 "Do you know what makes Sundays better?" one word SAUCE.So, after trying to do the South Beach diet unsuccessfully since January, I decided it was time to make pasta in my home. Hey, its Sunday. I'm tired of my meatballs and I've always wanted to make bolognese NOT meat sauce but bolognese or a ragu. I have to say, I'm not sure that I succeeded but I made something that was definitely better than normal and it was done in a fairly low-key way... More... Posted: April 18, 2010 What could vanessa know if I haven't written in a year?Shame on me. I have not updated this site in a year. I think my life has been consumed with facebook, tweets and more distracting me from my site which was so original before all the blogs and sites. Seems a little dull now. Noone has had any new questions recently so I will give an update of my new favorite things that I feel everyone should know... More... Posted: April 4, 2010 Whitney and Parker from NYC need to know, "Where do I go to lunch in our work hood and beyond?"Well, you are very lucky because when I worked in the Chelsea/Meatpacking district literally they had one restaurant that accepted credit cards and the Gansevoort Hotel was a parking lot. Now the world is your oyster. I'll start with the 10th Avenue Area and then move to when you're out of the office. More... Posted: January 31, 2009 Vanessa wants you to know, "Everyone needs to know where to get an insanely delicious cupcake."Noone asked, but I must tell because I'm bursting with delish. After a tough week who wants to go 60 blocks out of their way for a cupcake in NYC on a holiday weekend? Well, I do. I had no idea what I was headed for as I strolled down to Butter Lane, otherwise known as 7th and A. More... Posted: November 26, 2008 Theresa from Queens needs to know, "Why I haven't you updated vanessaknows.com in 2 months?"Well Theresa, I've been busy with my day job but I was actually going to update the site this week. In fact, this very night I felt there was something that everyone needed to know, warning I might regret sharing this later. I think the Upper West Side is a food destination. Tonight we went to Bloomingdale Road in the 80s and Broadway and I have to say how excited I was to have a place like this in the neighborhood. More... Posted: September 28, 2008 Aggie needs to know, "Where can I get a great burger in Midtown, Manhattan?"Well Aggie, Midtown is full of burgers, literally you can trip on many from Vinyl Diner to Matt's to Chelsea Grill to Island Burgers BUT could it get better? I think that it could. I've always been a fan of Nice Matin on the UWS but never had the burger. Could I imagine an entire restaurant opened over one item? I can, I could, I did! More... Posted: August 3, 2008 Noone asked but I must tell...So, I'm amazed by Fresh Direct, they aren't perfect, but they are really darn good. When the Rosa Mexicana program started, I wasn't as curious. Given that I've eaten at Rosa and felt it couldn't be as good. A friend once served me the pork chops and I was so impressed. So, when the Tabla menu came out I was dying to try. I've never been to Tabla but have always wanted to go. With that being said, when I was ordering my Fresh Direct on Monday I thought, oh I'll just try something... More... Posted: April 9, 2008 Jessica needs to know where to go for "Asian YUM, is it Momo or Fatty Crab?"Well Jessica, I have to say after my 2-day in a row tour of both, I still crave Fatty Crab...so I must admit, we must go again. More... Posted: March 8, 2008 Matt from Dobbs Ferry needs to know, "Where to eat in Westchester?"
Well Matt, I have to admit that with two aunts and cousins in Westchester, I have been coming here for years, but have never eaten very memorable meals (outside of their homes) I must say. Much of my dining was at Pizza & Brew on Central Avenue and the diner in Westchester.
