Thai food has become as ever-present in the dinner decision making ladder as Chinese and pizza, yet Bay Ridge hasn’t really had its share of Thai food restaurants – until Glow opened. Bay Ridge has had long standing Thai restaurants – Bangkok Thai and My Thai – but it has been in desperate need of […]

North Fork Fun – Carousels, Seafood & Wine!
This past weekend we headed to Greenport, on the North Fork of Long Island. It’s our fourth trip there and one we all look forward to each year. Greenport was once a whaling and ship building village, as well as a huge oystering center, in the first half of the 20th century. It’s also known […]
Halloween Coming Soon: Common Dentist Questions
As a chocolate lover, I love Halloween. I especially love Halloween in NYC. Unlike the ‘burbs where I grew up – where I often walked half a mile between houses – here in the city, you can fill a Halloween bag in no time! That’s the good news. The bad news is – now that […]
Fabulous Fall Deals in New York!
What makes fall in New York so fabulous? The take-your-breath-away leaf colors in Central Park, extra chocolatey hot chocolate at Serendipity’s, trick-or-treating along NY’s side streets (and secretly high-fiving yourself when someone gives away full-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter cups that mysteriously end up in your bag), and now… Mommybites Fabulous Fall Deals! That’s right – […]
An Old School Italian Market
Looking for fine semolina to make pasta? Fresh mozzarella? Imported olive oil? Then look further than D. Coluccio & Sons in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. There is no shortage of blogs and articles on Coluccio’s, but I feel compelled to spread the word about this extensive, no frills, warehouse-style establishment. D. Coluccio & Sons is a third […]
Homey Latin Food in Park Slope
On a recent Saturday, my husband, our daughter and I headed out for a day in Prospect Park. After a fun day in Park Slope, we ended our outing in a homey restaurant called Colombia. It was one of the first times that we spent a majority of the day outside of the house since […]
Brooklyn Ahoy! Delicious Crabs in Brooklyn
Labor Day weekend always arrives too soon. Not quite ready for the summer to end, we were feeling like we needed one more seaside getaway that didn’t require a lot of travel. So, we headed to Brooklyn Crab in Red Hook, a relatively new seafood place my husband had heard about. To get there, you […]
A New Twist on Tacos
I know what you’re thinking… the taco has been recreated so many times, what can really be new about it? For healthy or vegan Mexican, I go to Blockheads in Manhattan; for a juicy taco with all the fixings, I go to Mezcals; for the real thing, I go to Sunset Park in Brooklyn. For […]
Lemonade Stands
Have you done a lemonade stand with your kids this summer? Target has all of their Lemonade Stand accessories on clearance right now. A few simple supplies can make a wonderful learning experience for your kids. I was pleasantly surprised how focused my son was. He wanted to be a part of everything. It was […]
Staycation in the City
Recently, my husband and I decided that our schedules had been especially hectic. Looking ahead to a fully-planned summer, we were in dire need of some quality time, just the four of us. We didn’t want to deal with the stress (and cost) that goes along with last minute travel plans, so we decided to […]
