AlwaysPartying: Taste of Tribeca
Arthur Bovino — May 17, 2010
Clockwise from top: Centrico’s Ceviche, and Marco Canora plating a dish for Terroir Tribeca, at the 2010 Taste of Tribeca.
At Saturday’s Taste of Tribeca, live music was playing, Drew Nieporent was on hand, and Duane Street between Greenwich and Hudson was packed with New Yorkers trading punch-cards for samples from more than 60 of the neighborhood’s restaurants and businesses.
Proceeds were dedicated to arts and enrichment programs at local public schools, PS 150 and PS 234. Bouley and Blaue Gans, Bar Artisanal and Bubby’s. Tribeca Grill, The Harrison, and Marc Forgione, they were all present, just to name a few.
The line for Walker’s Pulled Pork Sandwiches stretched the longest, but with this many participants choosing six tastes allowed by one ticket proved difficult. Favorites included: Pepolino’s Pappa al Pomodoro, Plein Sud’s Duck Liver Mousse, and Duane Park Patisserie’s Molten Chocolate Cake.
But Bouley Upstairs and Bouley scored with interesting textures in their Tofu with Truffled Dashi, and Strawberry and White Chocolate Parfait. Whether or not they were shooting for the slightly ice-crystallized fruit layers in the latter, it was an effect that really worked.

AlwaysHolidays: On the Twelfth Day of Christmas
Arthur Bovino and Maryse Chevrière — December 23, 2009
Technically, the Twelve Days of Christmas don’t start until Christmas Day, but we’re already in the spirit. To celebrate, here’s the final verse of the carol, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ AlwaysHungry-style, featuring some dishes we tasted in 2009 that we’d be willing to sing about.
Twelve Drummers Drumming. A drummer beats a drum. But the only kind of beat we’re going to recognize in this carol is the beet you can eat.
Today’s final verse of our Christmas food carol begins:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my waiter brought to me… twelve beets for eating,
From Lupa, Beets with Pistachio.
AlwaysHungryNY: Tribeca Film Festival Eating
April 20, 2009
This year’s Tribeca Film Festival runs from April 22nd – May 3rd. If you’re AlwaysHungry and have the opportunity to check out a flick, you’re going to want to grab a bite before or after the curtain closes. Some restaurants are offering their own festival-related promotions, like VietCafe’s 10% discount or Bread’s extended Happy Hour for festival employees and volunteers. But, the majority of restaurants are participating in American Express’ Tribeca Film Feast partnership. With a reservation and the mention of the “TFF 2009” promotional code, lucky Amex card holders will be able to capitalize on fantastic dining deals throughout the festival’s tenure in TriBeCa. We have put together the ultimate TriBeca Film Festival eating list so that you can pay more attention to the movies and let AHNY help you with the eating.
