Gefilte Dog, or What I Like About Jew, Take Two
This weekend, I am off to Portland, Maine, for Passover. Sadly, I will be missing my monthly wine club society meeting — we meet the first Sunday of every month. When I told my neighbor, who organizes the wine club society, that I would be home for Passover, he responded, correctly, “but Passover’s on Monday.”

Truly Tasteless (and Taken)
As some of you know, my friend Doug has a blog called Planet Gordon — he blogs about being engaged, but from the groom’s perspective. Doug IM’d me yesterday, asking if I had read his blog. Turns out that he was concerned about a little intellectual property issue. He had designed and started selling t-shirts

The City of
Brotherly LoveCured MeatsI had a wonderful time in Philadelphia this weekend. And yes, I got my provolone with. But — that was hardly the highlight of the weekend, culinary or otherwise.

I’d Like Provolone With.
A few years ago, my friend Geek lived in Philly. I visited him one weekend, and, knowing me well, he made sure that we went out for authentic Philly cheesesteaks. He also took the time to prep me on the proper way to order. First of all, a Philly cheesesteak comes with Cheez-Whiz unless you

Manhattan Users Guide interviewed a number of New York bloggers (some of whom are on my links list, on the left) to get lists of their top ten favorite things about New York. I agree with many of their picks. The Morning News ranks pizza as one of their favorites — it’s hard to explain

I was out for a drink with a friend who had recently moved to the neighborhood, and I was giving him recommendations for some of my favorite places nearby. Although some are technically outside of Greenwich Village (reaching into far off places such

City Mouse and Country Mouse
I just returned from a long weekend in Lyme, New Hampshire, visiting my sister. She is 22, currently living in a house with five other people, most of whom are med students at Dartmouth, which about 20 minutes away in Hanover. I had a wonderful weekend, but it is almost laughable how opposite our lives

So Where Should I Go?
I always seem to be that person. You know — the one that people ask when they’re looking for a restaurant or bar recommendation. Since my Chinatown post, a few friends have asked me to post more restaurant picks and recommendations. And as you know, your wish is my command. Now granted, my knowledge fades

Chinatown*
I got an email on Friday from a guy who had stumbled across my Daisy May’s chili cart review. He was saying that he was going to keep tuning in for more reviews, so here goes another one! Today’s review is Great NY Noodletown‘s salt baked shrimp. Good stuff. Despite the name, I’m pretty sure
