As summer winds down and nights turn cooler, there is a bittersweet pleasure to recalling the best parts of the season. Summer technically ends September 22, but as the new school year arrives, for all intents and purposes, the season is on the wane. When it comes to food, this year’s memories might include the most colorful bite of gelato, a forkful of fluke ceviche, or the best meal at one of the fast-disappearing outdoor sheds. Or maybe it was a familiar dish at an old favorite that has made you ecstatic for many summers in a row. Whatever it…

There are no add-ons at Le Veau d’Or, no sneaky little ways the restaurant tries to boost the price of your meal.

Why would a person choose to begin their evening with a petite omelette or a tomato salad when she could have the much ritzier pâté en croûte, or pommes…

The 80-degree temps and clear skies likely had a lot to do with that.Sure, the 83,240 patrons pales in comparison to 2018′s record-setting 127,394, but the swell in attendance caused all kinds of problems on the roadways leading to the fairgrounds and at the gates to get in. Traffic was so bad that dozens of fairgoers stuck in a jam parked their cars on the side of the road in Solvay and walked down.Those of us on the grounds could feel it. We…
The Michelin two-starred Jungsik has long been one of the best Korean restaurants in New York City and a proving ground for outstanding chefs from J.P. Park to Eunji Lee. And now the team there is expanding their scope, at the Southeast Asian SEA, which opened Wednesday, as Resy reported. Jungsik’s more casual sibling restaurant is the brainchild of Jungsik Yim, who’s enlisted Jun Hee Park as the executive chef of the restaurant (Park is the former sous chef at Jungsik). Yim initially signed the lease for the space back in June 2019, but his aspirations for SEA (which stands…
