Fame
A recent conversation made it to Overheard in New York. Ah, good times. Between brunch, mint juleps, margaritas, falafel from Taim, a bike ride up to the Cloisters, frisbee for the first time since 1992, a trip to Morimoto for the great noodle challenge, a few great bottles of wine, Sicilian chocolate, some tasty cheese

Ahh . . . Sleep
After a lovely dinner last night with Bill, Katie, and John B. at al di la (the asparagus salad and the lamb special were my two personal favorites of the evening) and drinks at the Ear Inn afterwards, I slept a little late this morning, which I feel like I haven’t done in a while.

Time for a Post
I know, I know. Haven’t posted in ages. Mea culpa. I’ve just been knocking myself out at Gothamist, so all of my posting energy is being sapped. It’s sad. So what can I tell you about the weekend (I’m not even going to try to catch up on last week. It’s so . . .

After that, the 7th annual East

Catching Up Yet Again
Things I have not yet written about that I did last week (among other things that I did but may likely not write about because they are too boring) with extremely brief commentary: ate at Little Giant (scrumptious, get the brussels sprouts, as they’re merely an excuse to eat spoonsful of butter and maple syrup

Catching Up Again
Time to catch up, but first of all, if you haven’t said hello yet, please do — I’m truly enjoying everyone’s comments! Let’s see. Last week I went to a press party at Xing and it was like food blogger central — Augie came with me and I met Ben from Eater, the guys from

Cheesy Poofs and Billy Joel
Sometimes I take a moment in the middle of what I’m doing to realize how incredibly lucky I am. I had several moments like this over the past few days. First, what was going to be an ordinary night (gym, home, bed) ended up with a lovely dinner with Rob at Bar Carrera (If you
