Eat. Drink. Live.
A walk at Tallman State Park, lunch at the Filling Station, and, later, lounging in the back yard with an ancient issue of Bon App. Seems we have a budding journalist on our hands. Related posts: Tarry Tavern with Boo […]
This is how lame a food blogger I have become. I don’t even take photos of my food anymore! But I do have a lovely pic of my friends, with whom I enjoyed a delicious meal at Hudson House. I […]
A fun Saturday around town and at the farm. Art Cafe, Rockland Lake, a visit to Carson McCullers’ grave — and some board games with Sam. At Art Cafe with Boo. Some intense conversation, to be sure. Shakshuka. Of course. […]

A nice supper with Boo at Markt, a Belgian brasserie known for its mussels and beer. Still, they serve a very nice martini. We had shrimp cocktail: = Wings: Mussels with cream and garlic. Delicious. OK, I had a couple […]
Day 3 of paradise on the East End. First, a bike ride. Good morning, sunshine. Trees. Now, to the beach. Wine at 3. Boo, at cocktail hour. We pop over the Lunch for a lobster roll. And back to the […]
Still a bit cloudy, but nice enough for a walk over to the Art Barge. And a quick trip into town. Boo and Kelli play tennis. Friends. Cool weather costume. I’m walkin’ heah! Nice beach house. It’s getting warm, so […]

When the chef says he’s going to cook for you, and you plead that he take it easy because you’re off carbs? And you have a great meal and still stick to your diet? That’s a great evening. Thank you […]
Carson McCullers — author, playwright, tragic figure — would have turned 100 years old this year. She spent more 20 years living in a house on Broadway in Nyack, where she wrote some of her best-known works, including Member of […]
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a night at the theater with Boo. Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close was a treat. She alone was worth it. I started with a Manhattan in Manhattan, at Brasserie Athenee. Grilled shrimp. Pretty […]
No, not the gin. The restaurant. And it’s where I met the girls for a good catch-up. An Old Fashioned was in order. Kelly, Liz, Boo and Mel. Posing with a sweet gift from Ed, a congratulations for my Destinate win. […]

Fancy Mexican food is an oxymoron in Manhattan. A few new restaurants are changing that, though. Cosme, opened last year by chef Enrique Olvera —- a CIA grad who owns of Mexico City’s best restaurants — is the leader. Margarita, […]
So lucky to have tickets to see the best musical to come to Broadway in years. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius, and this show is all that it’s hyped up to be. Go! Related posts: Silence! The Musical Bloody Bloody […]
Warning: there are an obscene amount of unedited photos in this post, so unless you have a vested interest (ie, you were there, I’m looking at you Kelli, Sarah and Boo) or you are very close family (that would be […]
Right down the stairs from Dear Irving is a little Mediterranean restaurant, where we shared small plates, rose and lots of laughs. Funny sign by the bar: It was a beautiful night, so we took a table on the street: […]
What a fun day! We spent the day wandering around the Botanical, visiting the Frida Kahlo exhibit, the Rose Garden and the Native Plant Center. A brief meet-up with Julia, Catherine and Boo was the icing on the cake. We […]

In honor of Grandmom, who never met a burger she didn’t love — an often couldn’t remember the last time she had a burger (“I can’t remember the last time I had a hamburger!”), even when it was only the […]
Boo and I bike to Piermont as often as we can in summer. But for the past 2 or 3 years, on our first trip, we’ve taken an selfie at the Piermont Depot, the halfway point. I present the 2015 […]

Catherine and Boo joined us for a supper by the fire, and we cheered on Catherine’s alma mater as the Wisconsin Badgers beat the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats in a crazy-fun final four game. Catherine was beside herself with the size […]
For the first year, Samantha sort of understood Christmas. She got that Santa was coming, and that he brought her a stuffed stocking and a big present, sitting on a chair in the living room. In her stocking, Sam got […]
