Time Out New York

If there's anywhere in New York that knows how to deli, it's Russ & Daughters. And if there's anywhere in New York that knows ice cream, it's Morgenstern’s Finest. So fittingly, the two local icons have come together to do what both do best to create the most New York sweet treat in recent memory.

Russ & Daughters and Morgenstern's have made the New Yorkiest dessert

A new taco joint is always exciting news, but even more so when it's one clandestinely set in a hidden courtyard. Case in point: Tacalle, a street-level taqueria tucked away behind Midtown’s new Grayson Hotel (19 W 38th Street). Just a few blocks from Bryant Park, the hotel's quaint backyard feature a show-stopping mural, colorful flags, twinkling bistro lights and a vintage food truck turning out fresh tacos, margaritas and more.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

We love New York City, we really do, but when it’s a scorching week like this one, we dream of much milder, greener pastures. And if you, too, want to escape the city this season, we’ve got good news: one of NYC’s most high-profile chefs is heading upstate next month for a cool dinner series.

The color yellow is gorgeous, eye-catching, and downright happy for most people. So much so that it's the main hue in the world-famous happy face—but science says it's not the best color to wear on a date.

Little Grenjai first got on our radar with its Thai and American mash-up, the Krapow Smash Burger—a gushed-about item from their summer pop-up days. The smash burger is still one of its most popular bites, so much so that the phrase, “Burger is only available for lunch” is stamped all over its website. And it is no surprise why. Here, the burger is seasoned with chili, basil, and oyster sauce before it's smashed and dressed with a lemongrass and bird’s eye chili giardiniera. One bite, and we were sold. But something tells us that its upcoming collaboration with a local Detrioit-style eatery will have us hooked, too.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.
