One of the most disappointing first-tastes I’ve experienced among my Downtown foodie adventures has been at Snack Bar. Perhaps it was the combination of the Pacman ‘C’ in its outdoor signage and its late hours that gave me high hopes for a quirky, midnight-oil dining experience. I’m sorry to say that its thoroughly pedestrian fare

by Jack Bonney Greensboro hosts a number of above average Mexican restaurants, but to me if you really want to talk “authentic” you have to check out some of the amazing Taqueria’s we have in the city. While I haven’t been to all of them my stomach is happy to say it has been to

If you’re at all familiar with the historic college district of UNC Greensboro, chances are you’re also familiar with New York Pizza (or ‘N.Y.P.’) and its bubbly, crunchy-crusted pizza pies. It’s a Greensboro institution, for better or for worse. In my opinion, it is for the better. Every town, regardless of its student population, deserves

Who doesn’t love Mexican food? It’s cheap, sloppy, spicy, and delicious. As far back as I remember the ritual of eating chips and salsa and drinking oversized Mexican beers with friends has been a part of my life.

Usually when I think of a southern kitchen my memory takes me to a place in a small town where I once ate surrounded by senior citizens, flies, and greasy vinyl booths. Lucky 32 is a different kind of southern restaurant. I made my first visit to the gourmet southern dinning room for my 3-year

Summertime beckons of many traditions: flip flops, cannonballs, drinking lemonade and social sundries in the cool shade of a porch, and catching fireflies in Mason jars as the sun goes out with an orange-pink bang. My friends and I started a new summer tradition in 2011 at Cafe Europa. We could be found nearly every

A good friend of mine often hits up The Corner Slice at Fisher Park to eat pizza, drink beer, and watch the Baltimore Ravens games on Sunday. After my visit a few weeks ago I see why it’s the perfect spot for this Sunday ritual. The Corner Slice inhabits an old Sinclair Oil filling station

I have been living in the College Hill neighborhood for over two years now and have eaten at almost every restaurant on Tate Street. Don Japanese Ishiyaki & Ramen was the one exception and the last establishment to mark off my list. The restaurant’s exterior is very modern and “expensive” to the eyes, but once

With the unseasonably warm temperatures we’ve been seeing lately, frozen yogurt definitely isn’t out of the question — personally I think any weather is great for froyo. Yoforia is a regional chain with locations in North Carolina and Georgia that has been open in Greensboro since this past July. They also have an international location

Being somewhat of a chili fanatic, I was more than glad to grab lunch with Keith at one of downtown Greensboro’s veteran restaurants, Cincy’s Downtown. While Olivia has never been to Cincinnati — I have been once when my airplane had a connection flight that was stranded for 6 hours in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International
