Dig Inn Seasonal Market is ready to call Morningside Heights its (seventh) home. A tipster sent us the photo below, satiating our curiosity about what would move into Cardomat’s old spot, vacant for about a year. The chain describes itself as a healthy fast food option, and with most salads around $8 and sandwiches around […]

Bwog’s wallet may be small, but its appetite for not John Jay good food is huge!  With the opening of Chinese restaurant Legend in Morningside Heights, Sichuan supporter Roberta Barnett took one for the team and checked it out.

Zen Palate is replacing Metisse, a French-Brazilian-something-fusion restaurant. ZP has yam fries as well as weird and enticing kinds of tea. Read the menu here.
