Marisa Tom | August 25, 2011 10:15 amCan you believe that Bubby's Pie Company (120 Hudson St., 212-219-0666; 1 Main St., 718-222-0666) has been around for more than 20 years? Without revealing my age, let's just say that's a huge chunk of my lifetime. In a city where restaurants are a dime a dozen, I find it wholly impressive when an eatery can hold its ground and then some.Read More
Marisa Tom | April 20, 2011 12:00 amSliced and made to order, this Tribeca-based homage to Milan's great salumerias (gourmet stores) prepares paninis by its golden rule: No panini shall be pressed, squashed together, or burned to a crisp. Furthermore, all paninis will be created equal. Well, technically, it's a 1:2 ratio, where the bread versus main ingredients are concerned, but who's counting?Read More
Marisa Tom | March 14, 2011 8:10 amI'm about 1/13th Irish, and that's certainly enough reason for me to make today's edition of Monday Detox all about the green. In this case, all things lean, green, clean, and hopefully, tasty, too. You'll recognize some detox favorites thrown into the mix along with some new verdant items to try.Read More
Marisa Tom | March 4, 2011 8:06 amBig news as the Tribeca Film Festival edges closer (we still have over a month, though)! To kick off the 10th annual film festival on Wednesday, April 20 — and as a huge thank you to the New York City community — opening night will consist of a free movie screening of The Union, the Cameron Crowe-directed documentary of Elton John's musical collaboration with rock keyboardist Leon Russell, and a live performance by Elton John following the screening. I'd say that's a fairly decent "thank you."Read More
Marisa Tom | February 14, 2011 8:05 amYou know you need each other, but do you know how to knead each other? That's exactly the objective with Euphoria Spa's (18 Harrison St., 212-925-5925) couples massage spa treatment, fittingly named Kneading Each Other. For this special edition of Monday Detox, don't let your love turn toxic — instead, make it intoxicating.Read More
Marisa Tom | February 10, 2011 8:01 amBluePrintCleanse's sought-after juices couldn't have made a more well-timed debut at Whole Foods Tribeca (270 Greenwich St., 212-349-6555). As I mentioned earlier this week, the Fashion Week folk live for the liquid diet — and while I'd like to believe that we all could survive on cocktails for a week straight, it doesn't seem like the smartest idea. So before you head to the Lincoln Center or to Milk Studios for back-to-back shows, take a slight detour to Whole Foods Tribeca, where the signature BluePrintCleanse juices are sold exclusively.Read More
Marisa Tom | January 18, 2011 8:00 amGym memberships and spa days can be a money-draining or time-commitment nightmare — but I'll save that rant for another day. Tribeca Health & Fitness gives us respite from such setbacks. The health club now boasts a private spa massage cove in addition to three floors of state-of-the-art exercise equipment, weight-lifting stations, a juice bar, and a ridiculously spacious private fitness studio.Read More
