Eat. Drink. Live.
For supper on Sunday night, Srimp and I headed down to the annual benefit for the Nyack Center, “Men Who Cook.” We had a ball trying all the different dishes — well, I did, anyway: she had milk. Here’s a […]
We packed Srimp into the stroller and went for a nice walk around town, looking at the homes of people who were kind enough to open them to support this annual fundraiser for The Historical Society of Nyack. Not a […]
A few flowers and seeds, a couple of tomato plants. But of course I only took one picture. Related posts: Recipe: Tennessee-Style Coleslaw Lunch at Cheese Boy in the Palisades Center The Farm Plants The First Crops of 2011
For lunch on Saturday, we went to what appears to be a really rockin’ bar. At least at night, I bet. During the day, it was laid back enough for us to take a big table by the back and […]
A nice little walk in the park before supper. Goats, llamas, koi. What else could you need, really? The park, named after Minnesota’s first Governor, Henry Hastings Sibley, is a quite nice one, really. There’s a playground and a paved […]

I don’t have nearly as extensive of coverage as Jennifer does over on Nyack Backyard, but I took exactly three photographs at the centennial flower show of the Nyack Garden Club. Number one. A scene setter: Number 2. My mom’s […]
Our good friend David, whom SCF fans may remember from this summer in Charlottesville, is in town for a holiday. We met him for a delishy lunch at Pastis, which we chose because 1. David is a Francophile; and 2. It’s […]
After our brunch at the Breslin, Boo and I headed over to the Morgan Library to check out the Dickens exhibit. We also saw good ol’ Pierpont’s library. You’re not supposed to take photos (and I didn’t know that), but […]
On my last day of maternity leave, we went back to the city for a little walk along the High Line and a then had a supper of soup and oysters and the Standard. Here’s Srimp enjoying her milk along […]
Another visit to the Museum of Modern Art? Sure, we’re members, so why not. As Greg points out, MoMA is a convenient way to spend time waiting for cocktail hour to begin. While I was spending my time, I enjoyed […]
The Metropolitan Museum of Art just reopened its renovated American Wing, which displays, according to the Met, “one of the finest and most comprehensive” American art collections in the world. It has George Washington Crossing the Delaware, for one, and […]
Samantha’s first trip to MoMA was to see the Diego Rivera exhibit. Six of his murals were on display; they were ones for which he was brought here to the museum in 1931 to create. He ended up created portable […]
Greg is working on an article for The Valle y Table magazine about maple syrup in the Hudson Valley. So we took an afternoon and went to visit Bri Hart at his White Oak Farm in Yorktown Heights. He has 10 […]
Sam and I will be spending lots of time together over the weekends from now on. Greg got a great new job copy editing at The Daily, and his hours are Saturday and Sunday nights. It’s so terrific for Srimp. […]
In search of a good backpack, we headed to the new Ridge Hill shopping center in Yonkers, which has not only and REI and an L.L. Bean but also a Dick’s Sporting Goods. If you can’t find a backpack in […]
No, I’m sorry SCF fans, we don’t have a new episode of Today at the Mall, with Gregory! Instead, we have a few old college friends getting together for some lunch and shopping. We don’t even really have a good […]
Maybe it was the rice and beans from Maura’s the night before, but I had a hankering for Harry’s. And the weather was so gorgeous that we decided to make an afternoon of it. We walked down the long way, […]
I must have walked past the main branch of the New York Public Library a hundred times, but I’ve never been inside. Today, that all changed. We took in the sites, including those famous lions, a Gutenberg Bible that was […]
Yes, we’re back. We thought it would be a fun spot to take Sarah and Chris and the kids. Indeed, it was! We got a table by the ice rink and sat under the heat lamps, enjoying burgers and soups. […]
For a little holiday diversion, we took the kids to see the butterfly exhibit and the dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Oh how Mae hoped a butterfly would land on her hand. Alas. Everyone, however, […]
Greg, Samantha and I took shelter from a sprinkle under a canopy at the bar called the Southwest Porch at Bryant Park. The park is all decked out for the holidays, complete with an ice-skating rink and a big blue […]
We took srimp — that’s what we’ve taken to calling her these days, srimp. No “h” — to the last outdoor market of the season in Pleasantville. We stocked up on all kinds of goodies. Clockwise from lower left: celery, […]
For Sam’s first trip to the mall (with Gregory!), we had lunch at a brand-new food court stand called Cheese Boy, and took in a 2 p.m. showing of The Descendants. First, the sandwich. A well-made sammy with good bread, […]
Sam’s first trip to Grace Episcopal Church. She really enjoyed the music — it was like her own little lullaby. Related posts: A Harvest Costume Party at Church Christmas Eve at Grace Church Dark Star Orchestra at the Tarrytown Music […]
Those of you who read McSweeney’s can finish that sentence, I’m sure. (Link here in case you don’t know what I’m talking about.) Yes, it’s our annual visit to Shimpf Farm. Gourds, pumpkins and the like. Related posts: The First […]
Dr. Lecter? Dr. Lecter? After much insistence from Boo that “Silence! The Musical” was just about the funniest musical she’d ever seen, Irene, Greg and I joined her for a performance. She may well have been right. We really laughed […]

We do so enjoy heading down to the river to hear the concerts in Memorial Park. A picnic, some wine, the soft summer breeze, the gorgeous view. What’s not to love? Related posts: Concert in the Park Summer Opener: Korean […]
Boo and I had a big day of fun in the city, starting with an exhibit of photos by Ai Wei Wei, moving on to a walk on the High Line and ending up with dinner at The Dtuch. Related […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
