Another 10 Seconds
Towards my 15 minutes of fame. Yes, that was me you saw eating a spam musubi at the new Bamn! automat on CNN’s American Morning this morning. Missed it? Watch the video clip here (there’s a short commercial first — consider yourself warned).

Tapas = Committment-phobic?
I don’t think I would judge a guy based on the restaurant he picks for our first date — well, let me rephrase that. I wouldn’t make assumptions about his character based on the cuisine. I would, however, be likely to make judgments about his taste based on the individual restaurant.

A Few of My Favorite Things
– A weekend at the beach, even if it’s rainy, filled with good company, paella, sangria, games, and laughter.– Coming home to a Fresh Direct delivery.– Dinner at Babbo, especially with good friends.– The octopus with chilis at Peasant wine bar. Don’t forget to sop up all the juices with their crusty bread.– Hearing the

Ain’t That the Truth
From Tanya Weineman Steel at the Epi-log: [W]e women are tired of men who are in better shape than us and who watch their diet and exercise more than we do. Amen, sister, couldn’t have said it better myself. She goes on to talk about how the hottest guys in Hollywood are ones who have

Mobilize
I had completely forgotten that Grant Lee Phillips was playing last night — after having some smoky barbecue at R.U.B. with my now quite pregnant friend Allison (they had ribs this time), I headed to the Knitting Factory and met Ryan for the show. His latest album, nineteeneighties, features covers of some of his (and

Just Catchin’ Up
First of all, in case anyone was wondering what was up with yesterday’s post, Vox is a new blogging system that’s in previews right now. I’ve been playing around with it — let me know if you’d like an invitation. Not sure I like the way it displays here on TypePad when you cross-post, though.

Maine Interrupted
Thanks to Mother Nature, Orbitz, and Continental, our trip to Maine was cancelled, which was quite a bummer. It was nice, however, to have a completely unscheduled weekend in the city, not to mention a three-day weekend. To make up for the trip, I ate lobster all weekend, starting with a lobster roll at Pearl

Another Two Minutes Towards My 15
This morning, in my pre-caffeine fog, I found myself standing next to someone in my office cafeteria. "You look familiar," he said. Well, yeah, I thought to myself. We work in the same office. It’s big, but not that big. "Do you write for Gothamist?" "Yes!" I replied. We introduced ourselves and I went on
