Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
Other than the Super Bowl, I don’t have any plans this weekend so I guess I’ll be figuring it out as I go. I’m slowly getting back into a gym routine so I’m feeling pretty good and I want to take the weekend to get the rest of my life in order…not that it’s particularly…

It’s been so cold in New York so I am extremely excited to head to the warmer temps of Vegas tomorrow. There are plenty of things I’m excited for, but one of them is the opportunity for a lot of quality time with my brother. We don’t always get 1-on-1 time anymore so I can’t wait…

As of last weekend, we are done with weddings in 2014. I have loved each and every one, but I’m kind of excited to have some more low key weekends on the horizon. That said, my weekends seem to be filling up pretty fast… In celebration of the brand new Lego store in Flatiron, Madison…
