I'm Angela Gaimari and New York is the city where I work, play and eat. I've reviewed restaurants for Time Out and Citysearch, interviewed some of the city's best chefs for NYMag.com's Grub Street and I work as a copywriter, too. This blog is my homage to New York food--plus a bit of pop culture and fun stuff to spend your paycheck on. Share the love and your suggestions newyorkavores!

I sometimes forget that I am one-eighth Dutch. My Irish half I bring up whenever I’ve had too many drinks or I crave corned beef and cabbage; my Italian quarter comes out when I speak NewYorkese, make gravy on Sundays or otherwise act like a guidette; and my Polish eighth was alive and well when I lived on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint. Dutch self-identification has eluded me, perhaps because I don’t know much about the food or culture. I aimed to remedy this last night by stopping into Vandaag, a new Dutch/Danish resto in the East Village. Here we had some inventive plates made using Hudson Valley produce washed down with refreshingly sparse Genever cocktails — all in a serene minimalist setting. Goede times.
