The Waffle Dog Takes NYC at Kings of Kobe
Anna Osgoodby Life + Design : The Waffle Dog Takes NYC at Kings of Kobe

I have some serious noms for you on the blog today and today's feature does not disappoint! I'm talking about Kings of Kobe, Hell's Kitchen spot for hot dogs and home of the drumroll.... waffle dog! Say what?!?! After seeing this delicious delight featured on The Chew, I knew I had to head down to the spot and check them out over the weekend. After Chris and I checked out the menu online (with our mouths watering) we realized we not only had to try the waffle dog but also about everything else on the menu. So for the next 3 days Chris and I planned out the different combos of exactly we were going to order. #SoSerious

Finally the weekend had arrived and it was GO time! We ordered a total feast, including two of their hot dogs -- the Manhattanite and Sweet Munchies. As you can see these aren't just any dogs either.. The Manhattanite is topped with caramelized apples, frisee, shaved cheddar, wasabi aioli and the Sweet Munchies has cola soaked caramelized onions and cream cheese -- getting a little of that Seattle flavor! Not only were these totally unique, but the hot dogs are dang good just on their own.

Because I'm also 28 going on 6 we definitely had to order a side of their mac and cheese balls, which were delicious. Even more awesome? They came with garlic aioli. My cheesy and garlic dreams have combined! You know me too.. I'm all about awesome condiments that take foods to the next level.

And then... without further ado... there was.... the waffle dog! Which can we just talk about what a genius idea this is? After day-dreaming about this little treat all week it 100% lived up to all of my food dreams. To make this genius creation even better it comes with a spicy maple syrup dip. Holy noms!!! Guys, if you live in, around or anywhere near NYC, you need to get your butt over to Kings of Kobe and try their deliciousness for yourself!

For an authentic New Orleans experience, you no longer have to get on a plane to Louisiana. Simply take the subway down to the West Village and check out Blackwood Hospitality's new restaurant Gentilly Kitchen + Bar

New Orleans native and Owner of Gentilly, Andre Neyrey and his team have infused the space with the celebratory spirit of the Crescent City. Between the jazz music playing and the inventive list of custom cocktails if you close your eyes you just might forget you're in Manhattan.

The menu at Gentilly reflects creative spins on many NOLA staples. Seafood lovers will certainly enjoy the Low Country Boil which features red fish, clams, mussels, and shrimp prepared with potato and corn in a deliciously spicy broth and The Po' Boys and Classic Muffuletta are the best you will find north of Louisiana. I got to try a taste of the menu at their Grand Opening party and I can promise you one thing, you will not be disappointed. Everything was so full of flavor and just a few bites of their Torchio Mac + Cheese already has it rivaling some of my favorites in the city.

Celebrate National Donut Day NYC Style
Anna Osgoodby Life + Design :: Celebrate National Donut Day in NYC -- 3 of the best spots for donuts in the city

Happy National Donut Day! It sounds funny to say that a food has become 'trendy' but judging by my Instagram feed, this is turning into the year of the donut. Which, by the way, I'm totally okay with since I LOVE donuts! I've talked before about my quest to find good donuts in New York and decided today was the perfect day to do a round-up of some of my favorites!  

Dun-Well Doughnuts

I LOVE Dun-Well Doughnuts! If you've been reading for awhile you've heard them mentioned a time.. or two ;-) I discovered them at Smorgasburg and they've been at the top of my donut list ever since. Their yeast dough is the perfect texture and makes for the perfect compliment to the awesome flavors they offer like Pink Lemonade, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel and Peach Cobbler. I should also mention they're vegan which makes them a friendly choice for all of my vegan friends :)
