Gristedes Gets It Right
My nasty Gristedes burnt down a few months ago. I didn't see it as much of a loss. The market was a grubby dump that had a few canned and bottled staples that I'd deign to purchase from time to time. It was really a deplorable grocery store. Heck, its longstanding nickname in the 'hood was \"Gross-stedes.\"But now, like a phoenix, the Brooklyn Heights Gristedes has risen from the ashes, reborn with a major scrubbing, smart renovation and official grand opening. Taking the place of the once scorned, smelly pit of substandard provisions is a brand-spanking new supermarket with streamlined aisles and glistening cases, where I'd gladly shop -- and already have.How could I poss....

Celsius at Bryant Park
It a big week for New York's newly open-for-the-season ice skating rinks. Bryant Park's rink, which is seasonally surrounded by holiday shops, now has a giant glass restaurant sitting by its side as well. Celsius (housed in a tent previous years) is having a grand opening this weekend in their 7,000 square foot, all glass, two-story building. The balcony overlooking the park and rink is even complete with outdoor heat lamps for staying toasty. They menu was created by the Buddha Bar team, helmed by Chef John Keller and Chef Andy Seidel, and you can expect \"great comfort food with a Canadian accent. Menu items include: Bison and Three Bean Chili, Canadi....

Openings Roundup: OH Restaurant and Lounge, Morton's
OH: Don't expect the Times's Frank Bruni to review it—Portfolio theorizes he HATES going to Harlem—but for everyone else, this three story restaurant/bar seems worth a try. Well, maybe not everyone; the top floor is a member's only club where $500 gets you \"top notch service\" and discount food and drinks. ($1000 gets you \"full VIP access\" to the cigar terrace.) Greasy Guide has a full review and reports that the menu feature....

Snaps To My Server
You knew after my last posting that it wouldn't be long before my longing for smoke would be satisified. It took less than a week for me to give into my craving, hitting Chelsea's RUB - Righteous Urban BBQ - earlier tonight with a similarly 'cue smitten pal.We were both hoping that a half slab of the restaurant's slow-smoked, tender Pork Spareribs and slices of premium Hereford BBQ Beef Brisket would satiate.Not so much. They were okay. They just didn't take us back to Texas or anything.But, even so, we were impressed by RUB -- Not by the food, but by our wa....
