Albert is away this weekend for a stag night so I have the weekend to myself…whatever shall I do?! Albert and I recently stopped by the Sperry store so Albert could pick up some docksiders.

Liz raved about the seasonal goodness of Table, the restaurant where she had made a reservation during out visit. The menu is farm to table, and it felt like the table we were seated at upstairs was in the middle of someone’s living room. I was immediately comfortable. Bring on the food. The menus were…

In New York, diners are both common and cherished. In DC, they’re not so prevalent, so I was happy to discover The Diner in Liz’s Adams Morgan neighborhood.

Just because I had the day off on Friday doesn’t mean I was going to order Seamless for lunch. I knew I’d be spending a good bit of money over the weekend, so there was no need to pay for lunch on what was still technically a weekday. I took advantage of some leftovers and…

On Saturday Albert and I wanted to celebrate his getting his bonus with lobster rolls and a boat ride on the Hudson. Unfortunately, due to Summer Streets (where Park Avenue is closed to traffic on Saturdays in August), it took us half an hour in a cab to make it less than half way to…

Though scallops sound ambitious, they’re actually the best thing to make when you’re in need of a quick and easy weeknight meal. They take almost zero time to cook and require very little seasoning so if you can find them on sale, grab em! Start by cooking your asparagus (one bunch should cover three people).…
