Ah . . . A Long Weekend
But filled with fun stuff, as usual! Friday night I met up with the folks who handle the PR for the Modern Mexican restaurants and had some drinks and snacks at Pampano, then headed out to Brooklyn for dinner and catching up nwith the lovely Miss Katie, Kim, and Rachel. Saturday morning I headed to

It’s Picture Time!
Ah, pictures. This one’s from a stroll past Grand Army Plaza last night. Sure, it’s a little blurry, but I like it, nonetheless. Friday night the Lovely Miss Katie and I went for a schvitz (that’s two weeks in a row, in case anyone’s keeping track) and then had leftover truffle pizza for dinner (from

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

There’s Karaoke . . .
and then there’s karaoke with a group of pro bono folks with some of the top law firms in the nation. Good stuff, and hopefully the start of a trend! Sorry for the slow posting this week; will catch up this weekend. For a glimpse at one of my nights this week, visit Gothamist.

I’m Drivin’ in My Car
Well, not my car. A rental car. I (and my passagers) survived my first time driving around and out of Manhattan — somehow I managed to make it this far without doing it. It went just fine, for the record. OJ was full of friends, fun, food, music, a great run in the pine-scented air,

Weekend Wrapup
Brunch was a huge success (although I’m still perfecting my bloody mary recipe) and, as usual, evolved into an afternoon and evening of festivities, including watching baseball at the Stoned Crow and a trip to Otto (shocking, I know). Sunday was a lazy, lazy day, with plenty of couch time, a mani/pedi, and shopping for

Weekend Wrapup
After going to the FoodCandy meetup and meeting some lovely new folks, I made myself a simple dinner before heading off to Stephanie’s birthday soiree Friday night. Due to the acoustics at the bar, however, it was a little hard to catch up with anyone or, more accurately, nobody could hear me. I have one

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
