Eat. Drink. Live.
As is our tradition for, well, many years now, we celebrated Christmas night with a tamale feast. We order them from the Texas Tamale Factory, and they arrive vacuum-sealed in bags, which makes them super easy to heat up. With […]
Maybe it was having the Korean chicken the weekend before? But I got some kind of bug, and we decided to have another bo ssam dinner. (The first one was in February, and it was really delicious.) Two big pork […]
After Superstorm Sandy, Boo lost power. She spent a week with our friend Lisa. After the week was up, she headed home only to discover that though the lights were on, the heat and the hot water were not. She […]
We went on a long one, folks. One of those Rockland Lake ones. There and back, it’s about 20 miles. Fun stuff. Related posts: A Bike Ride on the Rail Trail Art Barge Light Bike Trip Art Barge Bike Trip […]

We’re back in Amagansett for a week of beach life. A little beach time during the day. A little dinner for the kids. Then babysitter comes to the unit and we head to the beach for magic hour. Cheers! Related […]
We had a lovely day to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Boo came up and we went for a long bike ride. Then we had some burgers at the Filing Station (yes, again) and watched a little tennis. Then Greg and […]
Boo stayed the weekend at SCF. Not many photos, I must admit, but here are a few of her horsing around with Sam. Happy baby pose! Related posts: Sarah and Wilson’s Visit A Weekend with Boo Games on the Screened-In […]
We’ve been to The Filling Station a couple of times now, but it hasn’t yet been warm enough for us to enjoy our burgers outside at the picnic tables. Well that time has come, friends. The players, after the jump. […]
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 […]
Wanting to take a look at an apartment that Boo might buy, we headed in to the city to check out an open house on the place. (Thumbs up!) Afterward, we were planning on having Korean food for brunch, but […]

Boo came to spend the weekend at Sour Cherry Farm, and we made supper on Friday night easy by heading out for pizza at the Mountain House. You’ve seen photos of the pizza there already (link here) and good thing, […]
Terroir, a wine bar that first opened in the East Village, has a newish outpost in Murray Hill. Owner Paul Grieco, wine geek extraordinaire, is known for his passion — but also his crazy-good wine lists with encyclopedic descriptions and […]
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. […]
Sounds like it should say Breakfast at Tiffany, doesn’t it? Not quite as luxurious, but every bit as special. No photos of the food today, but here’s a look at the cast. Liz and Susan: \ Related posts: Nyack Garden […]
Any friend of Boo’s is a friend of the Farm. And that’s how we got to be friends with Susan, Boo’s friend from Phoenix. After just one night of cocktails and dinner at the Farm, we felt like we’d known […]

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 […]
“Some things about a big storm to make you happy.” At least as long as no one gets hurt. And that seemed to be the case on Saturday night of Irene. The hurricane. Not the person. The warnings had been […]
SCF fans might remember chef Andrew Carmellini from our trip to Locanda Verde a while back and also from this piece of mine on the future of dining in Arrive mag (which was nominated for best magazine feature by the […]

After our delicious lunch at ABC, we headed off to Madison Square Park and then to Ground Zero. We debated about a five o’clock cocktail, but my pregnant feet were killing me, and I was ready for a rest. Here […]
We adored our lunch at ABC Kitchen. You just feel like you’re dining in New York. Something about it — the local farm-to-table menu, the relaxed but beautiful setting, the here-and-now feeling of the food — just make you feel […]

We celebrated Father’s Day with a barbecue: baby back ribs, cole slaw, potato salad, the works. Boo was here, and the folks, and we also invited Un Gilbert: Jim. Peggy, the other half of Les Gilberts, was out of town. […]
