Recovery
What a weekend. It encompassed a wide range of emotions, tears, laughter, mourning, celebration, love, and friendship and I ran, bike, ate, drank and danced. I celebrated life, love, endings, and beginnings, all the while reminding me to treasure the wonderful people I have in my world. As someone said to me while we were

Weekend Wrapup
After this past weekend, it's time to tone down the caloric intake and keep up with the workouts. Less than one month to go till the tri! Speaking of caloric intake, here's a rundown of my weekend: Friday: F&F at Mihoko's 21 Grams (go if you can, even just for cocktails and sushi) with Jenn

Booze You Can Use: Have a Jack Rose
Photo: Tasting Table Why do I always forget about the Jack Rose? I was reminded of it (again) as I was perusing this fantastic Tasting Table Back Bar piece (no, I didn't write it). The Jack Rose featured here is from Clover Club's Brad Farran. It's a fairly basic drink, and I'd recommend that you

Not only have I learned a great deal about their cognac production, but I have also learned about and tasted their other artisanal spirits, including Citadelle Gin. Now bear with me for a moment, because I

Booze You Can Use: Have a Rickey
I hope your long weekend was as good as mine, filled with food, friends, and family. We got our first taste of summer in NYC, and that means heat and humidity. Saturday was downright nasty out, but luckily the rain cooled things off a bit for Sunday. One of my favorite summer drinks is the

The Great GoogaMooga Was Actually Great. For Me, At Least.
I got tickets for the Great GoogaMooga right away when I heard about it. A festival of some of the city's best food AND music? Free? Why not? Well, after a day of hearing nothing but horror stories from friends on Twitter and Facebook, and talking to some folks who actually worked the event on

Whirling Dervish
I'm about to hop on a plane to Jacksonville for this year's Equal Justice Conference. Given the frantic pace of this week and last week, I'm looking forward to what will hopefully be my first decent night's sleep in over a week. That said, the crazy has been worth it so far — I got
