A BURGER IN QUEENS

de matthewhranek@gmail.com (Matthew Hranek)

Two brothers (of the palm steak house family) have branched off to open the burger garage in
long island city. They are grilling up a pat la frieda burger mix (across from the citicorp building)
with real old school style. Simple, griddle fried patties, pickles and fixings on a martin's potato
bun. They are also taking some cues from their steak house days with their perfectly golden
fried onions. I thought it was great. I was so excited to try the two burgers we ordred i forgot to
take the before pics. Sorry, go see (and eat) them yourself.

chris harth is a native minnesotan living in brooklyn. he's making hand crafted knives, end grain
cutting boards and hardwood charcoal under the name ny cutlery. all his materials are
reclaimed, the metal comes from used saw mill blades and the handles are hardwood scrap
from a furniture makers bin. he is also making charcoal that comes from (glue free) oak scrap.
this stuff burns hot and fast, the kind you want to cook your dry aged ribeye over. all good stuff.

I don't normally take much food advice from vegetarians (no offense) but my buddy jonathan
(who is) said this was one of the best slices in nyc. He's right. Located on 8th ave at 31th st.

Another reason why you shouldn't waste your time in the shake shack line. Just a few blocks up
from madison square park at the ace hotel is number 7 sub. Simply delicious.

SALUMERIA BIELLESE:NYC

de matthewhranek@gmail.com (Matthew Hranek)

Don't be fooled by the steam table of cheese smothered ziti, this place makes some of the best
salumie on the east coast. (endorsed by slow food) you can order a sandwich to eat in or take
out or buy some cacciatorini for home. Hot tip: their duck rillette is amazing. It's not always
displayed in the deli case, so ask for it.

No Sales Tax! More Stores! Closer to NYC! Coupon Book!

Jersey Gardens is one of the most popular Outlet Malls on the

East Coast. It’s also the largest Outlet Mall in New Jersey. The Best Part of this mall is that
there’s almost no sales tax! New Jersey does not charge sales tax on clothing, which is a great start.
But Jersey Gardens takes tax savings to a new level. Because it’s in an Urban Enterprise Zone,
sales tax on non-clothing items is only 3 1/2 percent. As a result, you’ll save money even before
you benefit from the outlet low prices.
Save lots of money shopping at over 200 stores, including Neiman Marcus Last Call, Saks Fifth
Avenue Off 5th, Abercrombie & Fitch, Old Navy, Aeropostale, Tommy Hilfiger, Ecko Unlimited,
Victoria’s Secret, Juicy Couture, Sean John, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, New York & Co.,
Nike, Bath & Body Works, BCBG Max Azria, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Marshall’s, Brooks Brothers,
and Burlington Coat Factory.

En busca del outlet perfecto

Mary Esther Campusano | 2013/01/17

Si te encantan las compras y que estas no arruinen tu bolsillo debes ir de viaje a Nueva York.
¿El motivo? La capital de la moda te permitirá comprar ropa de marca a precio de fábrica.
¿Dónde? En sus numerosos "outlets" que se encuentran al completo en diversas zonas de la
Gran Manzana.
Pero si viajas a Nueva York por pocos días, te recomendamos que pases un día
enManhattan para que acudas a Daffy’s, Syms y Century 21 que ofrecen ropa de marca a
muy buenos precios y con descuentos espectaculares.
Si tienes varios días para recorrer Nueva York, no debes perderte su ruta de outlets, esta
empieza en Woodbury Common, no puedes dejar de visitar Jersey Gardens que aunque no
cuenta con tantas tiendas como Woodbury se encuentra más cerca de la ciudad.

importantes descuentos desde el 25 % hasta un increíble 65%. Entre las marcas que
encontrarás mencionamos Prada, Adidas, Calvin Klein, Armani, Dolce & Gabana, Diesel,
Roberto Cavalli, Guess, entre otras.
Aunque tengas que madrugar (el outlet se encuentra a casi dos horas de Manhattan), lo mejor
es que llegues temprano, el horario de las tiendas es de 10.00 a 21.00 y ve sin tiempo ya que
ir de compras a estos lugares es cuestión de pasarse todo un día entre sus tiendas.
Si andas corta de tiempo, ve a Jersey Gardens donde encontrarás tiendas Gap, Guess, H & M,
