One of my favorite go-to restaurants in New York City is Mario Batali’s Otto in the Village. It’s casual yet every dish is made with high-quality ingredients. Best of all, it is right down the street from my sister’s apartment, so its an easy choice when we are craving Italian.

Getting ready for the Super Bowl this weekend? It sure is hopping here in New York City! The city is jam packed with visitors and it seems like everyone is throwing parties, even before the big game! Even Times Square is shut down for a street party they are calling “Super Bowl Boulevard.“
I wanted to get in the Super Bowl spirit with two different dip-in-a-bread-bowl recipes. One to celebrate the Denver Broncos and one in honor of the Seattle Seahawks.

Shrimp, Bacon and Horseradish Dip – Best Blogger Appetizer Recipe Winner
No Comments | Written on January 22, 2014 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
I am so excited to reveal the Editor’s Choice winner from our Best Blogger Appetizer Recipe contest!
This “Shrimp, Bacon and Horseradish Dip“ from Lizzie Munro of “Answers en Croute” has become a new staple in my appetizer repertoire.
It’s one of those recipes where you keep going back (again and again) for just one more bite. It’s a great dip with crackers, but I’m tempted to even try it as part of an open-faced rye bread sandwich.

Just before I arrived I discovered the talents of Mark Jupiter and his showroom in DUMBO, Brooklyn. After seeing his craftsmanship, I knew I had to build my entire studio around one of his pieces.
