Eat. Drink. Live.
Before seeing “American Idiot,” Greg and I went to Mary’s favorite pre-theater spot, Nizza. For pizza.
After lunch and a matinee of the Broadway show “Promises, Promises” with Kristen Chenoweth, Mom and I met Boo for a drink at Ma Peche. Mom popped out after one drink, and left Boo and I to grab a quick […]
Mom and I had a girls’ day in the city: lunch and a show. For lunch, we went to Anthos, the fancy Greek restaurant in midtown. They have a crazy-good deal for lunch: $28 for a three-course prix fixe. Plus, […]
We had a little bit of an anniversary celebration at our favey local restaurant, Cafe Barcel. I got the frisee salad with lardons, blue cheese and, yes, the poached egg. That’s right.
I don’t say this about too many restaurants, but I walked out the door of my meal at North last week plotting my immediate return. This is not a real review — the restaurant had only been open 6 days […]
I adore Surf Taco. Best fish tacos on the East Coast, I say. So when we realized we were getting to the beach just about lunchtime, we made a detour. For lunch. Fish tacos, of course!
We’d been to Love Lane Kitchen once before — and adored it. Now was our chance to go for dinner. With Lettie, who’d become a regular since moving out to the North Fork last October. It’s a homey, comfortable place […]
And now, the Weber-Wendt families pose on the docks of Lake Washington after a meal of fried fish and burgers: Want to see our lunch? Photos after the jump.
Here’s one way to learn about this history of your town: take a walking tour — and have cocktails at the same time! OK, it was more like pints, rather than cocktails, but we learned a lot and had fun […]
Jake’s Stadium Pizza — one of Greg’s favorites because of its thin, crackery crust and fun toppings, such as Canadian bacon — is moving to make way for a CVS. We were there on its last weekend in the old […]
We took Grandmom out for an early supper in Piermont, and afterwards, we drove out to the end of the pier to look at the view.
After drinks at the Red Hat, we walked around the corner for supper at the Day Boat Cafe, a new seafood restaurant in Irvington. The ceiling is lined with red oars. Our fish dinner, after the jump.
Sue and Trae were in town, so I met them for drinks and dinner on Friday. First stop, Red Hat on the River for cocktails with a view.
It’s just so easy for us to go to Barcel. It’s four blocks away, we love the food, and it’s not that expensive. I guess that’s why we go so often. This time, we went for brunch! Even the toast […]
After our first two stops at Alta and El Faro, we walked along the High Line (sorry, no photos) to our final stop of the evening, Tia Pol. (SCF fans may remember Tia Pol from such posts as BDoF, Part […]
El Faro has been around a very long time. Since 1927, according to the sign out front. Yeah. We’re talking old school. There’s a worn wooden bar, a drop ceiling and a terrazzo cement floor that’s so worn down that the step […]
I’m reporting for a story on The Ultimate Tapas Run for Arrive — and that’s how Boo and I found ourselves with a lovely plate of Lamb Meatballs with spiced butternut squash foam, toasted sesame seeds and lebne while sitting […]
Home from work on Friday. Don’t much feel like cooking. Funny, neither do the neighbors. So the four of us head down to our new favey resto: Cafe Barcel. Didier was at the bar.
Mmm. Spicy tuna roll!
We had a lovely evening in the city Friday, starting with drinks and snacks on the roof at Boo’s, and ending with lots of laughs at El Parador, the classic Mexican restaurant. And yes, we got to meet Craig, center:
When I was reporting for the recent story on waterfront dining in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam, I had the chance to try the new menu at Striped Bass in Tarrytown. The food certainly fits the bill for a waterfront spot: lobsters, […]
SCF fans will remember Christian Petroni, the former chef at Peniche in White Plains. Well last September, he went to a new place called Barcelona, just over the border in Connecticut. I’d been meaning to visit ever since. And then, […]
Cafe Barcel in Nyack is quickly becoming our go-to restaurant when we don’t feel like cooking. It’s just about the closest restaurant you can walk to from the farm, and the food is so darn good. Plus, they recently started […]
The Ranchers have taken to dining at O’Donoghue’s after church most Sunday mornings. This time, Greg and I came along. I had the crab cakes Benedict:
I had a lovely supper with Marissa and Boo at The Cookery. We even tried lambs brains ravioli! I wasn’t too keen on it, but you know what? It tastes like butter.
On Saturday night, the adults got some of their own fun time. First, we headed to supper at La Condesa, a new-ish modern Mexican restaurant downtown. Wow. Was that food amazing.
After I remembered, sadly, that the old Las Manitas had been torn down to make room for more condos in downtown Austin — there are two photos of the exterior in this post here — Greg and I were at […]
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.
