Beauty is in the Eye . . .
Am I the only one out there that thinks Katz’s Deli is actually quite beautiful? Particualarly when the neon glows subtly as the sun begins to set. . . Am moving in slow-mo today from a very late night at karaoke with work folks. When you’re trying to impress people at the new job, how

Coolness
Coolness is being mentioned in the New York Times. Again. This time, a little less directly. I’m going to be on the "distinguished panel of expert judges" for the Vendy Awards (don’t forget to vote for your favorite street vendor!) Additionally, coolness is finally getting your hands on the ramps you pickled back in May

Walking Down the Aisle
[Not that aisle. Please, people.] Sometimes I forget that food shopping is not as fun for everyone as it is for me. Although I adore Fresh Direct for its convenience, I love the act of deciding I’m going to cook a meal, making a list of what I think I need, then walking through the

Summer Bounty
I strongly encourage all of you to go to a burlesque show if you haven’t done so already, whether you’re on a date or not. Not only were we treated to tunes from the New Orleans Jazz Vipers, but we got to see some fabulous ladies parading their goods with a healthy dose of flair,

Even More Geekiness
Thanks to all for your suggestions and input. I’ll let you know how it goes (and I may actually wait a month or so to do this), but one thing’s for sure: I will NOT buy a Mac. I’m just a PC gal, and that’s the way it goes. In other total dork news, I

Not Bad for a Self-Portrait, Huh?
Taken on the rooftop of Daisy May’s BBQ, where Adam Perry Lang showed me and Jen his garden. Not only was he gracious enough to take the time to show us around, but he gave us each a beautiful aromatic bouquet of herbs and lavender to take home and throw in the tub. A reader

Whew.
To start off: Gothamist makes Forbes’ Best of the Web! Hooray! And now, for the ridiculously fun weekend recap. Friday night, after a trip to the spa for a little microdermabrasion (I know it’s froofy, but my skin felt soooo soft the next day), I met up with a fairly significant posse from the beach

To Tide You Over
Here’s Adam preparing a kobe beef mini-burger — my first-ever exposure to kobe beef! It was delicious, as was everything else. Started writing a very long post based on someone from my past I bumped into yesterday, and haven’t had time to finish. Hope these pictures from Wednesday night’s party can tide you over for

Beach. Fun. Food.
Blah. Blah. Blah. For those of you who aren’t in the beach house, this might be getting tedious, but for the rest of you, here are the pictures! Thanks to all for a great time, Greta for a kick-ass dinner (I seem to be photographically obsessed with the beauty of the antipasti plates), and Yael,

The Secret is Out
So I’m checking my work email last night, and I get an email from a colleague. Part of it is pro bono related (which makes sense), but in the second half, she mentions that she heard I was a food writer and asked if I’d be willing to do a column for our internal newsletter
