Simply The Best #45 (Tasting Menus)

#5 – Bar-bo-ne – Since almost every other place is going to cost you $100 and up a piece I thought i’d highlight a place that I really like that is not expensive at all and a tremendous value. Bar-bo-ne is an Italian restaurant and wine bar in the East Village that has an amazing [...]

SImply The Best #41 (Rum)

# 5 – Flor De Cana Extra Dry (Nicaragua) – I’ve seen all kinds of mixed reviews of Flor De Cana’s youngest rum, the 4 year aged “extra dry” bottling. It’s not a rum full of depth and flavor but that’s not really what I’m looking for when I’m using a light rum to make [...]
