I love beer. No questions asked, I love food (we all know this) beer and food makes me a very happy camper!!!


So my cousin and I decided to have a quick impromptu happy hour. We went into a few places and the wait times were over 45 minutes and our stomachs didn't want to wait. I said lets go to beer authority.

We went to the dining area and were told wait time was 30-50 minutes and we were annoyed at that point. Luckily they had a downstairs bar. Found a couple that was leaving and etched our way to happiness.

There were a Number of items that I wanted to try, but we had to catch a train soon so we had to hurry. Our eyes locked on the crab cake and we knew we were going in for the gold. The bartender was really pushing how amazing the crab cake was. It took damn near 20 minutes to come out!!!


And boy was it worth it!!  We had no idea it came on a bed of guacamole!!!!  Two of my guilty pleasures on a plate. Oh my god!!

The crab cake had a really nice light and airy flavor. Full of lumpy crab and other goodness along with it. The guacamole was the icing on the cake!! Wish I had time to have another!!! 



I would definitely come back for more!! This place hasn't let me down in the past.


Til next time!!!

Hidden Gems are hard to find, but when you do hold onto them for dear life!!!


My cousin saw this new place in midtown and thought it be a great new place to try and boy were we happy. 


These Korean BBQ wings were amazing!!! Nice and tangy but not spicy at all!!!  A must try 


I love scallion pancakes and this place knows how to make them!!! 


We have to come back for lunch!!!  Appetizer, meal, and a drink only $8!!!  That's a steak for midtown!!!

I definitely recommend this place!!! 




P.S. they have all day happy hour 2 for 1 drinks that will knock your socks off for sure!!!  Till next time!!

When I was first told about the post office I thought to my self a place where you get or send mail right? Well no that wasn't the case. This place was a dynamite resort for fine dining and game watching! Lets talk about the food!!



They had an assortment of sauces I could have chosen for the wings, but because I was feeling in the Asian mood I went with the sweet chilly sauce! It was extremely delicious. Tangy, a little kick and then sweet. I was a perfect balance on the really well fried wings! I would definitely try the other sauces when I go back! 


Some people say you can't mess up Calamari, those people are wrong. I've had bad Calamari in my day and I tell you this one was not bad, it was great!!!  The batter really makes or breaks a good Calamari and then the sweet chilly sauce being reinforced into this dish made me a very happy camper! 


So I forgot to mention that I was sitting at the bar, and it was happy hour. The bartender highly recommended the southwest chicken egg rolls. I was on the fence, but I love anything fried in an egg roll! Who doesn't?  Took a bite and I called her over to thank her! It had chicken, black beans really good cheese and the aoli sauce on the side really made the dish whole. This is a must try if you go there!


Its bad enough I showed you more than one dish before this one. But do you really believe that my greedy ass would settle for just one dish at a bar? Hell no!!!  It was artichoke and spinach dip time!  Oh and there was beer in it too!!  Gluttony, no, pure indulgence,  YES!!!  The pita chips were nice and soft, and the nacho child were warm and salted. That with the combination of the dip. You have a happy marriage of flavors!  

I love sweet potato fries, who doesn't? These assured me why!! Cinnamon dusted sweet fries with a cinnamon aoli on the side is just a recipe for greatness. Of course I didn't eat all this food alone. I was with my BF and we sure did enjoy our selves! 


Now for the beer!!  I couldn't get a picture of all three beer flavors we had but let me just let you guys know. They do make their own beer and they do distribute other local brewery beers as well!!  We had their own pumpkin beer, which without the cinnamon crust really had a pumpkin taste. Not all pumpkin beers have that authentic beer taste. They did and I understand why it was a hot commodity. We tried their stout as well. It was really full bodied and gave you a bit of homey warmness going down. Then we had a dark IPA which was super super delicious. Hard to describe the flavors but it was out of this world. 






This happy hour extravaganza was only $50 bucks. Mind you we had three beers each. Now tell me that's not a great bang for your buck!!! I highly recommend going here any night of the week! They have great food, great people, and great specials.


Till next time my friends!!!

I love brunch. I love not going to far for brunch as well!!

After a relaxing day on Saturday I wanted to do brunch on the island but not too far! We hit the jackpot!!!

Steak and eggs with home fries for my bf. I wish I ordered this. But hey he shared half of his steak with me. So I was a happy camper!!  The steak was well seasoned and juicy!  omg I wish I had some right now. You could use a butter knife (like I did) to cut into it and enjoy!! The home fries had Rosemary and peppers and really made you feel like a well thought out dish for Sunday brunch. Not to mention the foot ball games going on. 


My fish was the omelet, cooked just how I asked. The home fries made the dish whole. Damn I wish it were Sunday again!!!


Along with your meal cones blueberry corn bread and some bagels and butter. A lot of food!!!! 



Can't have brunch with out the booze!!! The bartenders did their job well!! I think me and My bf guzzled down 3 and a half bottles in 2 hours!!!  Best brunch ever!!!



They have other amazing items on their menu. As I've mentioned, it was foot ball Sunday, so a bunch of guys had wings. I just wanted one and guess what!!!  A guy sitting next to us at the bar was eating a stack of wings I asked how were they and he plopped a few on my plate!!!  Oh yea baby food makes me happy!!!! I Will definitely come back here again for sure! 


Until next time!!!
