Luckily NYC is a city where you can still find top eats for a surprising value. These are the places to check out for casual eats for kids in the city. Momosan Ramen BarMasaharu Morimoto was the executive chef of Nobu before Nobu was cool, so he sort of knows his stuff.

Now, they’re spreading their wings, and we mean further than their mini-fiefdom in the Hamptons. Eleven Madison Home is the latest venture for vegan foods in your pantry. There are a lot of great things about dining at a Michelin Star restaurant. The class, the effort, the feeling that you’re getting a taste of something truly special.

You know they say when you feed a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. You teach him how to fish, and you feed him for life.

So, whether you can’t boil an egg (which is actually an art, by the way), or you’re on the next Top Chef, this is where to refine your mad cooking skills. Maybe you’re the type of person who goes on vacation to avoid cooking.

Sometimes you just have to suspend disbelief and wonder who the heck is buying this stuff. File this one under knowledge you never thought you’d need to know, but will use at your next cocktail party. All foodies know, a dish is only as good as the quality of the ingredients. And these days, the price of our food is a hot topic.

It’s one thing to be in a beautiful, remote place. It’s another to have an Architectural-Digest-worthy home. You put the two of these together, and you have yourself homes that are literally one with nature. Under the definition of showstoppers, these homes are architectural feats, whose superpower is their spectacular integration into the great outdoors.
