creative Edge Parties, one of the best catering companies in New York City, we asked Chef Tom Sellers f...

I love April Bloomfield and her New York City restaurants all year long, but in the months of November and December, in the lead up to the holidays, there is no better place to have lunch than The Spotted Pig or The Breslin. This season at The Breslin, the lunch menu is killin' it with all kind...
Let me just tell you about a new little place (owned by the guys behind the Hummus Place) that is really rocking my world. Zizi Limona is a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant in Williamsburg that ticks all the boxes: good food, extremely fair prices, cozy ambiance (indoor and outdoor seating with a ...
I have been searching for this product my entire life. Ok, maybe not my entire life but certainly since the day I graduated from college, which somehow also became the day my hangovers went from bad to just plain ugly. What is it about becoming any actual adult that means after two glasses of wine o...
I love watching all of the London 2012 Olympics coverage and seeing snippets of my old hood, and subsequently reading the zillions of features online and in travel magazines about where to eat, drink, shop and play in East London. Most of them hit all the typical spots – Brick Lane, Broadway Marke...
