On the Road: Cold Hollow Cider Mill

A couple weeks ago Domino’s introduced a new “Square Puff” pizza that is fluffier because it’s served on a pasty crust. The additional claim to fame for this offering seems to be that it “fills [...]

After my Pop Tart’s World experience, I knew I had to go find something even crazier to eat while in NYC. This led me to Long Island City in Queens, where I met my best friend from college for a tasty lunch at El Ay Si (get it? like LIC for Long Island City?).  He [...]

So Good on the Road: Pop Tarts World

by · September 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment

A couple weeks ago, So Good posted video of news coverage reporting on the opening of Pop Tarts World in Times Square. With NYC coming up on my travel itinerary shortly after its opening, I knew I owed it to So Good readers to pay homage to the breakfast pastries gods by making a visit. [...]

Would You Rather? Bar Snack Edition

by · September 15th, 2010 · 5 Comments

That moment of bemused excitement. You sit down at a bar and order a beer. As your beer arrives the bar tender drops off an unexpected bonus: a little something salty to snack on. Maybe it’s in a nice wooden bowl that has been delicately filled and prepped in back. Maybe the bartender shovels something [...]

So Good on the Road: Garbage Burger

by · September 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments
