In a New York State of mind … Here are some pics from my fabulous weekend with Rachel. We didn’t plan this but somehow we managed to eat Indonesian food, Nepalese and Singaporean Malaysian food all in the span of a couple days. Wowza, only in New York!

📸: This is a @joedistefanoqns pick in Elmhurst, Queens. He says @asiantaste.86 is the oldest Indonesian restaurant. When I saw his video of the nasi bungkus platter, I put it at the top of my list to try. This one had fried tilapia and this incredible green chile sauce, very fishy delicious.

-I didn’t really take pictures of the meal but @sushikaitonyc is the best omakase deal I’ve ever experienced. $115 gets you 17 courses with premium fish, in a Japanese minimalist sushi counter. 10/10

- Rachel showing up with two bonkers soups from @padidnyc inside the @urbanhawker food hall. The darker one is a fishy sweet noodle soup called mee rebus. The other coconutty one is called lontong, and it had these hearty rice cakes in there that reminded me of matzah balls. They call this Singaporean malay food.

- @dawasnyc is a chic Nepalese gem in Sunnyside, Queens with a boho aesthetic and gorgeous platewear. some locals recommend the citrus salad, which had yogurt in it. I enjoyed but I was more impressed with these veggie momos and the rich squash stew, called farsi.

-Suddenly I looked at Rachel and I had one of those aha moments, like I was seeing her in a new way. She’s always been a New Yorker I just didn’t know!

30 SECOND REVIEW: It's been a while since I had visited @barcarolina_sthyarra, so I was excited to see what new owner @karen_martini had done with the place.

Turns out, a bit has changed, but not too much.
The food is still classically Italian, with a Martini twist. 🍸
And it's the perfect spot to drink negronis, with a @mattscravat twist 😜

HYDERABADI FEAST IN FRISCO 🇮🇳🥘

As you can see we tried a lot of items 🔥 Out of the apps, our favorite was the fried cauliflower. My wife thought it was the best thing on the menu 🤤

Out of the main dishes, that biryani is a must and everything had so much flavor. Majority of the stuff is spicy fyi for the weaklings 👀🌶️

FORT WORTH GYRO SPOT 🔥🥙

More than their gyro items, I liked the fried fish. So crunchy and seasoned nicely 😋
Out of all the gyro options, I liked the gyro burger the best.

Solid spot to check out when in the area

DFW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT 🍔 🔨

We liked their burgers but liked their chicken sliders and wraps more tbh. So much flavor especially when you have it with their orange spicy sauce 🔥

Their combo deals are amazing 🤩

This week, my @d_magazine colleagues and I threw dinners at both locations of @writtenbytheseasons to celebrate Dallas Veggie Week, our weeklong series about vegetarian and vegan cooking in Dallas, fresh produce, and the diversity of meatless dining in a city that is still falsely labeled "meat and potatoes." Written by the Seasons proved our point with a spectacular menu celebrating all kinds of veggies. Red kuri squash in a spicy curry; a marvelous beetroot carpaccio that won over at least two guests who thought they hated beets; roasted root veg (super tender turnips!) and terrific lentils; two dessert choices. (I attended both dinners so I tried em both. What a life.)

It was a joy to meet our readers and talk about dining out in Dallas - by the way, fewer than half our guests were vegetarian. The idea that everyone in this town WANTS steak every night is another myth, busted. We got to taste some dishes I'm hoping might appear on a WBTS menu soon. And we at D Mag got to test a format you might see more of next year. We're hoping 2026 will bring more sit-down dinner experiences for our readers. And heck, maybe Veggie Week will become Veggie Month. Less
