#PeachysPicks A Peachy's Pick Since 2019, #BukharaGrillIndianSpiceRave Since 1999 by #RajaJhanjee #AkshayJhanjee and #ArnavJhanjee #Winter2026 #120East39thStreet between Park and Lexington #Manhattan #NorthernIndian

Founder and Owner Raja Jhanjee with the majestic Chicken Handi Biryani with Raita, a favorite of Peachy Deegan's!  The absolute winner and still champion is the Dal Bukhara:

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know RAJA and his sons!  We told you about their new location in the beginning of 2025, and we were delighted to return recently to the gorgeous bastion of Northern Indian excellence totally designed by this Indian family.  Bukhara Grill Indian Spice Rave is at 120 East 39th Street between Park and Lexington and we were honored to be the very first to review it at this new location.  We particularly like the layout of the venue.  Also new is their stellar Grokipedia!  Along with Spiga and Langan's, it is among the few Restaurant Easters of the Peachy's Picks that have evolved: this means it came back!  Raja has a storied, highly acclaimed history here and was first featured in January 2017, again in October 2017, in May 2019, and it earned Peachy's Pick status in September 2019. Deciding what bread to have here is one of the best problems you can have and we narrowed it down to the pillowy, versatile Onion Kulcha, served piping hot.  It was perfection standalone or with any of the array of talented dishes you'll meet below.

As avid readers know, Peachy Deegan is a huge proponent of seafood.  If you tell Raja that, you might discover that the Methi Machli entree, above, is available in terrific Salmon!  The menu describes this dish as fish cooked in fenugreek: a specialty of the house.  We understand that sometimes the type of fish offered may differ however the Salmon is a fantastic choice.  It arrives every 3 days and there are around six succulent pieces weighing in at about three ounces for each piece, yielding a total of 18 ounces of salmon in your Methi Machli!  It is enchanting to discover.  We would love to see Bukhara Grill have more than two seafood entrees and would love to see them start a fresh green salad section because it would nicely balance out all the spices in a nutritious way.

The golden standard of Indian cuisine is Chicken Tikka Masala, and not all of it is created equally.

Some is just superior!

Pictures don't lie and we don't edit pictures: you excel like Bukhara Grill or we do not publish!

Onion, red and green bell peppers and an amalgamation of premium proprietary spices elevate this quintessential chicken dish roasted in the clay oven and tossed in a luxurious creamy tomato sauce.

It is simplicity at its best.

Bukhara Grill does not rest upon its laurels.

It comes out with new dishes, and as we had not visited in over a year, it was time for Peachy to say enchante to some new friends of plates.  Meet Palak Ke Kotfa: spinach and cottage cheese rounds, reminiscent of golf balls in the world of Peachy Deegan, in a mild sauce.  If Indian cuisine is new to you, we suggest this as a mild start as well as the Chicken Tikka Masala above.

The absolute best thing at all you can eat is the Dal Bukhara at Bukhara Grill.  We always must have it and we always miss it.  You have to order at least two so you can hide one in your fridge because our studies show this dish is so spectacular you will actually dream about it like Peachy and you will be able to make your dreams come true when you have the prepared extra in the fridge!  Every bite of the succulent little black lentils is a rapturous experience as they are carefully cooked over a slow fire to bring them into their greatest glory.

The creativity with chicken dishes is highly laudable at Bukhara Grill, and another new item that jumped out at us that Peachy chose (Peachy chooses everything!) was the Tariwalla Kukkad.  This is a wonderful chicken curry and our second favorite item of the menu after the aforementioned black lentils.  Here, tomatoes and onions saucily smile at the chicken flavored with a proprietary blend of ginger, garlic and spices.  And another vegetarian entree is the Subz Ki Tarkari: freshly mixed vegetables including cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and bell peppers in a mild sauce to wow you.

The final firework was the exquisitely moist and flavorful Chicken Handi Biryani!  The aromatic basmati rice is like a hidden treasure underneath the cover, and the fragrant array of spices will envelop your tastebuds and inform you that you are indeed on a spice vacation with your palate in partaking in this excellence by our friend Raja!

Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada and Prague, Czechia Awarded the Expanded Best-on Best Follow-up to the Electrifying 4 Nations Face-Off; Competition Set for February 2028

The new home of entertainment in Calgary, Scotia Place, and state-of-the-art Rogers Place in Edmonton, both in Alberta, Canada, along with the world-class O2 Arena in Prague, Czechia will host the next edition of best-on-best competition in the World Cup of Hockey 2028. This marks another key milestone in the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) plan for expanded, eight-nation premier international best-on-best hockey. The tournament will be held in February 2028.

Calgary and Edmonton will jointly serve as hosts representing the Province of Alberta. Calgary and Prague will each host seven games – six round-robin and one elimination game in each market - while two semifinal games and the championship game will be held in Edmonton. The tournament will feature 17 games, along with extensive ancillary programming including unique fan events and media days.

“There is no international competition in sports that matches the passion, skill, and excitement of hockey’s best-on-best coming together to represent their countries -- last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off and the recent Winter Olympics were just the latest examples,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We at the National Hockey League and our partners at the National Hockey League Players’ Association can’t wait to bring the World Cup of Hockey 2028 to three spectacular venues in three cities that shine when staging big events. We know Calgary, Edmonton and Prague will serve as fantastic hosts for hockey fans from all over the globe, and that the greatest hockey players in the world will compete on a level that will make this event truly memorable.”

“Coming off the amazing international hockey played at the recent Olympic Winter games, NHL players are very excited to return to international hockey at the World Cup of Hockey 2028,” said Marty Walsh, NHLPA Executive Director. “Calgary, Edmonton and Prague are cities with very deep roots in hockey, and the games will be played in three hockey venues that will be amongst the best in the world. The players cannot wait to don their home country’s sweaters in Alberta and Prague in February 2028.”

“Hosting the World Cup of Hockey at Scotia Place is an exciting moment for Calgary and for hockey fans across Alberta,” said Robert Hayes, President and CEO, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation. “As the future home of entertainment in our city, Scotia Place will provide an incredible stage to welcome the world and showcase Calgary’s passion for hockey. We look forward to hosting this best-on-best tournament with Edmonton and are incredibly grateful to the NHL, NHLPA and our partners for the opportunity to bring one of the game’s premier international events to our province.”

“We are thrilled that Edmonton has been selected as a co-host of the World Cup of Hockey 2028 along with our partners in Calgary,” said Stu Ballantyne, President & COO, OEG Sports & Entertainment. “As seen recently with the 4 Nations Face-Off and Winter Olympic Games, there is nothing like best-on-best hockey, and there is no better place than Alberta, the heartland of hockey, to host the world for one of hockey’s biggest events. We would like to thank the NHL and NHLPA for selecting Alberta, and all the other partners who came together to secure this major international event for our province. Fans, get ready for something special.”

“The return of the World Cup is an extraordinary event for the entire international hockey community. We greatly appreciate the trust shown by the NHL and NHLPA in deciding that the tournament will be played in the Czech Republic for the first time,” said Tomáš Petera, owner of Perinvest Group, which will organize the event in the Czech Republic. “I see this tournament as an opportunity to confirm our position as one of Europe’s key hubs for hosting major sporting events. We expect strong international interest, high attendance and a significant economic impact on the Czech Republic.”

The expression of interest phase for the host cities and venues began in June 2025. The NHL and NHLPA launched a formal RFP (request for proposal) phase for the 28 cities across North America and Europe in the running to host the tournament. The RFP process was supported by Playfly Sports, a leading sports marketing and media company with deep experience in major international events.

The state-of-the-art arena, currently under construction, will be home to the NHL’s Calgary Flames, WHL’s Calgary Hitmen and AHL’s Calgary Wranglers starting with the 2027-28 season. The venue will be in the heart of Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District downtown. Calgary is Canada’s fastest growing large city with a track record for welcoming the world. More than a million people visit the world-famous Calgary Stampede each summer to experience hospitality like no other. Named the friendliest city in the world in 2023, Calgary is the winter sport capital of Canada hosting multiple world cups each year as an enduring legacy of the 1988 Winter Olympics.

