Nosh: What are your three favorite restaurants at the moment?

Do or Dine (Bed Stuy), Freemans (Lower East Side), Robertas PIzza (Bushwick)

Nosh: What is your favorite restaurant to go to before going out? Favorite bar?

Brooklyn Bowl (Williamsburg) before going out anywhere, and/or staying there if it’s a good show that night. The Narrows (Bushwick) is my favorite bar at the moment.

Nosh: What is your all-time favorite dessert?

Cannolis. Really, really good ones.

Nosh: What is something that you love to do that is specific to the neighborhood you live in?

Eat tacos while burning bodega prayer candles and gardening on my fire escape.

Nosh: Please tell us about a memorable dining experience you had while on vacation.

The Black Bear Diner in Olympia, WA is a sight to behold (bear-themed greasy diner) and a burger to be imbibed (pretty sure it was the size of my head).

Nosh: What dish reminds you of your childhood?

Spaghetti carbonara.

Nosh: Could you please share a few tips for throwing an unforgettable dinner party.

Never half-ass the veggies and never half-ass the music. Amazing salad + comfort food is my winning combo. Also, be sure to have back-up beverages (of all kinds) and ice.

Midnight City by M83

Nosh: What websites/blogs do you visit daily?

Calivintage, Brokelyn, and my own blog, Broadist.
