Dishcrawl is a Silicon Valley Startup that gathers your
soon-to-be closest friends in a wonderful setting of eating, drinking and
socializing at 4 different restaurants in a neighborhood in one night. The crawls
start at $26.00/head and increases depending on the area or the restaurants
that are featured for that night.

July 19 2011 marks the re-launch of Dishcrawl in New York
City. We crawled through the neighborhood of Chelsea and had a taste of the
offerings of People’s Pops, Tuck Shop, Crooked Knife and Honey.

The starting point of Dishcrawl Chelsea.
People's Pops and Tuck Shop has outlets inside the Chelsea Market. |
People’s Pops
People’s Pops was born out of a one-day experiment out of a
hunch that the world deserves a better ice pop. They transform local,
sustainably-grown fruits and herbs into creative, delicious home-made ice pops
and shave ice. We had shaved ice, and we had the option to choose between three
flavors - Rhubarb, Red Plum and Organic Lemon. Their shave ice is so earth-friendly
that they use a manual hand shaver over a huge block of ice.
In this sweltering 90-degree weather, it definitely was a
refreshing kickstart to the crawl.

Mmmeat pie! We sampled a small Traditional Meat Pie made
with ground beef filling that is housed in flaky, buttery,
something-to-write-home-about goodness crust! This Australian import has a pie
filling selection that caters to the different palates of New Yorkers: Thai
Green Chook* Curry, Lamb Shank and
Vegetable, Guinness Steak and Mushroom, BBQ Pork , Mac n Cheese, and Vegetable made with seasonal vegetables. Other things on
the menu are rolls and sides and they have a daily special.
(*Chook - Chicken)
Their 2 other outposts in the East Village are open late –
and these babies really hit the late night snack spot.

For our third stop, we headed on to CK 14 – Crooked Knife at
14th Street. Cold Gazpacho soup in shot glasses was first passed
around then the Hummus with Olive Tapenade and Pita Bread and finally Moule
Frites. Tucked away half a floor below the sidewalk, this charming gastropub is
a hidden gem well-worth finding. They have seatings that suit every type of
party, whether it be a huge group spread out over the couches, regular and pub dining
tables and in the warmer months, they have a patio open out in the back for al
fresco dining.

Our last stop for this crawl, Honey welcomed us with a DJ
spinning dance music. An ideal place to throw a dance party, Honey does not
disappoint. We had Quesadillas and Buffalo Chicken wings with our drinks (not
included in the Dishcrawl deal). Not to worry, Honey has happy hour everyday from 5-pm where all drinks are $5 each. We were all having fun hanging out when the
music changed and a belly dancer came out to entertain the group. Everyone was
enchanted and this performer was really good in making the Dishcrawlers participate
in the revelry. At this point, we all know that the relaunch of Dishcrawl in
New York is a dancing, hip-shaking success!

When the dancing was done our energies were once again
pumped with plates of chocolate fondue!
Dishcrawling is a very good social and culinary experience. This
activity is good for groups, couples and singles alike. The atmosphere is very
relaxed and calm. Everyone who came gave Dishcrawl their full trust that
their tastebuds won’t be disappointed.
Will I do it again? You bet. Im going to the truck crawl
that’s happening in Union Square tonight.