Known as Canada’s festival city and ranked Canada’s #1 sports city by Burson’s 2025 Global Sports Cities report, Edmonton’s proven track record for hosting large-scale events includes the Stanley Cup Final, the first-ever Heritage Classic outdoor game in 2003, the 2023 NHL Heritage Classic, the IHF World Juniors, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the JUNOs, and more.

Prague, the capital of Czechia, has hosted three IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships (2004, 2015, 2024), numerous tennis championships and world-renowned marathons, cultural festivals and global conferences. Prague sits alone as the city that has hosted the second-most NHL regular season games outside North America, with all nine contests held at O2 Arena. The venue is one of the most modern multipurpose arenas in Europe.

The World Cup of Hockey 2028 is part of a regular schedule of international ice hockey competition involving NHL Players, which began with the overwhelming success of the 4 Nations Face-Off, continued with participation in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games and is expected to be followed up with the French Alps 2030 Olympic Winter Games.

This edition of the tournament marks the fourth World Cup of Hockey in history, following successful events in 1996, 2004, and 2016. For more information, visit NHL.com/wcoh. Additional details, including ticket information and broadcast schedule, will be announced in the coming months.

#InauguralReview #UndergroundPizza Since 1982 by #BenedettoDavi 3 Hanover Square #Downtown #Manhattan

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we are always thrilled to discover a pizza place new to us, namely, Underground Pizza by Founder, Executive Chef and Owner, Benedetto Davi.  The name alone is a winner as it is reminiscent of one of the best people whom we ever met, Tony.  Originally from Palermo, Sicily, Ben arrived in New York at age 9 in 1971 and he grew up in Manhattan's Little Italy!  The country Italy's loss is your stomach's gain.  Though it is no longer literally underground, Underground Pizza once was which is how it got its name and today it is located at 3 Hanover Square in Downtown Manhattan.  This is our first visit ever here.  Downtown Manhattan navigation can get tricky: it's the original spot of the whole city as you probably know, way before the grid.  However, we have every confidence you know where Delmonico's is as Peachy has constantly raved about it, so if you stand in front of Delmonico's and turn around with your back to 56 Beaver Street, in front of you you will see this pizza.  Obviously, if your nose is working you will also smell the sensational scent.

The first edible we encountered was the traditional building block: the plain cheese 18 inch large.   It was cheesy perfection and crisp and piping hot.  The truth is it looked so fantastic you know the Pizza Eater in Chief could not wait and she nearly burnt her mouth in enthusiasm.  Wait for it to cool a little.  Crisp, fresh, piping hot and just what we were looking for, it set the bar high for the rest of what we considered.

Note that absolutely everything here is made to order, and is therefore super fresh.

We also like the cheerful doggie mascot and if you like dogs too, it adds extra fun.

The Caesar Salad was a classic with Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano too, and we chose to add grilled chicken.  Note everything was well-cut in this example and for everything we ordered, it was well-cut.  This is a details aspect that not all pizza places execute.  We like nuances like this.  This was dressed, as ordered.

We have a lot of experience eating Greek Salads, so we like to see how other people do them.  Romaine, feta cheese, olives, tomato and red onions in perfect proportion were the ultimate in fresh in the dead of winter, a feat few pizza places achieve further attesting to the initial excellence we encountered.  And believe it or not, Ms. Uberpicky I do not like practically anyone's salad dressing said she liked this one, which is bespoke and made in a proprietary Balsamic method by Benedetto himself.  Not all pizza places have Calzones and when they do there are only a couple of choices.  The Calzone itinerary here is impressive and we tried for probably the first time- the first time Peachy remembers anyway at the moment: a Meatball Calzone.  The Meatballs are all-beef and delicious and enveloped inside along with the cheese.  The fabulous Marinara is the party on the side and it gives you the opportunity to play with your food and dunk it with your pinkie out of course.  Every tomato sauce item on this menu is crafted with Nina San Marzano tomatoes, adding to the quality.

