Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
As I mentioned in last week’s 3 on Thursday, our first weekend back since the wedding and minimoon was pretty much perfect. Here are a few reasons why: I love spotting street art and spotted these two in the SoHo area last Saturday. Two very different styles, both great. Jourdan, Brittany, and I like to…

When I planned to spend the day walking around Astoria, I did some research. I wanted to make sure we could go someplace for baklava and I heard Artopolis was the place for all things sweet and Greek.

We arrived in Westhampton early on Saturday and made a beeline for Beach Bakery. Matt and Jen make a stop here whenever they’re in the Hamptons and I didn’t want to miss out on their tradition. My lace cookies, and although they’re my favorite cookie (when made properly), Matt and Jen’s coconut chocolate thing was…
