The Cameras Just Love Me!
Well lookee who we have here — The Lovely Miss Katie, on the left, chatting away with me, on the right, at Dennis Foy last Thursday night. Two photos in the Times within two weeks — woo hoo! Mr. Bruni gave it one star — seems right to me. Here’s my brief write-up on Gothamist.

Part Two
So the second fun thing that happened last week is that I got to interview Mario Batali. At Otto, no less. I finally invested in a digital recorder, so was able to just talk without taking notes. We sat down over a cappucino and talked about philanthropy (go to CelebrityPastaLovers.com and download the celebrity pasta

Part One
Here’s one of the two very interesting things that happened this week. I was interviewed and photographed for this article in the Sunday Styles section of the Times.

Paris Recap, Part 2
After sleeping for 11 hours, I geared up and wandered across the Seine to the Jardin du Luxembourg, where my Dad told me that he saw many Parisians jogging. I got completely lost on the way there, but had a lovely walk, and after a good run I wandered back along a different route, taking

Paris Recap, Part 1
I’ve gotten a bit of grief from the peanut gallery that I haven’t given a detailed rundown of my Paris trip, so here goes. As a bit of background, with the exception of my last night, I stayed at a studio apartment owned by Blue Marble, the company through which I’ve done my bike trips

Foie Gras Follies
I really do enjoy writing anything about foie gras on Gothamist because it gets the commenters all up in a tizzy. My favorite quote from one of them on yesterday’s post: "It could be made from the hearts of a 1,000 little kittens and I would still think it was dee-lish-ous!"