Shrimp Parmesean is not found everywhere but when we discover it done as well as it was done at Underground Pizza, it is a special highlight.  You may look at the picture and say: Peachy, that looks like Chicken Parm.  Well, we ate it and can verify that it is indeed Shrimp.  Plus, if you have ever met her, you know Peachy's intimidating height brings you an understanding of her natural kinship with shrimp.  So naturally, you know she had to try the Chicken Parm and it arrived in all its shining glory as an entree.  Avid readers know of our high affection for Chicken Parm done well everywhere (some of the best Peachy's Picks here) and our first encounter with Chicken Parm by Benedetto Davi was a positive one.  It was perfectly pounded, luxuriating in sauce and further highlighted by lovely Penne served al dente.  They use Barilla pasta.

The pasta section alone could be its own restaurant with around 18 choices.

Penne with Spinach, Chicken, Garlic and evoo is a modern classic to behold and again, every item was in bite-size pieces evidencing the attention to detail we found this trip.  The flavor was even better and as springtime comes, this is on the lighter side for a sunny day.

The pizza choices are even more infinite and the only limit is your imagination.

Peachy favors vegetables on pizza all year but especially during Lenten Fridays, and Underground Pizza presented us with exactly what we ordered: spinach, mushrooms, garlic, onions and tomatoes bruschetta-style in perfect tandem waltzing on the fresh, crisp crust that you have to have.

Not all pizza is created equally.

Some is just better!

And we never edit pictures: this is the truth of all we tried and think you ought to try too.

Finally, the simplicity of the Chicken Roll hits the spot as it is surrounded by pillowy dough baked just right ready to cannonball into the spectacularly pleasing marinara.

Underground Pizza really impressed us on our first visit, and we look forward to seeing what they do next.

#InauguralReview #HimalayaOrganicVeganRestaurant Since February 14, 2026 by #ChuBu #1425YorkAvenue #UpperEastSide

The newest place in town might also be the most unique: Himalaya Organic Vegan Restaurant!  The name is a mouthful, and so are the details of how it works.

Let us preface this by saying this is not how any other place we have ever seen works.

The menu changes every day, and the lunch menu is separate from the dinner menu.

Everything is Vegan.

Everything is Organic.

And it is authentically Himalayan as Chu Bu himself was born in Tibet and came to New York in 2007.  Up until now, he has worked for others and this is his first venture into entrepreneurship.

Lunch is 11am to 4pm.

Dinner is 4pm to 9pm.

So, for the food, we did not pick out anything.

We are showing you what was being served when we visited.

There is one simple meal at each lunch or dinner and Chu Bu, the founder and owner, decides on what it is and you will be able to see it on the website as it happens. (Not in advance.)

There will be six items for the meal.

Above, please meet black eyed peas, and we understand proprietary spices, red and green cabbage are incorporated into this.  It's truly authentic and everything is made from scratch.

Next, meet a mixture of collard greens and kale!

On it, you will discover a completely new flavor with the leek brown mushroom sauce.

This was the dinner food item we liked best.

It's the Green Split Pea soup, which also features green and yellow onion blended in as well as ginger.  It was one of the more fragrant items to us although as a group all was fresh and authentic.  It goes without saying with the healthy philosophy here, there is no liquor license.

They listened and put the dressing on the side, as is our preference, and this is spearmint lemon agave dressing.  This entire experience is like going on a fresh vacation because it is highly likely you have not had any of this cuisine before either.

Butternut squash with kabocha yam is quite fragrant and inviting, and is a starring character in our humble opinion.  The long grain brown rice, below, sings backup.  There is no one item that we had that we feel would not go well with the other items, but of course what you think is your personal preference.  We found the entire experience detoxifying and invigorating.

Even better than the food are the drinks. 

If we saw more impressive juice places, as a whole this group would be featured more.

Above is the berry green smoothie, which is thicker.

Believe it or not, there are berries in it.  The spinach in it seems color-dominant.  While you taste the berries in it, to us, this is not looking berry-like.

The Celery Ginger Carrot Juice, below, is another winner for both flavor and invigorating qualities.

Our favorite however was the Orange Ginger Lemon.  It was delicious and made Peachy feel like a superhero.

Desserts can be healthy!

It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that Peachy liked the chocolate pie the best.  Chu says it is 100 percent chocolate and it boasts a pecan and almond crust.

We look forward to seeing what they do next!
