don’t know,
need inspiration –
and you have to eat!
M.F.K. Fisher
I’ll be your guide to a singular and eclectic dining experience in New York City. Explore the riches of the city’s culture through food across the five boroughs. Discover the secret hideaways for everything from the most delicious lamb with cumin, wok-roasted lotus root, and authentic bouillabaisse, to the ultimate slice; from a sky’s-the-limit sake selection to the perfect grassy Riesling.
Whether you’re in town for a week and would like to sample a variety of the best NYC has to offer, or if you are celebrating a special occasion, entertaining an important visitor, or just want to try something new and different, I create food itineraries custom-made to your cravings or dietary restrictions – for vegans, pescatarians and gourmands alike.
Debra is the Pinball Wizard of finding great restaurants in the city.
I am a New Yorker with a passion for good food and an encyclopedic knowledge of most things edible in the Big Apple. Unlike guidebooks or websites, I am up-to-date on the ins and outs of the ever-changing New York City restaurant scene.
