Biking, Air Guitars, and Meat
A combo that adds up to a great weekend. As I mentioned earlier, I have two good friends moving in less than a month — one to Austin and one to San Francisco. We met years ago participating in the AIDS Ride, and have been cycling together ever since. Friday night I took it easy

Ladies Who Blog
The other night I had the pleasure of attending Nichelle‘s party at Lava Gina, celebrating the arrival of Venus. She had gathered together a batch of smart, cool people, primarily women, and many lovely ladies who blog were in attendance. Some, like Nichelle, I had communicated with before, but had never met it person, and

Mangia!
Robert Sietsema of the Village Voice recently came out with his top 100 list of Italian restaurants in NYC. I was thrilled to see some of my faves in the top ten, namely ‘ino, ‘inoteca, Max, and Lupa, where I had the pleasure of dining for the first time this past Sunday night after our

My New Neighbor
After much speculation as to what was going to occupy the corner space across the street from my apartment, formerly occupied by a shoe store and, more recently, by a hideous clothing store, I was pleasantly surprised to walk by today to see Le Pain Quotidien. It looks warm and inviting, and they seem to

Graduation/Yay Maine Update
I’m finally home early enough that I have more than five minutes before crawling into bed exhausted. So now, the weekend update. The weekend started out with a road trip. Haven’t done that in ages. But, you put three single women in a car, and the subject always comes back to guys. At one point,

Jack’s Back!
I awoke to the sound of NPR bringing me delightful news in my semi-conscious state: after formerly switching to Crunch-n-Munch, Yankee Stadium has brought back Cracker Jack. I hope this makes you all as happy as it made me — I was so confused last time I was there — the game just wasn’t the

A Little Something to Whet Your Appetite
I’m not sure exactly when I’ll get the pictures up (hopefully tonight), but wanted to give you something to chew on in the meantime. First, continuing on the lobster-related theme, Florence Fabricant goes to Pearl Oyster Bar with the author of The Secret Life of Lobsters. Sounds like a man after my own heart. Second,

The Return from Down East
I made it back from Maine — my brother successfully graduated from college, I survived my final college party (co-llege!), and I managed to have lobster in one form or another four times in three days. What more can you ask for? The full report, I suppose. Tune in later in the week for the

A Taste of Tribeca
My dad was visiting this weekend, and the majority of our plans centered around food. Not all, but certainly most of our day and a half together was focused on where we were going to eat, and when. Luckily for us, his visit coincided with Taste of Tribeca, an all-day food festival featuring a variety
