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

August 15th of this year would have been culinary legend Julia Child’s 100th birthday, and to honor her legacy, Knopf launched a 100-day celebration called the JC100, which involves celebrity chefs, food bloggers, bookstores and restaurants across the country. At the heart of the celebration is
