If your Jewish mother puts the chicken through the deflavorizor, read today’s Not For Tourists Guidebook New York page for renewed hope. Also read it if your Jewish mother cooks a mean brisket like mine does. Go ahead and read it even if you don’t have a Jewish mother at all.

Read today’s Not For Tourists Guidebook NYC page for some unkind words about Lou Dobbs and some kind ones about Anne Saxelby of

Saxelby Cheesemongers.

Read today’s Not For Tourists DC Page, and discover a Burmese restaurant with a Palestinian/ Guatemalan/ Irish bartender who serves the strongest vodka tonic in predominantly African-American Silver Spring, Maryland. Oh, and that bartender also happens to be my best friend since 7th grade (but that doesn’t mean that what I wrote about her isn’t true).

Wait Till Next Year

I’ll be happy if Alfonso Soriano stays a Washington National next year. But if he goes anywhere, I hope it is back to the Yankees. Either way, read yesterday’s Not For Tourists Guidebook Washington, DC page for an idea on where to eat in the area between the Capitol and RFK Stadium.

This is NOT for tourists

I hope you’ve been checking in to Not For Tourist Guidebook every day. If you haven’t, may I suggest you do so today. Both the New York page (Randazzo’s Seafood in The Bronx) and the DC page (Roger’s Produce in Potomac, Maryland) have blurbs written by some crazy cabbie.

Also, I’ve missed a couple opportunities to link to my blurbs in the past few weeks, so you can belatedly click below for those as well.

If Virginia is for lovers and Maryland is for crabs, the Lower East Side is for smoked whitefish. But check out today’s Not For Tourists Guidebook New York page to learn where else one might find a niiiice smoked fish:

Stuffed To The Gills

All-you-can-eat sushi makes some people nervous. But it just makes me excited. Check out the “Tracts” section of Not For Tourists Guidebook’s New York page for a long, sole-searching piece I wrote on a magical neighborhood deep in Brooklyn where all-you-can-eat sushi is a way of life:

Double Deckers and Half Price

Posted in Alphabet City, DC, Manhattan, Posts For Not For Tourists, Sushi at 1:46 pm by Administrator

Take a look at Not For Tourists Guidebook’s New York City page as well as their Washington, D.C. page. I’ve already mentioned that I’m not afraid to admit I enjoy fast food. And you could have guessed that half-priced sushi would make me happy:

New York: Sushi Lounge

DC: Taco Bell

This just in: since I’ve eaten at that Taco Bell, the area around it has been torn down to make way for some condos. The Taco Bell may be soon to follow. In that case, consider the story an obit.
