The first frost warning of the season is upon us. At the farm, that means it’s time to put down the gin and tonics and move toward something more seasonally appropriate. Last night, we lit a fire and toasted Friday […]
A wonderful pre-theater discovery thanks to my friend and colleague Karen: Lantern’s Keep, an honest-to-goodness cocktail bar right in the heart of midtown. Greg and I hit it up the evening we saw On the Town. It’s a super-cool place with […]
Yes, with the new cocktail glasses. How do you like Greg’s garnish? [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:66] Related posts: Cocktail Recipe: Carjack Sidecar Recipe Meyer Lemon Sidecars Gin Gin Mules
I’m always hoping for a soulful dish to surprise me with a pop of brightness. At Roost in Sparkill, chef-owner Kevin Reilly never fails with either soulfulness or surprise. And his brillant balance of flavor, texture and pop works both […]
Thanks to our friends Jill and Clay, we enjoyed a barrel-aged Negroni on the patio on Monday night. Monday night? Yes, folks. I’m on vacation. Not that not being on vacation ever stopped us before. Now, you may not be […]

We were a little early for a party at the church this Saturday evening, so we took advantage of having a babysitter and enjoyed a cocktail at the bar at Barcel beforehand. A martini for him; a “Barcel Sidecar” for […]
For a story on the British invasion — great British chefs and their food making their way to the U.S. — Kris, Tom, Irene and I visited The Wren in the East Village. Cocchi Cup: Cocchi Americano, Mint, Cucumber, Ginger […]
The spring weather has arrived — at least temporarily. And so there I was, pruning the blueberries in the front with Sam in her newest neglect-a-tron — — and Tasha pops her head out the door. Feel like a cocktail? […]
We just meant to stop by for a drink. But Samantha was sleeping all snug as a bug in rug, and the new menu just looked so darn good. So after a Manhattan and a martini, well, we ordered dinner. […]
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 […]
My good friend and colleague Ed and I got together on a Saturday night to work on a story about New York State spirits. We researched and wrote about several local distilleries, and now we’re developing cocktail recipes that people […]
We had a date with Team America. The movie. And the best part? It was a sing-along. Those of you who know the words to some of the songs in that movie probably understand: that’s bound to be a lot […]
We made the most delicious winter meal from Mindy Fox’s new cookbook, “A Bird in the Oven And then Some.” I can’t rave enough about the book, which is organized in a unique way: roast chicken recipes (and side dishes […]
Our apartment in the Back Bay was right around the corner from Clio, Ken Oringer’s temple of fine dining and his signature restaurant. We weren’t able to get in a meal, but we did stop for a couple of excellent […]
After taking in the matinee performance of The Scottsboro Boys, we headed over to the swanky new — but very old looking — Lambs Club. It’s like the Art Deco lounge of your dreams. You’re living in a 1930s movie. […]
When you’re done with dinner at 8, there’s really nothing wrong with stopping in the local cocktail club for a post, is there? We thought not. Related posts: Goatherd Book Club: A Room with a View A Nightcap at the […]
Is it ever really a good idea to have a nightcap at your hotel bar? I question the intelligence of this, but the fact is, we went ahead, and we ended up with some good material. So here we are, […]
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.
