I’m settling into a good mix of activities and downtime lately. I actually don’t have anything planned this weekend (a first!) so I think it may be time to check out a restaurant or two. I recently tore up the town at a bachelorette party for my friend Ashley and her sister did a wonderful…

I’ve known about Via Quadronno ever since I lived a couple avenues away on 73rd street when I first moved to New York. I first noticed it as a cute and narrow café on my way to the park on a sunny weekend. It looked like the perfect place to grab a quick brunch or…

There were no margaritas, maracas, or sombreros. But there were tacos and we all know that’s the most important part. I’m sure you read…

Deep in the Lower East Side near Chinatown you’ll find 169 Bar, one helluva dive. All I had to hear was that they have a $5 shot + beer deal and all my reservations of traveling that far for a party disappeared. There are all sorts or random lights and objects hanging off the walls…

Kunjip, you elusive K Town restaurant, you evade me no longer! I finally arrived for dinner early enough to avoid the 45 minute (minimum) line and was seated a mere 15 or 20 minutes after arrival. Contributing to the line is the fact that it is smaller than most K Town restaurants, but the food…

This past weekend finally showed us some warm weather and I can’t help but get my hopes up that it will continue to feel like spring. My friend Brian is full on amazing. He has revitalized the under-served school system of New Orleans and just when you think he’s done it all, he starts pretty much the…
