The Nugget Spot
I am a total sucker for a delicious chicken tender or nugget, fried to a perfect crispy crust and juicy inside, so The Nugget Spot is the perfect place to satisfy my nugget fix. There are some non-nugget items on the menu, but obviously the main focus is on their nuggets. If you’re not a fan […]
A Salt & Battery
There’s a lot of food I miss from living in Wisconsin; cheese curds (and they have to be fresh), real brats with pretzel buns, a Culver’s Butter Burger and probably most importantly, a Friday night fish fry.

OddFellows Ice Cream Co.
Now, I hail from the Dairy State and cheese and ice cream are what I live for, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit OddFellows Ice Cream Co. recently when I was working just down the street at the 4th Street Theater. As an Inwood resident, I rarely get down to the East […]
