Dining in Manhattan: Asiadog

Posted in Brunch, Dinner, Lunch, Restaurants with tags , , , , , , , , on August 29, 2011 by quiksilverpronyguide

Ever find yourself craving a delicious, juicy, grilled organic (chicken, beef or veggie) hot dog topped with, say, kimchi or Asian sesame slaw?  Or Japanese curry with kimchi apples?  Or spicy ketchup, jalapeño mustard, and crushed salt and pepper potato chips? (Can you tell we’re hungry?) Asiadog’s got you covered.  Started in the back yard of a friend’s bar, Asiadog has expanded to locations that include the Brooklyn Flea, Central Park’s Summerstage, Terminal 5, and pretty much any in-the-know event.  They even opened their own shop on the border of Chinatown, and it’s the perfect place to grab a bite whilst kicking around Nolita or Soho.

Feeling a little rundown, and the Quiksilver Pro hasn’t even started yet?  Too many nights at Mother’s Ruin effectively ruining YOU?  A SoCal’er missing Erewhon or Mother’s Market?  Then do what the locals do: go to Bob’s Natural Foods.  Owners Bob and Allison have owned and operated the store since 1975, making them Long Island’s oldest independent natural food store.  In addition to their cafe that carries smoothies, vegan and gluten-free specials, organic fruit juices, wraps and sammies, Bob and Allison also have a huge assortment of vitamins – key for those B12 mornings – as well as an entire all-natural grocery store.  Even better, Bob’s is just around the corner from the Allegria and the contest site.

Drinking in Brooklyn: Saint Vitus

Posted in Bars/nightlife, Brooklyn, Local tips with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 10, 2011 by quiksilverpronyguide

As the name implies, Saint Vitus is a straight-up metal bar with live bands, Kill ‘Em All metal karaoke, and a weekly hardcore night.  $3 buns (cheese steak, sausage, bbq tofu and more) sop up booze specials like the Pope: a Coors Banquet tall boy and shot of Tullamore Dew with a Brooklyn Brine pickleback.  If we could live here, we would.  All hail Saint Vitus.
