"An editor for Bloomberg, Silvia Killingsworth has also been the series editor of the Best New American Food Writing anthology since 2018. She’s written about the ethics of eating octopus, and these days, she’s mostly meatless — more because of her husband than her own preferences: “I’m definitely more conflicted than I was before I met my husband.”" Edited by Chris Crowley --- For Silvia's full Grub Street diet, click the link below.

Omar Mediterranean Cuisine

Mediterranean restaurant · Midtown East

"After lunch I head out for my jab and walk ten blocks north to a CVS on Third Avenue. I’m depressed to see the number of food establishments that have gone out of business in the past year, but the two I care about most are still going: Omar’s on East 55th Street..."

Land Of Plenty

Sichuan restaurant · Midtown East

"... and Land of Plenty on East 58th Street. I can’t wait to get back."

Katagiri

Japanese grocery store · Midtown East

"In the Before Times, my colleague Jim Aley would often go to Katagiri, the Japanese grocery store a few blocks from the office, and return with bags and bags of fruit gummies. He used to launch them across the desks at whoever wanted any. I miss that."

Sal's Pizza Store

Permanently Closed

"Fridays are pizza nights, always. When we lived in Brooklyn we had a tradition: an extra large cheese pie from Sal’s on Court Street."

Pizza School NYC

Cooking class · Lower East Side

"You may not know this about me, but I’m a classically trained pizza scholar. I went to pizza school, a.k.a. Pizza a Casa on the Lower East Side. Theirs is a quick dough; I use Saf Instant Yeast and let it rise for an hour if I can stand it."
