Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
I am so happy to have a short week this week as we head into Memorial Day weekend. Today is my last day of work before a day of playtime around the city. Then it’s off to Savannah for 8 days of fun and relaxation with family and friends. I recently prepared a sauce that…

After being busy for quite some time I committed myself to one weeknight activity this week and one only. It feels very nice to get home at a normal hour and actually get things done without being exhausted all week at work. I am so excited to see Baz Luhrman’s version of The Great Gatsby.…

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…

Between post-work cocktails, a Broadway show, trivia night, and an out of town visitor, I am ready for my [comparatively] calm weekend. I was lucky enough to get invited to see Ann through work, which means I have now seen my first on-woman show. I was worried it would get boring having just one person…

Who’s ready for the weekend? ME. It took far too long, but Spring has finally sprung and I can’t wait to enjoy it. I’m all about using social media appropriately.

Once again, the quiet weekend I had planned has been booked up with activities and once again I don’t care because I know I’m going to have a great time. For years, Saturday night has been 80s night at Canal Room. The cover band is ridiculous, half the people come dressed up, and you will…

It is very weird to come back from a beach vacation spent entirely in bikinis to freezing cold New York. At least my trip away gave me the reminder I needed that it won’t always be cold and dreary. Spring will soon arrive and I can spend all my time outdoors. New favorite nail color:…

I should probably take things slow this week in preparation for a much needed vacation, but that just wouldn’t be as interesting so I’ve been running at full speed and trying new things. Grand Central turned 100 last week and it is just as beautiful now as it ever was. It is one of my…

The smart thing to do when you’re in two major weddings that are two weeks apart would be to take the weekend in the middle to relax. But that wouldn’t be fun, would it? Instead I went to DC to spend some time with my bestie and had a fabulous time. Now it’s a mad…
