There was already a line outside ZM-Illennial cafe when I arrived at 10:30 a.m., a queue snaking around the building despite the drizzle. The cafe is in the Nam District of Busan, South Korea, some 15 minutes away from a sun-bathed coastline that draws tourists from all over the country. ZM-Illennial has become a major […]...

Eater’s under-$25 holiday gift guide is, unabashedly, one of my favorites to curate during gift guide season — both as a shopping writer and a writer who lives, laughs, loves to shop. I live for the thrill of a thrifty find; that rush of finding the perfect gift that somehow comes in way under budget […]...

These chefs dedicate their lives to the smallest details of a cuisine: the optimal temperature for the oil when frying tempura, the perfect texture for sushi rice, the ideal sear on grilled unagi.

If the colorful Bauhaus French press on my nightstand could talk, all $30 of its retail price — not to mention its immeasurable value in joy and whimsy — would remind you that a present doesn’t have to be wildly expensive to be great; it just has to be thoughtful. As a fastidious, near-obsessive gift […]...

I grew up in Elmhurst, Queens, not far from Jackson Heights. It was a very mixed neighborhood, but it did have a lot of South Asian kids. In the ’70s, I remember always going to Jackson Heights on Saturday to the temple, to go grocery shopping for all our Indian groceries, and to bring home […]...

When the New York City Indian restaurant Adda transformed from a casual Queens canteen to a swankier Manhattan hot spot, it ditched the butter chicken that diners at the original location knew and loved — its best-selling dish, at $23 per order.
