  • More Pictures, Fewer Words

    You'd think I'd have a little time on my hands these days, now that I'm done with Gothamist, but alas, not so much.  I ran off to Chicago for about 24 hours last week then drove up to VT and am finally catching up.  Some photo highlights: Deus — the champagne of beers.  Literally —

  • Into the Woods

    I'm off to the 12th annual OJ this weekend (missed last year) for some friends and leaf-peeping.  I'm a little pooped from my brief jaunt to Chicago (had a great meal with Rachel at the Publican, a newly opened pork-o-riffic spot from the team behind Avec and Blackbird) and some tasty cocktails and snacks at

  • Lobstah!

    Hello, dinner. Although the weather didn't quite cooperate, and neither did our flight home, the trip to Maine was great fun.  Thanks to Katie, Jenn & Lauren for being such great company and to Dad & Joan for spoiling us rotten!

  • There’s No Place Like London

    In the words of Sweeney Todd.  Yes, we have our differing opinions of London (Rob), but I certainly enjoyed my time there.  The pictures are now up.  Highlights included a trip to Oxford with Rebecca, a day at Borough Market followed by dinner at St. John with Rob and Tamara (the famous marrow bones and

  • Home Sweet Home

    All I can say is after that last, bumpy hour and a half of my flight back from London, I sure as hell am happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed tonight.  I also just realized that this is the first return home from a long(ish) vacation since I bought my place
