Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
To onlookers, my weekend probably looked pretty boring. Following a low key dinner on Friday I spent all of Saturday on my own. Sure, I took a quick subway ride to SoHo, but most of the day was spent watching tv on the couch and reading a book in bed. Even when I did venture…

I made the difficult decision to lay low on Saturday and Sunday. I knew that if I didn’t, it would mean seven straight weeks with no time to myself. While that means I may have missed out on a party, I got to rest up and recharge my batteries. After spending my weekend taking a…

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday! I’m spending my X-mas break in Vail so it’s sure to be a white one – even more so than today’s background pic of NYCs first real snow of the season. Happy holidays! As a Southerner, I didn’t grow up watching hockey but am happy to adopt…

It was so nice having Monday off for Columbus Day. I know most people weren’t so lucky so I was sure not to waste my good fortune. It felt great to be so productive. This week’s background: the lamps on the wall at Public. I spent this past weekend in Connecticut for Albert’s sister’s wedding.…

Thanks to a bye week for football, it looks like this weekend will be pretty calm. It sounds cheesy, but I plan to use the free time to reflect and enjoy the fleeting moments found between the seasons. This week’s background pic is a shot from Central Park, which just happens to be a great…
